Nothing but routine business was transacted
either at the vhits house or any Of the
executive departments. The President and
Secretary Of state and Attorney General

the government in town, the departments

dinstes, and all the officials Of the adminiz-
train being away 70 elecciOnezr and .

HARRTs0y's INTEREST II TEE CAMPAIGN.
The President seems 70 have recovered
his interest 10 the campaign. He to-day
asked for aud obtained by telegraph, not
only from the national COMMITTEES but from
the campaign committees throughout the
country, confidential estimates as %

TIE President. IS his custom has been IN
other years, has made out preliminary
table Of estime o. on the election, including
maJorlties and pluralities, which would be
very interesting 70 publish but which. of
course, cannot be gotten.
RECEIvIsG THE RETURNS.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening he will
spend most Of his time in his office, lead
paucil IN hand, reading the returns, which
viii be fur nished him, not only by every
agency taking returns in this city, but di-
rectly from che republican campaign COM
mittee in New York and elsewhere, as they
are brought to him from the special wire
in the telegraph Office right across the COR
Tidor. and comparing the result with his
estimates. Both the President and his
friends were disturbed by to-day's rainy
weather and the weather bureaus predic-
tious that the wet weather will continue to-
morrow. They believe that it is true that
the democrats are more willing to brave
stormy weather for the sake Of voting than
the republicans.
MILLER MORE CoNCILIAToRY.
Later ia the day the Attorney General
authorized statement that United States
deputy marshsls will not wantonly force
themselves behind the guard rails at cleo
tion booths in New York city or elsewhere
and will only go beyond the limit pre-
scribed by the state law in order to make
arrests or preserve the peace. In explana-
ton for his rather unexpected return to the
capital at this time, the Attorney General
said: 81 thought that might be OF more
use here than. in Indiana in case of any
unusual evenH occurring anywhere"
When asked il he really anticipated
trouble he replied that he did not; that he
relied on the good sense and patriotism of
the people 10 charge Of the polling places to
prevent violations Of the law and breaches
of the peace. The United States deputy
msrshals are supposed to be good citizens
and their Instructions are explicit, not to be
aggressive or to provoke hostilities. At
torney General Miller said he feels sure that
the deputy marshals will not invade the
polling places without cause or endeavor to
show wanton exercise OF authority.
