a very remarkable feature of the i'm

ladies who suffered the crush and rush and
push of the seething throngs in order TO
catch the news hot from The wires.
At no election ever before in this country
have the ladies Of Washington, irrespective
of station in life, gone out on the street

of favorable reports, even from States
that Were considered doubtful that by S
p. III. The Times was able to bulletin the
prediction that the landslide was for
Mckinley.
This evoked the first almost universal
roar from the 10000 throats in front and
on the wings of The Times Building.
1t was Il shout that could have been
heard as far as the boundary, and went
pus>lniy as far as the rays of the search
light from the top Of the building, which
