[ Special TelCRrnm to TIIK UPK. ] Tlio hcadcmartcrs of the Ne braska delegation nt the Grand Pacific offers n striking contrast to the delegation head quarters of the same state at the Palmer house four and eight jcurs ago. At these preceding national gatherings the rank and file of the party commingled with the dele gations irrespective of faction or even presi dential preference. To-day the headquarters of thejlclegatlon are llko a sectional view of the Lincoln oil rooms , with Walt Seeley r as the quartermaster and the railroad at- ? torncya looking after the commissary. The rendezvous of the delegation presents the cheerfully familiar appearance of room 14 nt the Capital hotel during the last session of the legislature. Omaha has furnished her full quota to this contingent.N Herb Lcavltt nnd Dave Mercer ere making thcmsclvrs very numerous , while Prank Walter holds himself in rcscivo for the more delicate work of the canvass. The only oil room greaser that is foifnd missing up to this houi is Kiir Trumpet Crawford , whoso elo quence had such a visible effect on the granger element during the last legislative session , Outside of the Omaha contingent , THI : muss COI.IAHID I'IIAI.ANX | Is In full possession of thu quarters selected by Church Howe and Walt Sceloy. Paul Vandervoort , that blood-thirsty veteran whenever never came within a thousand miles of a battle , has come nil the way fiom Washing ton to join the railroaders in knifing Greshnui , with whom ho has nn unsettled account to balance , since Grcslnun dismissed Paul from the postal service for negligence nnd liicfllcicncy. Church Howe , Thuiston nnd Pat Egun arc swapping the delegation to anybody nnd everybody , exchanging prom ises of support of picsidcntial candidates for the votes or committcemcn on behalf of Thuiston's ' candidacy for tcmpotaiy chair man. This seems to bo the solo aim nnd ob ject of the Nebraska delegation at the Chicago cage convention. Every other Intuiestund every other issue has been suuk in the ono Buprume effort to i LBV.VTU NUIIIASKA'S J VKI : siiAtii1. into national prominence. A gieat stiuss is laid upon the jug handle which attaches to the title of Judge to Thurston's 11.11110. The impression is spread mound that ho secured this title on the supreme bench of Ncbiaska , when in fact Tliurston never expounded the law excepting as a justice of the peace among the slums of the 'Ihiul waid of Omaha. The lamented General Stiickland used to boast that in a campaign ho could tin n a corner about ns fast as the next man ; but thegcncial was only a novice in tho- business compared to the oily tougued politi cal Sampson fiom Omaha Two weeks ago ho told u Chicacro Herald ic-poiter that Ins heaitwas broken when Ululno withdiuw , but when the Ciiliforniiins came jcbtciday witli their 151aiiio banncis and a competing candidate for tuinpoiary chilli man , Thuis- IOII'H heart didn't . \cain nny moio for Hlaiuo thsin it did in IbTO , when oho was forniust him , nnd again in IS0 , when nn I > LIILiitn A sriiuuTiuuvNGt i : in tills cltj for Grant while the convention wns in session as ngainst the plumed fa\onto of Nebraska icpublicana. To the novice in politics the gyrations of Chuich Howe nnd Thurslon nmst be rather bewildeiing. When Justice Miller was in Omaha tundajs ago holding ciieuit , couit , Tlim-Hton declared that after Hlaino his Hi st choice wns Judge Miller , and next Miller ho would favor De- pew. The next thing wo heaid of was a visit to Wisconsin , and Thurston's dli > co\ery of Jerry Husk ns his next choice after Hlaine. Tills was u bait to Wisconsin. It was followed by n , vuntldcntml compact be tween Thuiston. Chuich Howe und Claik- son , by which Tliurston nnd the delegation were to give suppoit to Allison In rctuin for Clarkson's vote in the national committee for Thui ston On the heels of this little ar rangement , Patiick Ugun , whoso highest ulm is to ( IT.T TIIUItBTON INTO TUB CIUIll , rocs Into the Algcr camp to ni range for the Mipport of Michigan. Thu delegates who icprcsent the provinces of tin1 Union Pacific west of the Missouri river have been annexed Without much double , and Church Howe , who is behind nobody us n trader , has made swaps light and loft for Thuiston from tick ets to delegates. I feel safe In'asserting that the number or votes promised from Nebraska tovaiious candidates would bo enough to nominate any ono of them on the first ballot. Wlien Itcoines to delivoilng the delegation theio will bo n good deal of lull bwearitnr at thu honest granger state of NubiasUa , which will bo lopiusonted on the floor this time by men who have nuver turned u spade except in a game of pokor. Whether Tliurston will finally nmko It de pends very much upon his ability to bamboozle boozlo the committee and the suppoitcrs of the various boonib for twenty-four hours longer. Nubinsku i oprc.senUuivcs who have some icspecl left and take prhlo in the po sition which the state has occupied on na tional issues , have icason to feel humllatcd ut this unseemly scumble for honors for an unprincipled politician at the expense of the good namu of a. gi cat state. U.K. AN UXCUHTAIN SITUATION. No Ono Can Predict Wlio tlio Nomi nees Will Hco. CHICAGO , Juno 17. [ Special Telegram to Tim HuL''J More than two-thlids of the del egates have arrived und the different head quarters , most of which nro located in thu Grand Pacitlo and Palmer house , nro crowded with the adherents of the different candi dates. The situation this evening is little changed fiom that of last night. Thu Gi csh- nm movement is still further * pera'ptubly weakened. The over zealous workers for the judge havu created so many antagonisms by their desire to advance the Interests of thulr candidate piior to thu assembling of the con vention that the inembois of sov.'ral dologu- lions which wcro originally friendly to his Intei call are now out i > ikon In tliiilr opposi tion.

