W. lead of The Copyright Bill Under Discussion in the Senate, LIVELY DEBATE ON THE MEASURE. The Civil Service Commission Re- ferred to in the House. MR. BUTTERWORTH’S CHARGES SENATE. The consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was reported, with amendments, and placed on the calendar, Mr. Hale giving notice that he would ask for its consideration to- morrow. Mr. Jones (Ark.) offered a resolution (which was to) calling on the Secretary of the Rede caret eenertce tions in connection with thé Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. WANT TO SIT DURING THE RECESS. Mr. Jones (Nev.),from the committee on contingent expenses, reported » resolution (which was agreed to) authorizing the com- mittee on naval affairs to sit during the coming recess for the purpose of considering various bills before 1t in relation to the personnel of the navy; of investigating the condition of vessels of the naval fleet; of visiting navy yards and stations, so as to devise and recommend plans for the improvement of the methods of work therein and for greater economy; the com- mittee to act asa whole or by subcommittees, and to have power to loy stenographers and take testimony. Mr. Jones also reported a resolution author- izing the select committee on relations with Canada to continue its investigations during the recess. MB. PLUMB WANTS 4 MAP FURNISHED. Mr. Plumb remarked that he had met that committee last fall in California and had felt inclined, at that time, to furnish it with a map, 80 as to let the committee know where Canada was. (Laughter.] He hoped that now the com- mittee would go to the Cauadian border and find out what was considered of such great im- portance and what was scarched for so long-— the relations of the Dominion of Canada to United States. Mr. Hale expressed his regret that the chair- man of that committee (Mr. Hoar) was not present to answer the Senator from Kansas in the same spisit in which that Senator bad made the remark. ‘The resolution was objected to and was placed on the calendar. ‘BILLS PASSED. ‘The following bills were taken from the cal- en.ar and passed. Senate bill to confirm certain entries made upon the Osage trast and diminished reserved nds, House bill for a public ay Richmond, 75, Ky.,"not to cost more than §' Tthe vote some days since postponing indefi- ter of the nitely the bill to amend the Georgetown and Tenleytown Railroad Com- pany was (on motion of Mr. Spooner) recon- sidered recommitted to the ittee for the District of Colambia. THE COPYRIGHT BILL RESUMED. The Senate resumed consideration of the copyright bill, the pending question being on Mr. Sherman's amendment to strike out the word “prohibited” and to insert the words “abject to the duties provided by law,” so that foreign editions of ‘&o., which are yrighted in the United States may be ad- itted to this country on payment of lar tariff duties. Mr. Platt (who hae charge of the bill) seid co) mi that the friends of ight would recognize the fact that the passage of the bil was im- perilled by the amendment already 2s wo Knd that further amendment to it would prok- bly defeat its passage at this session. sired very greatly to obtain the passage of an international copyright bill; and, if there was no other reason why he should resist amend- ments, he thought that he should be fully jus- tified, considering the importance of the meas- ure and the almost impossibility of obtaining consideration for amendments in the House, to appeal to the Senate to pass the bill without further amendment. He op Sherman amendment be- canse, he said, the fundamental ides of copy- right was the ‘exclusive right to vend and the prohibition of importation from foreign coun- tries. ‘That was the only way in which a man's roperty in the work of his brain could be vin- Ricated. ‘He feared that « good deal of the contention arose from a lack of desire to pro- tect a man’s property in his own creations. Without the consent of the ec rietor of the conyright, books could not ported and aur. Allison remarked that copyright stood on the same principle as patents, an fuck of a patent right being owned in this country (as in the case of Bessemer steel) did not prevent the importation of er steel from other countries. Mr. Platt argued that full justice could not be done to an avthor unless he was allowed to sell’ in each country where the copyright law Drevailed—the right to supply that country. Mr. Morrill expressed opinion that the adoption of Mr. Sherman's amendment would transfer the business of book printing entirely to Germany, where printers were not paid half a» much at they were paid in the United Btates. Mr. failed it would be —- such a shock to the moral sentiment of the thought- ful people of the country as it had not received for « good ‘There was no reason why the works of Huxley, Darwin, Tennyson, or of German or French authors should be pirated in this country; or the works of Bancroft, Lo or Longfeliow should be in France or Germany. aud what he the matter the broud lines of right and were the bill would He fc that the without the consent of the owner. AGAINST THE LITHOGRAPHIC AMENDMENT. Referring to Mr. Frye’s amendment as to lithographs, musical compositions, &c., Mt. F tee date | H Fe2 | | aiE ree : if i iit & s : & copyright as it existed in all