CHICAGO , Juno 17. [ 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

Paul from the postal service for negligence

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

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-

His state is for him from boi dor to border

Senator N. W. Aldnchs of Rhode Island ,
who is working hard in Allison's interest ,
said ; "Wo look for thu nomination of Alli

Dakota Will Care for Its Frlrnda.
CHICAGO , June 17. A new element In the
presidential contest was inndo apparent to
night when the Dakota men and Washington
territory contingent , representing twelve
votes , openly declared that they will take
care of their friend ! ! . Sherman's friends
were exultant. Dakota's cause had been
nbly championed In the national committee
by Colonel Hookcrof Vermont , n piouounccd
Sherman man. Allison's friends also put in
a claim on Dakota's good will in return for
the services of J. S. Clarkson , who had also
s'oott by Dakota in the national committee.
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. J. M.
Bailey of Dakota , who was spokesman for
the territory before the national committee ,
said to an Associated press reporter this
evening that the delegation had not settled
upon a candidate.

Cable Special lo Tun BEE. ] If straws
show which way the wind blows , then two
things Unit Kotscr William II. did on the
very Instant of his father's death causes gen-
crnl comment nnd arouses the ginvcst ap
prehension for the future. Knlscr Frederick
wns dead at t\\elvo minutes past 1 Friday
morning. The then Crown Prince William ,
together with the other members of the Im
perial family , was nt the emperor's death
bed. At the very moment of death
the crown prlnco walked out
of the chamber und gave orders
to his aide-de-camp , Major Baron von Notz-
incr , to have the palace surrounded by fresh
cordons of troops and sent another oftlccr to
order the regiment of hussars of the guard
to patrol the grounds and to let no
one in nor to let no ono go out. The hussars
arrived at a smart trot nnd illd their duty ad
mirably. Even Sir Morcll Mucken/Io was
for half nn hpur held a prisoner. 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.
