AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Returns VIII he Received This Even
| ing and Sent Out to WOOdley.

Nothing occurred at the White House to-
day to indicate any special interest in the
result Of the elections all over the country.
Official business was transacted as usual
and all the inmates of the house, from the
President down to the lowest menial pur-
sued the even tenor of their way, apparent
ly oblivious of important happenings in the
Presidents state and elsewhere The Pres
ident came in from his country home about
~: 30 o clock, half an hour later than usual.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland,
who came in to see some friends and to do
a little shopping.
At IL o'clock the members of the cabinet
assembled at the White House and the reg
ular semi-weekly meeting was held. 1t
lasted until nearly O'Clock. There were
two absentees, Secretary Lamont, who has
gone to New York to vote for Hill, and
Postmaster General Bissell, who Is confined
to his house with a bad cold Secretary
Gresham came to the meeting, but stayed
but a short time, excusing himself on the
plea of sickness. He intended to vote the
democratic ticket in Illinois and registered
for that purpose, but was taken suddenly
i'll and was unable to stand the long jour
ney to Chicago.
1t Is said that the elections will not in
terfere in any way with the President
| routine and that he will spend the evening
at WoOdley with his family just as though
nothing unusual was on hand. Notwith-
standing this apparent lack of interest in
the matter on his part, the customary ar
| rangements have been made to receive COM
plete election returns at the White House
this evening. Private Secretary Thurber
has invited the members of the cabinet to
spend the evening there with him, and they
will thus be made acquainted with the
principal results of the day There is a
private telephone wire between the White
House and Woo6ley, which will be
utilized for the Presidents special ben
| eft in case he DECIDES to spend. the
evening alone with his family, away
| from the hustle and excitement of
| the city. Mr. Thurber will send him brief
| bulletins of important results and will give
| him full details in cases in which he takes
| a particular interest, such the result in
| Representative Wilson's district
1t is also safe to assume that the election
| or defeat of Mr.. Hill in New York will be
| communicated to him by telephone briefly
| or at length, as the result may dictate.
| Private Secretary Thurber has accepted the
| offer OF the Associated Press to send full
| election returns to the White House this
| afternoon and evening.

ELECTION DAY WEATHER..
How the Morning Official Map Bears
on the Situation.

The weather bureau gets into politics at
least once a year and sometimes oftener.
But for one day in the twelve months this
branch of the government has decided in
fiuence over the political fate OF the nation.
That day is election day, when the state
of the weather and the condition of the
roads play most important part in the
matter of getting out the vote There
fore the map issued by the bureau at 5
o clock this morning is OF unusual interest
10 the thousands Oh people hei in " asn-
Ington, who are forced by their circum-
stances to watch the battle from atar and

ing enacted over the country today.

one of these was OF some considerable ex-
tent and may possibly prove disastrous to
the republican party, tor it spread over
more than half OF New York and all of New
england. The tendency, however, was for
it to swing out to sea along the Canadian
shore, and the forecast for this region for
the coming thirty-six hours was as follows
Fair tonight and Wednesday,; warmer
Wednesday; high northwesterly winds,
diminishing in force.
1t is known that this storm brought much
rain and snow TO the state of New York.
and in some cases made the roads very bad.
1t extended down into New Jersey and
along the eastern edge of Pennsylvania.
Clearing conditions follow closely after the
storm, and 1t is not unlikely that by this
hour the rain and snow have passed over
New York and New Jersey and are now
conferred over northeast New England,
where little or no effect will probably be
wrought upon the elections.
There a tiny rain spot around Buff
falo, evidently a local storm. The ndica-
tons for this region showed that it would
be generally fair" With a tendency to
grow warmer.
The third rain area covered almost all of
Ohio and Michigan and the western end OF
Pennsylvania. The forecast for Ohio was
fair for western Pennsylvania "gener-
ally fair" and no special forecast is given
for Michigan.
Beyond this territory there Is a great
area of fair weather. extending west of the
Rocky mountains. There is little rain re-
gion around Havre Mont. In Washington
there is quite a stretch of rain region, COW
ering most of the state. These both appear
to be local, and as there is no special fore
cast for those regions 1T is to be presum ed
| that the storms are of little consequence
The entire southern country is fair Frosts
are predicted in northern Florida and IN
the east Gulf and South Atlantic states
Considerable rain fell yesterday in the
east. The following records are noted on
the morning map: Albany, eighty-six hun

inch and four hundredths; Philadelphia
fifty-eight hundredths; Atlantic City, tbir-

pccial From a Staff Correspondent.

