But the Wyoming cattlemen, like their kind everywhere, made no study of the means of keeping their ranges fertile and now they are prac- ticaily barren.

ORD ROSEBERY Edinburgh undertook in a recent address at to say something of nd encouragement concerning the war ca. He admitted that things are going 1d prospects are not bright; “but,” said that in the progress of a war or a con- with considerable eventualities b in So |t cheer h Af lly there ie, “we kn siderable campaign | think it is in the nature of Britons to take much this kind. ! tomed to them; we have had many of notice of things of them, and | we have got to see this thing through. It may cost us more battalions than we have lost, it may cost the | lives of more officers and men, and will cost us more than we have already lost; it may cost us millions we do not dream of. But there is, one thing certain— | we mean to see this thing through.” | Rosebery was at least candid and few will ques- tion the accuracy of his statement Great Britain “hus “muddied” herself into the war and will doubt- | less muddle through it. All reports agree that the don nt clement of the people is determined to | establish British sovereignty in South Africa, no | matter what the cost may be. The famous jingo :C]mru& declares, “We have the ships, we have the men, we have the money, too.” Nothing is said in | the song about brains or genius. The whole senti- ment of the piece is a reliance upon money, men and ships, and a certain dogged confidence in an ability | to muddle through any quarrel that comes. Among the notable sayings of the Duke of Wel- lington is one to the effect that he never became ?dexpondent when he found he had committed a blunder and got his army into a bad position, because he could always rely upon his men to fight their way out. Many a British general and statesman has had reason to make a similar assertion. At this very time the Salisbury Ministry doubtless relies more | upon the mere brute fighting force of the empire to | overcome the di anything else. General White may be brave and Buller may be energetic, but after all the forces which will beat the Boers will be the bull strength and the bulldog tenacity of the nation. The menace to the British lay in the possibility the first fierce rush of the enemy. Had the Boers directed 21l their force to that end and contented themselves with merely watching the British garri- sons at Mafeking and Kimberley, while sending nearly their whole army "against Ladysmith, they might have won a victory that would have encour- Aaged the Dutch in every part of South Africa to rise an equal enemy or it may | cess and further personal honors | We are accus- | ilties in South Africa than upon | that General White's army might be overwhelmed in | land strike for freedom. It appears, however, | they underrated the British about as much as the | British underrated them, and undertook to capture the three cities at once. As the situation stands now | the advantage is with the British and is increasing on | that side every day. Buller may soon be able to re- Jlie\'e Ladysmith and then at his leisure prepare lqr | an advance upon Pretoria. He has the men and his | Government at home has the means of furnishing | more if he needs them. As Rosebery said, the war may cost many millions more than statesmen dream of, but of the end there can be little doubt. The British will muddle through it. OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS. _— ROM the annual report of Mr. Chamberlain, FCommissioner of Navigation, it appears that there has been a striking contrast between the | progress made in the development of our coast trade |and inland water shipping and the lack of progress {in the upbuilding of our merchant marine engaged in foreign trade. For the one class of shipping there | has been protection, and as a result it has prospersd | as other industries during the past year, but our ocean | vessels have been left to compete unaided against the | subsidized foreign vessels and as a consequence our | ocean trade is in the hands of the foreigner. According to the report the tonnage operating !und:r our coasting laws, 21,397 vessels of 4,015,992 | gross tons, is the largest in our history and greater |than the coasting tonnage of any other nation. Our | steam tonnage, 2,476,011 tons, for the first time ex- | | ceeds the tonnage of all other crait. In the rest of {the world steam tonnage eleven years ago exceeded | sail tonnage. Our tonnage registered for foreign | trade, however, remains small, and last year American | vessels carried a fraction less than 9 per cent of our | exports and imports, the smallest percentage in our | history. From the statistics cited it appears the world’s sea- going sail tonnage in the past quarter of a century has decreased from 14,185,836 tons to 8,603,760 tons, a decrease of 40 per cent. The decrease in the United :Smi(‘s has been at the average rate. The world’s sea- ;poing tonnage in the same period has increased from | 4.328.193 tons to 18,887,132 tons, or 366 per cent. The ‘phcnome(ml increases have been Norway's 1400 per | cent and Germany's nearly 700 per cent. The increase | of the United States has been only 68 per cent, and | the increase of American steam tonnage registered | for foreign trade on Atlantic and Gulf coasts has been only 38 per cent. The fact that the tonnage engaged in coasting | traffic is the largest in our history is a proof that | there is no lack of energy in American shipbuiiding, and the further fact