A SUBSTANTIAL VICTORY.
Secretary Hays View Of the Action
of the Conference.

Secretary Hays View Of the Action
of the Conference.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-The news from
The Hague announcing the unanimous vote
of the peace conference in favor Of holding
a special conference hereafter to discuss the
freedom from seizure Of private property at
sea in time of war Is a source of genuine
satisfaction to the administration. The
American delegates had more interest in
this question, perhaps. than any other be-
fore the conference. There have been times
during sessions of the peace conference at
which 1t appeared this subject would be
passed over without favorable action, and
the officials had almost given up hope of
anything in that direction being accom-
plished. Secretary Hay was shown a copy
of the dispatch tonight He regarded it as
a substantial victory for the advanced po-
stion the American government had taken
on this matter. as the news indicated the
conference had accepted the principle en-
braced in the proposition. The question of
the freedom from seizure Of private prop
was embodied in the instructions to the
belligerent nations, the secretary said, was
not in the list of subjects enumerated in
the Cars call for the conference, but it
was embodied in the instructions of the
American delegates. The subject, the Sec
rotary said. is one in which this govern
ment has always taken the greatest inter-
est and most decided stand ever since the
foundation of the government. The United
States refused to sign the convention at
Paris back in the fifties because the articles
agreed upon did not contain clause ex-
empting from capture the private property
at sea belonging TO the subjects of the bel
ligerent nations. In the Presidents last
message to Congress he urged that provi-
sion be made for calling conference of the
powers of the world to consider the ques-
ton. Bills were introduced in both houses
having this object In view, but no final ac-
ton was taken on them.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-President Nc
Kinley to-day appointed William III. Hoey.
OF Muncie, Ind. collector OF customs for
Arizona, with headquarters at Nogales.
This position pays S,0oo a year and fees,
and besides this there Is some little patron
age connected with it. Mr.. Hoey was in
dorsed by Representative Cromer, but. in
reality, he owes his appointment to the per-
sonal effort OF First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath, and the fact that Hoey
received the place may be said to have
been due almost entirely to Heath, the
President making the nomination as a per-
sonal favor to the first assistant postmaster
general. Mr.. Hoey is at present foreman
of the Midland Steel Company at Muncie,
and Is one of the leaders of organized labor
IN that portion OF the Hoosier State. He
and Alfred Mecham, Of Muncie, recently
appointed a special agent OF the internal
revenue bureau. were close political asso-
ciates and were connected in labor move
ments. The vacancy to which Mr.. Hoey
was to-day appointed was caused by the
forced retirement OF III. K. Chenowith. who
was removed on charges preferred by the
Civil-service Commission. IT is alleged that
Chenowith secured civil service examina-
ton questions surreptitiously and drilled
tons reached the examiners and were pro-
pounded. Among those who benefited by
the advance information relative to the
questions to be asked were Mrs. Chenowith,
wife of the collector, and Mrs. Aguire, wife
OF the deputy collector. both OF whom took
the examinations and successfully passed
the same, they having had the questions
answered for them in advance by a compe-
tent scholar. There were others more or
less related to the collector who benefited
by having advance information as to the
nature of the questions to be asked
