( Specla Telegram. ) Today was a day of Intenst activity , although the number of delegate ! nnd visitors was not extremely large. The gubernatorial situation at a late hour to night , In Its general aspect , hao not changei materially ; that Is to eay , Parrott It ) stll conceded to lead as to the number of vote : ho will have on the first ballot , with Fun ! a good second. The partisans ot Byers , Shav and Haruh worked hard today to break tin Panott lines and each man Is confident tha ho will be able to land the prize if the bal lotlng becomes protracted. Fllcklnger has also arrived and openci headquarters , but ho docs not expect to pol any conoldcrablo vote on the start and wll have to depend entirely upon protracted bal lotlng for a chance for the nomination. Tin Ilr-m y county delegation arrived early Ii the morning and opened headquarters at tin Clifton hotel. It seemed today as thougl the Harlun stiength was something alto gcther Intangible. In fact , lo tell the truth there were no evidences ot the Harlan boon today. What strength ho might display I ' there Is a proctractcd contest In the con vcntlon cannot be predicted , It Is concede that the Harlan following Is without an ; organization whatever and wholly sent ! mental. The Fuller strength at present i largely confined to the Fourth district , al though he will have several scattering vote from a number ot delegations. Mr. Fulle niakcH an excellent oration , haa a fine rcc ord hack of him nnd If It were not for th fact that thu Parrott forces fell somewha bitter against him because ho entered th fight late In the day , thus securing a ills trlct that would have been practically soil for Pnrrott , his chances would bo a giea deal better than they are today. John Cownlo of Iowa county seemed t have headquarter ! In the saddle today. H was doing a large amount of personal wort but to what purposes cannot even bo guessed CHANCE FOR SHAW. There was conolderable talk today ot combination against Parrott with Shaw a the beneficiary. The Shaw workers ar among the most active. His law partnci Carl Kuelinle , has a very extensive acquaint nnco and never sleeps. Ho and his assc ( lutes claim that the outlook is very cu couraglng. A number of the leading poll tlclans admit that If Parrott does not dc velop itrength very soon after the fight coir nionccs that his forcca will , .break to Shaw Some of the very shrewdest politicians p'n diet that the Crawford county lawyer \vl win not later than the fifth ballot. It I asserted that Parrott cannot hold his suppoi In the Seventh district for more than on ballot ; that ho cannot bold tbe Fifth fc moro than two or three ballots , and tlu when that goes his supporters In the Fire district will desert him and the "goose wl be cooked. " If _ Shaw Is nominated Dr. J. II. Smith ( Cedar Rapld will be his running mate ; i least It Is HO generally conceded. Judc Waterman , who has some powerful supper era here , will no doubt bo named for Judf of the supreme court , and Henry Sabln fc superintendent of public Instruction , It Sba and Smith are named. The Temple amendment Is a very muc talked subject and It Is generally concede that it Is going to cause conslderab trouble in the committee on resolution There arc three distinct views touching th matter and each Is being actively urge First , there are those who want nothln whatever said about the Temple amendmcn no reference to it cither directly or ind rcctly. Then there arc those who demar that the Temple amendment bp endorse specifically. The third class do not ask thi tun amendment bo endorsed specifically , bi they demand that the principle underlying lie endorsed. H is probable that the latt class will win the day.

