FEELING BETTER AT WASHINGTON
News Freshens the Hope That We Can

News Freshens the Hope That We Can
Soon Hear Direct from Conger.
Washington, July 31.-The effect of
Yesterdays news from China was to
freshen the hope that the government
can soon get in direct communication
with Minister Conger. The mass of
testimony as to his being alive as late
as the 22d inst. is now SO great as to
warrant the department in resuming
the consideration Of projects for the
future. With all of it's anxiety to get
COnger and the Americans in Picking
safely away the department is pro-
ceeding with caution, and is by no
means disposed to accept any PROPOSE
ton that would unduly jeopardize their
lives. Such might be the result of an
Off-hand acceptance of the proposition
to have the Chinese government de-
liver the foreign ministers at Tien-
Isin, for it is realized that the escort
might be OverpOWered by superior
forces Of Boxers on the way to the
sea.
The state department has come to
the conclusion that Conger himself is
the best person to judge Of the condi-
LlOnS unuor WHICH HIS uoIlN0fanco snail
be effected, and it is again looking to
the Chinese government to place it in
communication with Conger in order
that it may be advised by him. That
requirement was the first Of the con-
ditions laid down by President McKin-
ley in his answer to the appeal Of the
Chinese emperor, so that the situation
automatically cannot be said to have
been materially changed Ivy the latest
developments.
It is known here that Germany is
one of the governments which is put-
ting forth every effort to get into di-
rect communication with the be-
leaguered ministers, and like the Unit
ed States has had recourse to the ''un-
derground' route. An object of spe
cial sOlicitude is to discover whether
Baroness Won Ketteler has escaped, or
whether she shared the fate of her
husband. Up to the present nothing
has been received to throw any light
on the subject
