sorts OF estimates are going out of Chi
cago today The London newspapers and
particularly the Lombard street bankers
are crying for accurate figures. Their cor
respondents in New York have cabled daily
that Mckinley's election was an assured
fact on the other hand Mr.. Morton
Frewen, the great English exponent of BIZ
metGllism and a man of much wealth.

London Wild and queries are coming hour
ly TO Chicago. The correspondent OF the
London Chronicle today cabled his paper
that the result OF the election depended
upon Indiana and Michigan He gave to
Mckinley in his estimate Illinois, Minno-
sofa and Iowa He added that Mckinley
would need both Michigan and Indiana to
win These two states he wired were doubt
full II may be said that this information
came from republican headquarters. 1t is
Hannas real estimate.
In private talks today Mr.. Hanna cx-
pressed uneasiness over the situation. He
expressed fears about which party would
become the depository OF the great silent
vote-that unknown quantity which both
parties admit exists
Evidently the cablegram which Henry
c. Payne sent to London yeste. day request
ing that G100 coo be thrown upon the New
York stock exchange this morning for
loans at current rates was acted on. The
cable was sent for the purpose OF breaking
the political effect OF such an enormous
call loan rate OF interest on the stock eX
change and that fact the republicans be-
lieved might seriously cripple Mckinleys
chances. Hanna has been keeping up the
courage OF the stock brokers and bankers
by such acts. He has also exercised an eff
fective hand through his London co-part-
ners in elevating the price of wheat. 1t is
true the worlds supply is short, but not
so short as doctoTed reports have made the
same appear, Money and the knob pledge OF
it's use by republican managers nave been
effective in this
That Mr. Hanna has managed to con-
vince the financial centers OF the Eastup 10
two days ago. that Mckinley's election was
certain, is evidenced by letter which
have from a prominent New York broker
