SPECIAL CONFERENCE FAVORED

At which the Question of Private
Property at sea in Time of War
WIN Be Dealt with-Secretary Hay
Gratifed.
The Hague, July 6.-The American
delegates scored a great success yes
terday in obtaining from the peace con-
ference a unanimous vote in favor OF
having the question of private proper
ty at sea in time of war dealt with al
a special conference to be summoned
hereafter. Much diplomatic manage
ment was necessary, and many oDsta-
cIes had to be surmounted before this
result was reached. The resolution
was carried without opposition, but
with reservations on the part OF Great
Britain. France and Russia
Washington, July 6.-The news from
The Hague announcing the vote OF
the peace conference in favor OF hold
ing a special conference hereafter TO
discuss the question of the freedom
from seizure of private property at sea
in time of war is a source of genuine
satisfaction to the administration. Inc
American delegates had more interest,"
in this question, perhaps, than IN any
other before the conference.
There have been times during ses-
sions of the peace conference at which
it appeared that this subject would be
passed over without favorable action
and the officials had almost given uI
hope of anything in that direction be-
ing accomplished Secretary Hay was
shown a copy of the dispatch lasi
night. He regarded it as a substantial
victory for the advanced position the
American government has taken OF
this matter The question OF the
freedom from seizure of private prop
erty at sea, belonging to the subjects
of the belligerent nations, the secre-
tary said. was not in the list of sub
jects enumerated in the cars call fol
the conference, but it was embodied IN
the instructions given to the American
delegates The subject, the secretary
said, is one in which the American
government has always taken the
greatest interest and most decided
stand ever since the foundation OF the
government. The United States re
fused to sign the convention at Pari;
back in the fifties because the articles
agreed upon did not contain declara
ton exempting from capture the pri
Yate property at sea belonging to tht
subjects of the belligerent nations, and
in the presidents last message to con
gress he urged that provision be made
for calling conference of the powers
of the world to consider the question
Bills were introduced in both house:
having this object in view, but nc
final action was taken on them.