countries except the United States. They all probibited im- portation of copyrighted ‘books without the consent of the owner of the copyright. The importation of the Tanchnitz edition of English works (printed in Germany in English type) was prevented in England, aud it was 80 in the case of every book copyrighted in Eng- land. This wus therefore not a new princi gf copyright law, but was the very essence of MM. DANTEL’s INQUIRY. Mr. Daniel asked Mr. Platt whether, if foreign authors who obtained copyright were required to have their works published simultaneously here and in their own country, the same prin- ciple would apply to America authors taking out copyright abroad and would compel them to have their works published simultaneously there and in the United States. Mr. Platt rey that would depend upon how literally countries might follow the provisions of the pending bill in order toestab- ish reciprocity in the matter. Mr. Daniel remarked that if that were so it would be subjecting American authors to the necessity of publishing their works abroad in order to get to the foreign market, and he asked whether that wonld not be curtailing the privileges which American authors now had. ‘MR. DANTEL'S CRITICISM. Mr. Daniel criticised the bill at much length, particularly that provision which requires a foreign author having copyright in the United States to publish his work simultaneously in the foreign country and this country and which subjects authors to re- ciprocal arrangement. If the bill, he said, could not be perfected at the present session by reason of ‘the short time allowed for ite dis- cussion, the discussion would nevertheles be an enlightening one and there was no reason why the bill should not be passed next session. HOUSE. On motion of Mr. McMillan (Tenn.) Senate amendment was non-concurred in to the House bill to establish the customs district of Ten- nesses. On motion of Mr. Farquhar Senate amend- ment was concurred in to House bill amend- ing the statute as to the marking of the names of vessels on the bow and stern. The Senate amendment provides for the marking of the draught of registered vessels on the stem and stern posts. On motion = Mr Heard Qo.) Led a ence report on incorporat e - ington and Arlington Railroad’ Company ‘was agreed to. TRE LEGISLATIVE BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Payson (Ill) in the chair, on the legislative appropriation bill. THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION AGArX. Mr. McComas (Md.} offered an amendment appropriating for the clerical force in the civil appropriation act. ir. Grosvenor (Ohio) raised a point of order against the amendment. ‘After a brief debate the point of order was ———, by — ‘ . ir. Butterwe appealed from the decision. ‘The decision was sustained —109 to 36. Mr. Cannon then moved an amendment pro- viding fora secretary and a stenographer at $1,600 each. This, he said, would comply with the terms of the organic law, Mr. Butterworth said that his friend from Il- vegu- | th linois (Mr. Cennon) knew that these pointe of order were intended to strangle the civil serv- [ice commission. He knew perfectly well that ‘the appropriation bill was reducing the force of the commission one-fourth. Mr. Grosvenor—It has not reduced it a man. MR. BUTTERWORTH'S CHARGES... Mr. Butterworth (continuing) said that the gentleman from Llinois (Mr. Cannon) had in the last House moved to increase the force under the commissioners with regard to having the work done. rly. This was cose of hypocritical tansqi eating, or else e other «was, [Laughter aud ap- plausc.] To adopt the amendment was a mockery. It was like giving an empty plate to astarving man. {Laughter.) A year ago the gentleman, recognizing the fact that unless there was an increase of force in the commis- sion the service must be paralyzed, had himself made the motion, and now, under the pretense of observing the rules of the House, be struck down the civil service commission. When the commission asked for fish, it was given a ser- pent: when it asked for bread, it was given a stone. ‘This appropriation was worse than a mockery; it was a hypocritical pretense of | re- sponding to the promises of the republican party. eee THE NEXT CAMPAIGN, Senator Faulkner Gives His Views on the Igeues and Candidates. “There will be two grest issues in the next presidential campaign,” said Senator Faulkner toa Sram reporter this.afternoon. “We shall continue to discuss the tgriff question, and the country will be called upon to settle this debate on the matter of silver. The mere fact that this Congress bas enacted the ideas of the congressional and monopolistic majority into Jaw does not tie the hands or silence the tongues of those who believe that duties should be reduced.

Sherman's condition wasgreatly improved this morning. He pawed s quict night and there was no repetition of those sinking spells which have so often drawn the members of the family about his bedside and made that the end was near. The last bad at an early hour in the evening. morning Mr. Barrett came to the Sherman residence and said that was sleeping quietly; that no nourishment been given him for several hours, but he not seem to be any worse in consequence. 7 o'clock this morning one of the servants came to the door and arnounced that Gen.
