WASHINGTON AGAIN HOPEFUL.
Direct Communication With Minister
COnger Expected Soon.


Conger Expected Soon.
Washington, July 30-The effect OF
the days news from China was to fresh
en- the hope that the government can
soon get in direct communication with
Minister Conger. The mass OF testimo-
ny as to his being alive as late as the
22d instant is now so great as to war
rant the department in resuming the
consideration of projects for the future
With all it's anxiety to get Mr.. Conger
and the Americans in Pekin safely
away, the department is proceeding
with proper caution and is by no means
disposed to accept any proposition that
would unduly jeopardize their lives
Such might be the result of an off hand
proposition to have the Chinese gov
ernment deliver the foreign minister at
Tien Tsin for it Is realized that the
escort might be over-powered by super
ior forces of Boxers on the way to the
sea. The state department has come to
the conclusion that Mr.. Conger is the
best person to Judge of the conditions
under which his deliverance shall be
effected and therefore, it is again look
ing to the Chinese government to place
1t in communication with Mr. Conger
in order that it may be advised by him.
That requirement was the first of the
conditions laid down by President Nc
Kinley in his answer to the appeal of
the Chinese emperor, SO that the situa-
tion automatically cannot be said to
have been materially changed by the
developments of to-day.
The state department was inclined to
regard Consul Fowler's communicate
(printed elsewhere in this paper) as the
most valuable piece of conf1rmatory evil
dence yet received touching the safety
of the Pekin diplomats. Up to a late
hour no answer had been received to the
second Conger message, but in view of
Consul Fowler'S news the officials were
inclined to look forward to an early re-
ply.
1t is known here that Germany is one
of the governments which is putting
forth every effort to get into direct COM
munication with the ministers, and like
the United States has had recourse to
the underground route. An object
of special solictude is to discover
whether Baroness Won Ketteler has es-
cape or whether she shared the fate of
ner husband. UP TO the present nothing
has been received to throw any light on
the subject.
The German ambassador and the
French charge called at the state de-
partment to-day to secure the latest
information which Secretary Hay had
received and both We're immensely
pleased with the Fowler dispatch Gen
eral Chaffee reported to-day his arrival
at Taku in advance of the expected
time.

ly an adjournment was taken then. He
was requested to be present at last
nights meeting, but members of the

did rot .hink that he was In the city,
although one member said that he saw
Mr.. Ross on the street yesterday The
members expressed much surprise that
he was not present last night, after the
special request that he should be pres
ent and present his accounts for approv-
al.
1t was voted to declare the position of
treasurer of the committee vacant, and
then Alderman c. G. Unger was elected
treasurer to fill the vacancy. Chairman

mittee 70 wait upon Mr.. Ross and de-
mand from him the unexpended balance
of the Fourth of July fund and an ac
count Of his expenditures as treasurer.
The total amount of the money unex-
pended Is said to be about 1928.
It was reported at last nights meet
ing that bill Of $50 for the firing of sa-
lutes onethe Fourth Of July, previously
reported as having been paid, was not
paid until last Saturday After the bill
was reported paid a bill was presented
for the amount and a member of the
committee stated that he had paid it
with money given him by Mr.. Ross The
amount, 1925, is said to be
exclusive Of this $50. What further
action, if any, would be taken in the
matter none Of the members of the
committee would say last night.

4 REM 4 RK1BLE STORY.
Brcsst Took UP Burden of Another Man
in Killing Humbert'


New York, July 30.-Angelo Bress
lived in Paterson for over year. HI
appeared to have had various names
of which the one he gave last nigh
when taken into custody for the mur
der of the King of Italy was one. An
other was Angelus Bressi, and still an
other, the one by which he will b.
known to those who knew him in Pat
erson. was Saetano Bressi. He was EN-
ployed in Ilamil & Booths silk mills
His close friend there was Carbon
Sperangio, the man who few weeks
ago shot down his foreman and ther
killed himself, leaving behind letter
telling how he had been selected by lot
to kill King Humbert, but living sc
far away from Italy, he had a choice
and he killed the foreman instead. A
few months aco a man, said to be

ian anarchists. was in Paterson and
| during his stay Sperangio and Bress
were his companions, and they showed
him about the city and introduced him
to others in the city and who were his
mentors there. 1t would seem that his
friend, having faltered at Regicide,
Bressi took up his burden where Sper-
anglo refused it and crossed the ocean
to carry out the decree that Humbert
should die.
In manner Bressi was quiet His
home was in Hoboken, where his wife
and little girl live. He never brought
them to Paterson. He remained away
until Monday morning. He roomed at

the anarchist section He was tail and
dark, and had STOPPING shoulders. To
some it was known that his radical
ideas We're extreme and that he was of
the inner circles of the anarchists
William j. Orr, foreman of the silk
MILL said to-day that had Bressi asked
him for a letter recommending him to
silk manufacturers he would have writ
ten him a strong one. He was a good
workman on broad goods, he said, and
never raised any trouble.
At the boarding house it was the
same story, He came and went regu-
larly, and never gave any trouble, 9th
ers say they never knew him to appear
to have confidence in himself but for

happy. He was, however second to the
man who afterwards. according to his
own confession, baked at killing a king
and choose a shop foreman instead
Bressi entered the employ Of Booth &
Hammil on April s, 1900 He worked
steadily there until May a, 1900. On
that day he left the mill and was in
Paterson but seldom afterward. On
May 90 last he sailed on the French line
steamship Havre for Europe. Where
he spent the intervening time is not