His name , however , will bo presented nnd sixty of Now York's votes will go to him on the first ballot. "I do not believe , " said Sen ator Teller to day , "that wo could iwsslbly carry Colorado with Dcpow. The anti-rail- road feeling is very strong in the state , and whether Just or unjust In Its application to Mr. Dcpow's candidacy. It would prove fickle " 11 his case. You can put down Colorado ns , democratic state with Cleveland running .gainst Dope w. " Senator Jones of Nevada ilso frankly expressed tlio opinion that any manifestation of n dcsiro to advance Mr. Dcpow's interests would bo greatly to the isadvnntugc of the party In the west. Sen ators nnd congressmen from Iowa , Kansas nnd Minnesota also Join in the general vcr- : llct , while several members of the Nebraska delegation admitted that his nomination ivould never bo supported by the people of .heir state. Senator Allison's candidacy Is gaining itrcngth. The Allison headquarters were ipcncd lost night In tlio ladles "ordinary" of .he Grand Pacific. They arc the most elab- irate nnd most beautifully dccoratod of any n the city. The name of Iowa's favorite son glitters In electric letters over the door In a 'ramcworkof Amcilean flaps. The walls of ho largo apartment nro entwined with ban- : icrs and wreathed with flowers. Portraits of the great lowan are framed in smilax aud roses and beautiful natural flowers. A ros- rum at the noi th end of the room is faced by a fine crayon portrait of the senator , twined with a silken flagand about it flutters n hawk , the emblem of the Huwkeyo state. Tlio room is FILLED WITH ENTHUSIASTIC IOWIVS who ore confident in the success of their 'avoritc. Senator James Wilson of lowu to- light said to mo : "The outlook Is very favorable - able and I am convinced that wo shall bo successful. Senator Allison's long and val. uiiblo soi vices to the republic have made .heir impicssion and he Is the least objection nble man , in my opinion , who can bo offered. His state is for him from boi dor to border and ho has the right to expect the suppoi t of its neighbors in whoso interests ho has always been n hard woikcr. " Senator N. W. Aldnchs of Rhode Island , who is working hard in Allison's interest , said ; "Wo look for thu nomination of Alli son. Wo have assurances of suppoit which cad us to believe that ho is the choice of noio delegates than nnv other candidate. His purity of ehar.ic er und his unremitting scivices to the countiy entitle linn to this honor from the icpicsoiitativc-j of the wcsl and bespeak for him nn equal support fiom those of the east. National CoinmittccmnnClarkson said thai ttie outlook for Allison was favorable mil ! that they had lost none of the confidence vhich they felt when their headquarters were first opened. "You can sec , " said he , that Allison Is fast gaining and wo behove that he will ba u winner. " Congressman Joscim Ljman und ex-Govcinor Gear albo expressed substantially the same opinion. There hao becu a largo number of callers on the Ncbiaska delegation to-day. The na tioniil committee meets at 10 o'clock to-moi row morning to nominate the temporai.\ chairman und the members of the delegation expiess the greatest confidence that J.

