Washington, d. c., Jan. Is. 80 Uneas-
mess, if not a trace of CONSERVATION
has entered the ranks of the German
forces, as the result of the proportion
assumed recently by the boom of Will
liam R. Hearst for the presidential

chances for securing the nomination
at the coming national democratic con-
svention are growing brighter every
day.
Mr.. Hearst has opened headquarters
here, and they are thronged night and

of the country, and especially from
New York and the south.
Leaders Swarm About Headquarters.
Democratic senator's, representa-

said that Mr.. Hay thinks Minister
Conger is dilatory and Indifferent to
the prosecution of his official duties,
grows very impatient because he
thinks that Mr.. Conger; does not push
things as he should
Minister Conger is by no means the
first one in the United States foreign
service to feel the sting of Mr.. Hays S
imperiousness and impatience. Only
recently Minister Mccormick at ST.
Petersburg, has come in for large
share of Mr.. Hays disapproval and
the secretary of state talked openly of
his feeling that the minister to Rus
sia was not handling matters as he
should There seems to be no doubt
that Mr.. Hay, who is quick in his likes
or dislikes, has conceived an unfriend-
ly feeling for Minister Conger and is
therefore inclined to call him more
sharply to account than other mem
bers of the diplomatic service. Mr..
Conger, however, because of all that
he went through at the time of the
Boxer trouble in China, and his gal
liant action at that time has a standing
in the diplomatic service that cannot
be materially affected by Mr.. Hays
personal dislike and the attitude he
consequently maintains toward the
minister.
This is not the first time the rela-
tions between Minister Conger and
the state department have been strain
ed. Shortly after. the boxer trouble
there was a, serious complication re-
sulting from the alleged misunder-
standing by Mr.. Conger of an officia
| dispatch outlining the United States
by the state department but the mat.
ter was never given much publicity.
