4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON ¥. ‘more than all the other papers published in ‘Washington. Pr Pen Sta AO ae ee The international copyright law in force in this country is not in force as to any country whose copyright laws do not grant copyright to Americans on the same footing as their own subjects or citizens. The near sppronch of July 1, the date for our act to take effect by excites some interest in London. tp has been raised as to whether En- law of copyright requires that an Ameri- ro eons mega preteens lication in order to take outs copyright The best opinion appears to be that actual pani? not necessary. Sir Frederick Pol- lock and Lord Monkswell, author of the British copyright bill, incline to this view. The latter at first thought that the English Iaw was un- certain and should be amended before July 1, but now urges the contrary, and says that there is no instance in which copyright has been deemed or held invalid for want of residence. Tt ought to be added that this second deliver- ‘ance of the author of the copyright bill was after he had raised a storm about his head by his first. The British author is even now anxiously awaiting the President's action. It would seem to be wiser on the part of the British parliament to pass a supplemental act clearly stating the provisions of the measure #0 as to enable the British author to take ad- vantage of the American law. As the matter stands it is left to the President of the United States to construe British law. The Monkswell bill, which has been read a second time in the house of lords, is a simplification of the eigh- teen British acts on the subject of copyright. a ‘An English poet once made some alliterative Hines about Belgrade, the capital of Servia. He would have to put in something about surging students if he were living and were to revise his poem. Some students have created a revo- Iution there by setting at nanght the determi- nation of the regents to banish ex-Queen Natalie. The students seized the carriage and carried the late queen back to her palace in triumph. Afterward a bloody encounter be- tween the soldiers and the students occurred. ‘ The “LUCCA FRENCH” sizes. It is likely that further trouble will ensue, as F. oce a4 ae the monarchy is rent with faction. The party im power is pro-Austrinn, and the ex-queen is afriend of Russia. If Russia had that rifle changed and that bank account fixed this might be the beginning of a bloody eastern war which might involve four or five of the great and a number of small powers.

Its effects are not yet fally ascertained, but enough is known to cause some apprehensions respecting the wheat as well asfruitand vegetable crops. Information is necessarily indefinite, and as full returnsof con- dition are not in it is best not to draw con- clusions hastily respecting the outcome, for favoring conditious later may make good what seems lost now. But reports from West Vir- ginia, Indiana and Illinois represent that great damage was done by the last frost and ice to qgnall fruits and vegetables, and the fruit trees in parts of New England were Rain wheat. + . The convention now in session in Cincinnati suggests the possibility of a composite national ticket with Jerry Simpson of Kansns for first place and T. V. Powderly of Pennsylvania for second, and such a ticket is in no wise to be treated with disrespect by either of the domi- nant parties.