The attempt to diaw fiom Sen atoi Shciman bomo of his sou them coloicc , friends has cntheiy failed and they c\pi ess the btiongcst confidence in the Ohio states man's staying poweis when the ballot taking shall begin , Theiu nic evidences to-night that movement for the ticket of Harrison , of In diaua , and Phulps of Now Jcisoy , Is gather ing considcrablo stiongth.

When Colonel Ingcrsoll was informed that New York had ngiccd to support Depew , ho said , In answer to n reporter's question : "Personally I do not know much about the granger states , or whether they will support Uepew or not. Of course there would be the cry of the nominee being u railroad president , but I think the people nro intelligent enough to know that he Is en gaged in a lawful business and it is haidly fair to say that u man in that position is not cilglblo to political prcfeimcnt.

The change to Dakota men night by John C. Mew of Indiana and Lawson of Now York was interprete < l as thicatcnlng to mean that Harrison , pcrhnps.hnd a mortgage on fresh support from Dakota , and that the ambition of Warner Miller of Now York to bo chairman of the convention would re ceive help from the same source.

Even the passes given by Prince Uadolin , hof-maisclmll , ana by Count Zeckcndorff , the emperor's chambcrlin , were annulled. Within two minutes after ICniscr Fiedcrlck's death a friend of.mlnc , provided with ono of the hof-marschalf's p.isscs , who was In th o palace nt the time of the emperor's death , was unable to got out , and was kept a prisoner in the guaid house from 11:30 : to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. All Potsdam w.is patrolled by troops , exactly as If in war time in the presence of an enemy. This n'gid and uncalled for milit.irj mcnsuio was the very llrst act of thp new cmpeior. The second act was to order the Impci ial puiplo standaid to be hoisted on his own palace , the Marmor palace at Potsdam. The young cmpcior's imperial standard w.is hoisted within ilyo minutes after his fathci's death , so not much time was lost in assei tIng - Ing his imperial authority. These are the two Hi st acts of the young cmpeior. No one dares say much about it in IScilin , but they cause general uneasi ness and arc rcgaidcd as emblematic of what is to come bye nnd bye. In fact , an Influential member of the icich- stag , not a socialist but a stalwart national ist , said to me : "I see from these two acts thatthcio is danger ahead for GUI many. O'ur gieat Kaiser William and our good Kaiser Frederick both died peacefully in bed , but our joung and energetic Kaiser William II. will , as you Ameiicans say , 'die with his boots on. ' I don't think theio is much danger of war , but rather of his provoking with his in bitrary military measuies a statoof feel ing throughout Germany that will arouse socialistic attempts and lead to intei nal sti ife and discoid. I think the immediate effect of Kaiser William's icign will bo to incie.ise German muuigiatiou to Ameiica about bO per cent. " The above language expresses to-day the feeling of the gieat masses of the Germ in coplc. The new cmpeior mny not prove to ba such a hotspur after all , but such is the opinion .jlicady foimea of him. Ho is im- potous and dashing , but will the great masses of the Goimiin paople submit to pure military rule and will the other German kings and grand dukes , the king of Saxony , tin1 regent of Uavan , the king of Win tern- burg , the grand duke of Meck lenburg , the grand duke of Saxe Coburg , submit to the absolute sceptio of the joung cmpeior , who by a gesture of his hand hus thu sole power of declaring war , with the same implicit obedience with which they obeyed thu venerable kaiser William II. Such mo the questions that cseiy thinking , man in Gcinuiny is now asking himself , for with the death of kaiser Fiedciick was extinguished all immediate hope of iifieo billet und frco representation.
