Washington July 24.-The State Department
relies implicitly on Minister Wu's assurance that
an indisputabIe message from Minister Conger
will be secured this week. clearing the whole
Chinese situation. It will be in reply TO a ques-
ton which must set at rest all doubt as TO the
safety of the legations and the sincerity OF China
and 1t is confidently expected to justify Secre-
tary Hay in his Interpretation OF last Fridays
response to his query of July IL. Much of the
scepticism regarding that reply is thought to he
attributable to the fact that its Importance has
been unwarrantably maguified. Minister Con-
gers brevity, and the very words he uses in the
message. which have been cited as indications
that it is spurious, contribute materially TO
strengthen the view that, within it's limitations
as designedly fixed by Secretary Hay on July H.
Il fulfils its purpose as official communication
though falling far short of the popular demand
for comprehensive view of the situation in
Picking. 1t is a mistake 10 suppose that this
Government expected any more from Minister