Special From Staff Correspondent.
GRAFTON, w. Va, November 6.-The
campaign in Mr.. Wilson'S district closed
last night with both Wilson and Dayton at
Grafton where big democratic and repub-
lican meetings were held. Both sides are
claiming victory. Stephen b. Elkins says
Wilson will be beate by 400. John T. Nc
Graw, chairman of the democratic COM
mittee says Wilson will be elected by a
majority between 2s5 and $40. M. F. Hall,
chairman of the republican committee,
says that Dayton, the republican candidate,
will be elected by plurality OF from eoo
to 100. The fact OF the matter Is, potn
sides are scared. There is no room for con-
fidence on either hand. Whichever side is
beaten will claim fraud. They are tuning
up for it already. Chairman McGraw
charges that Elkins and the leather trust
are using money against Wilson, anu tnat
the West Virginia central railway Is beng
utilized against him. The repuDllcans are
vigorous in their charges that money III
large sums Is being used by the democrats,
ana that efforts at intimidation have De III
made. Both committees gave out inter-
views last night explaining why they are
going to win, but they are not worth tele-
graph tolls. The honest confession OF the
leaders that the winners majority may be
under 500 tells the tale only too plainly that
science can foretell the result. n. o. M,
WHEELING, w. Va, November g.
Weather clear and cool. A heavy vote Is
being pollej, the workers OF both parties
having started early to get out the votes.
The feeling Is intense. the republicans are
confident and the democrats hopeful. Con-
siderable scratching Is being done by demo-
Gratis for Congressman ana the legislature.

CHICAGO, November 6.-with the
weather bright and cold, the vote in Chi
cago and Cook county today is a heavy one.
unusual interest being displayed in the
election. The campaign throughout the
state, and particularly here in Cook county.
was hot from start to finish, the climax be-
ing reached when Mayor Hopkins leader
of the democratic forces, was accused of
blackmail, and in retaliation caused the
arrest of the republican state chairman,
John r. Tanner, for criminal libel. The
democratic party paid especial attention to
a banquet alleged to have been given by
George NJ. Pullman to the republican county
candidates. Gorgeously Autographed car
toons and placards of generous size, show
ing close communion between Pullman
porters, Pullman pie and republican par
tisan leaders. were sown broadcast over
the city. The republicans, with equal
liberality, covered walls and sidewalks with
twelve-foot-squGre posters. which, in type
sixteen inches tall, denounced the story
officially as "A democratic lie"
The populists scored both the old parties
on the so-called Pullman issue
Interest In the congressional contests Of
the county and city centered largely in
the picturesque struggle in the 70 lrth
district, where the aspirants were a unique
trio-ex-Congressman Frank Lawler, an
INDEPENDENT ca1uluale, 11mOtny Ryan, DEM
ocrat, AMI ex-Justice of the Peace Charles
Woodman, republican. Ryan, the regular
democratic nominee, was during the cam
paign charged by his opponents with lavish
use of double negatives, with spelling his
name "Thimmotty" and with other gram
natical and photographed indiscretions
forcibly recalling ex-Congressman LAWYERS
efforts at national legislation in the direc-
ton of spelling reform.
Another interesting feature was developed
by the TACT that after a hard fought legal
battle women were given the privilege of
voting for state university trustees and,
as each. ticket had a woman candidate, a
very large vote was cast by the fair sex.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, November 6.-Great