The wheat mar ket developed pronounced activity and strength today , breaking the best previous price for the eeaion by 14 cents a bushel. All day the market wag In a nervous , er ratic condition , with a range of about 2 ct-nts a bushel. Shorts were completely de moralized by the scarcity of offerings and abundance ot hull ncw , and thtlr excited efforts to even up was one of the features of the day. At times realizing sales reached proportions sufficiently large to break prices sharply , but the market's In herent buoyancy caused a prompt rally on each occasion nnd the close wcs very firm , although unsettled , at from 2 % to 2H cents net advance. Foreign houero added to the general bull feeling on 'change. They bought In all about fifty loads , of which sixteen loads of guaranteed No. 2 red wcra for France. On the top of this demand was a strong set of English cables and a dccrciso of 1,426,000 bushels In the English visible supply. Opening Paris cables came higher , but a half holiday prevented any later news being received. Many traders connected the French demand today with the icportcd lowering of duty In that country. Today September wheat opened at 91U ccnU > , against 89U cents on Saturday , ad vanced 2i cents nnd closed at 91 % cents. Transactions were the heaviest In many days , teaching 11,655,000 bushels. Cash wheat was quoted at from U5 % to yO',4 cents for No. 2 led , according to delivery , o. b. afloat. The total stock of wheat i New York Is 760,093 bushels , of which bout 285,000 bushels Is contract.

( Copyright , 1S37 , by I'trs * Publlililng Compnny. ) SAN SEBASTIAN , Aug. 14. ( by way of Bajonnc. France , Aug. 16. ) ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) ( De layed In Transmission. ) General Blanco had an audience with the queen before he left San Sebastian for the baths at Bcttllu , In this province , and promised to return here within a week to confer with General Azcar- raga , the premier ad Interim. General Blanco , who seemed to be In excellent health nnd eplrlts , told the queen that his serv- les were at the disposal of the government ; that ho was ready to be Kent to Cuba or anywhere else. Though he was reserved In speaking of Cuba , he believes that the pres ent state of affairs In that colony and In Spain warrants a new line ot policy , a change of the military and political systems In Cuba , with a view to making homo rule and the autonomist party the principal fac tors In pacification and the complete re establishing of Spanish rule. He manifests no animus against the United States. On the contrary he considers that a wise , con ciliatory policy In Cuba would Insure the neutrality. It not the support , of the United Stales. The queen was much Impressed on hearing the general's views. WOODFORD WILL WAIT. "Minister Taylor heard yesterday from Gen eral Woodford , the now United States mln- loterhose Intention wae to reach San Sebastian August 21 , but now ho will post pone hh arrival until September 1. He may present Ma credentials hero If ho likes , but the American legation has been ofilclatly In formed that he cannot be received here with as much state as In Madrid , and must be content with an unostentatious audience , similar to those recently given to the Jap anese envoy extraordinary and the British ambassador , who were the bearers ot thei Victorian Order to the little king. It was deemed advisable that the American min ister should defer his arrival , as It seems probable that the queen cither will recon- , etruct the cabinet shortly , with General Azcarraga and Senor Pldal , the president of the Chamber of Deputies , as the principal leaders of a conservative coalition govern ment , or will summon Senor Sagasta to or ganize a liberal ministry , with Marshal Campcs to succeed General Weyler In Cuba , with a view to making an understanding- easier with- the Cubans and the United States. Even If the conservatives remain In office , the general Impresslcn In court and diplomatic circles Is that General Weyler will be superseded by General Campcs , or somebody else. The duke of Tetuan told several foreign ambassadors yesterday that he considered the present cabinet merely provlslonary. He believes political changes are Imminent The Spanish court and the principal statesmen. Including the leading West In dian senators .Tiul deputies , think the death of Canovas will not affect the relations be tween Spain and the United States. On the contrary , they believe any probable suc cessor , whether liberal or conservative , can afford to reverse the policy of the last twc years better than the eminent and regretted conservative chief , whose proud , unbending spirit would not submit to the conciliation and compromise which most Spaniards now deem advisable and Inevitable. WARRIORS FAVOR AZCARUAQA. All the leading generals advocate the selecting of General Azcarraga