THE HAGUE. July G.-The American
delegates scored great success in OBJ
tanning from the peace conference a
unanimous vote in favor of having the
question OF private property at sea in
time OF war dealt with at special con.
ference to be summoned hereafter.
Much diplomatic management was
necessary, and many obstacles 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 unanimous
vote of the peace conference in favor of
holding 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. The
American delegates had more interest
in this question perhaps than any other
before the conference.

MADAME OREYFUS WEPT.


Much Distressed After Visit to Her
Huiband.
RENNEs, France, July 6.-Madame
Dreyfus, Matthew Dreyfus, his brother,
and Maitre Labor, his counsel, visited
Captain Dreyfus. Trouble was ex-
pected to occur on the national fete day
when a review Of the garrison will be
held. The anti. ti.Dreyfusites, 1t was
feared, would attempt to draw the
troops into demonstration.
Madame Dreyfus, accompanied by
her parents, drove to the prison in a
carriage. Her parents were not admit.
ted, but she remained with her husband
All hour. On leaving she showed, for
tine first tune, signs of distress. Her
eyes were swollen and red, as though
she had been weeping bitterly. She was
in deep mourning, and, it was said, was
determined to remain so until her hus-
band regained his liberty.

DREYFUS Is GRATEFUL, ,
Especially Moved at what Plcquart Suf-
fevol FOR Him-His Brother
visited Him.

RENNES, France, July 5.-The inhabi-
tants generally continued almost indif-
ferent to the presence of Dreyfus.
Barely half a dozen persons witnessed
the visits OF counsel and Madame Drey-
fus TO the prison. The town, however,
was full of detectives, who sCrutiniZed
all strangers, and a few gendarmes pa
trolled before the residence of Madame
Dreyfus. They approached and watched
everyone stopping before the gate lead
ing to the courtyard of the mansion.
Matthew Dreyfus paid his first visit
to his brother, the interview lasting
about half an hour. The brothers threw
themselves into each others arms. Mat.
thew said he found his brother aged
and broken in health, but not the phys
iCal wreck he feared. In spite of his
sutferings, Dreyfus' eyes was seemingly
as bright and his mind as clear and his
Intelligence as keen as when he was oc-
Cupied with his duties on the general
staff. He was troubled with insomnia
during the voyage, but has now recov-
cred and Monday night he had a re-
freshing sleep. The prisoner was suf-
fering from dysentery, but it was slight
and there was every reason to believe he
would rapidly reCuperate.
Matthew found his brother in good
spirits and buoyed up by the necessity
of mastering all his strength for the
coming ordeal and by the nope that at
least he would have justice done him.
He was extremely reserved as to his life
on Devil island, which had left an in
delible impression and remains i'll his
| memory as a horrible nightmare.
He declared his brain was almost reel
| ing i'll the face of the mass of documents
and explanations Maltres Demange and
Labor were bringing out regarding the
| extraordinary Vaccinations of his ene-
mics and the persevering devotion Of
his friends. Dreyfus was astounded
and grateful for their self sacrifice. This
feeling was particularly strong as re-
CARDS Colonel Picquart, whom he hardly
remembered, and the story Of whose
persecution had profoundly moved him.
Captain Dreyfus was unable to talk
freely with his brother, owing to the
presence of the officer, who was under
instructions to be present at all inter-
views between the prisoner and MEM
bers of his family. This arrangement
was terrible trial for Madame Dreyfus
and the rest.
Only Maitres De Manage and Labori
were allowed to see Dreytus privately.