as the leadoi of the conservative party , and the chief ol the cabinet In come sort of national char acter , to Bolve the colonial problems and the relations with America , with the tacit sup port of all the dynastic and opposition far- tics and the neutrality of the Carlisle anil republicans on patriotic grounds. The council of ministers has gravely re solved to take no notice of the activity am Intrigues of Romero Robledo , and to slmplj accede to the queen's wishes for Azcarrag : to icsume permanent direction of the gov eminent and party. They will be helped bj the orders Senor Sllvela hao given to thi dissentient conservatives and ot Senor Sa gasta to the liberals to abstain from dem castrations , speeches and even declaration ! likely to Increase the difficulties of the sit nation and to wait calmly until couservatlvi divisions and , the logic of events evolve semi solution. SHERMAN'S UTTERANCES. Senor Castellar and several other leadlni statesmen , both liberal and conservative have been questioned concerning certah declarations recently attributed to Secre tary Sherman , and they assert that they di not attach any Importance to them even 1 true , because all Spanish politicians and th government always draw the line betweei the opinions and the utterances of Secretar ; Sherman and President McKlnley. They ar firmly convinced that the statesmanship foresight and spirit of Justice of the presl dent would easily overrule the prejudices o the secretary of state , even If the tradltlom of the latter's office did not oblige Mr. Sber man to understand the expediency of ab staining from compromising expressions o opinion , formerly compatible with the Inde pendent petition of a member ot the ecu ate , but not with that of a minister of th great republic. This crisis will receive Its solution In Sai Sebastian after they all confer with thi queen. According to an ancient polltica custom of Spain no alteration In tbo cablnc is etiquette before nine days elapse aftc the death of Canovas. Signs ot division al ready are visible In the ranks of the con servatlve party. Romero Hoblcdo , backci by the protectionists at home and the Cubai reactionary party , objects to the ideas o General Azcarraga. General Azcarraga am the duke of Tetuan want to take advantage of the excellent deposition of the opposition to reorganize the party and to elbow Homer out. Should Romero , with his turbulcn spirit , make mischief , ho simply will haste : the advent ot the liberals Into office , a solu lion which would be equally well received b ; the nation as the best means to pave th way to a settlement of the Cuban questloi and the relations with the United States , Considerable satisfaction has been causei In court and official circles by the news tha General Woodford , the new United State minister , has postponed his arrival until th end of August and will not present his ere dentlals until the first week in Septcmbei This will give the queen regent ample tlm to settle the domestic politics of Spain an the ministerial crisis , with General Azcat raga as the new premier and probabl leader of the conservative party , who wll reach San Sebastian Thursday.

When Annie disap peared from her homo Saturday he made up his nilnd that she had gone away with [ 'Ictcher. Ho made Inquiries and learned : hat the young man had gone to a nearby : own and purchased two tickets for Salt Liiko City. Mr. Robinson purchased a ticket for the same town , but at a venture for the couple had such a start he feared he would not catch them. As It turned out , however , ho had taken the next train after the elopers. They arrived hero at 7 this morning nnd 10 arrived at 7:30. : Ho decided he would cat some breakfast before communicating with the police , for he had done this In every city In which the train made a lengthy stop , and ho entered the lunch room. There ho wao thunderstruck with surprise and pleas ure. His daughter and Fletcher were sitting at ono of the tables enjoying their morning mealMr. . Robinson made a rush for them and caught Mr. Fletcher by the collar. The latter , however , Is n wiry young man and : io twisted loose and dashed out of the Seventeenth street entrance. Fearing to lose Annie , Mr. Robinson let him go. The girl was In tears and her father , In order ; o avoid a scene , led her to the American house and talked to her. She said Fletcher Intended to marry her In Salt Lake City and then they were to go on to San Fran cisco , where he expected to secure employ ment. The girl was penitent and expressed icr willingness to accompany her father back home. They left on this afternoon's train. As there is no complaint against Fletcher ho is free to go west if he likes , but If he returns to Omaha Mr. Robinson promises to make trouble for him. 1 PIXD A FIFTH WIKI3 FOR REYNOLDS , M mlinl Cuiup of ( Jrccley , Colo. \VniitH tlic Prisoner.