that in substituting steam for sailing vessels we have kept pace with the rest of the | world is an evidence that our energy is not unenlight- lened. It is, thereiore, clear that our failure to ad- | vance as rapidly as other nations in the extension and }in crease of our ocean marine must be due to some- thing else than a lack of energy or industrial skill. | Nor do we have to look far to find the | The report shows that last year the leading nations of | Europe together with Japan expended over $26,000,- | 000 to promote their merchant shipping, while the United States expended only $008,211. As a result of the wisdom of European nations in | building up their shipping while we have neglected | ours the United States within the last twenty years have dropped from the second place next to Great | Britain to fourth position, below Germany and | France, and, if steamships in foreign trade alone ars considered, below Norway and Spain and only | slightly ahead of Japan. Can any stronger argument for a comprehensive shipping bill be made than is furnished by that show- ing? It is bad enough to know that of our foreign | trade less than 9 per cent is carried in our own ships, but it is worse to be reminded that our great republic on with its vast commerce, its frontage | mighty oceans of the globe, has a smaller ocean- | going steam tonnage than Norway or Spain and but | little more than Japan. Surely it is time to rouse up. | Legislation for the promotion of American shipping is a necessity of the time. —— COPYRIGHT IN REPORTING. ONSIDERABLE attention was given a few | Cmomhs ago to the decision by a British court | that Lord Rosebery had no right to republish ‘\mhout permission a report of a speech made by him ibut published and copyrighted by the London Times. ;h is, therefore, worth noting that the decision has | been reversed by the Court of Appeal. The end, | however, is not yet in sight, for the Times has ar- | ranged for an appeal to the House of Lords in the | expectation that the original decision will be up- held. 3 | The case is one of more than ordinary interest be- We put | we must look out for incidents of this kind. I do not |cause of the complexity of the questions involved |and the far-reaching effect which a decision either will have upon the whole copyright law. It will ! be remembered that Rosebery, when preparing for cases suggested. The West requires restora- | we generally muddie out right in the end. But, what- | publication a volume of his speeches and addresses, f » but it also needs that such res- | ever happens, there can be no mistake about this— | included among them several which had been report- | ed and printed in the Times. The claim was made by | the Times that these reports were its own. Rosebery | had uttered the words, but he had not written them | out, revised them, cast them in literary form nor per- | formed any of the other work upon them which | fitted them for publication. Therefore it was argued | by the Times that Rosebery had no right to the | speeches as printed. They were the property of the | reporter who had written them down and sold them ilo the Times. That view of the case was taken by the Judge whose decision has just been reversed, and judgment was accordingly given against Rosebery. From the brief reports which have come to us it |appears that the ground on which the appeal was sustained was that the original decision reduced the | copyright law to an absurdity. It was pointed out 1thaz if sustained it would place every lecturer and | speaker in Great Britain wholly at the mercy of stenographers. A reporter would only have to write out a report of a speech or a sermon, copyright it and get it printed in some form, to have an exclusive property in it against the man who had spoken it. The Master of the Rolls is reported to have said | the plaintiff was asking the court “to turn the copy- | right law which was created for the benefit of authors into an act for the benefit of reporters.” When the | counsel for the Times said that he simply relied upon (the same argument as that which established copy- right in the judgments of courts, and reminded the | Master of the Rolls that it “would be a serious thing"” if there were no copyright in the judgments of the | law reports, the Judge rather gruffly said, “I do not |agree that the Times reporter is the author of my judgments!” | Thus the famous case stands at present. It will he {for the Lords to determine finally whether property in a speech belongs to the man who composes it and speaks it or to him who first puts it in written form :and publishes it. It is a contest between the author |and the reporter, with the publisher standing by to see from which he will have to snatch the bone after | the fight is over. reason. | the two | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1899.

In May, 1888, he was commissioned major general | of volunteers. TOO INDEFINITE—N. N, Santa Clara, Cal. The question, *“What is there to pre- vent the conflscation of property by an unprincipled majority?” is too Indefinite to admit of an answer. The correspond- ent should state facts, so as to enable one to determine what property and what un- pringipled majority is meant. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT—S8ub- scriber, City. When you receive an an- | nouncement of a wedding you should acknowledge the same in a letter of con- gratulation. If the announcement is in the form of an invitation to attend the wedding, then it would be in order for you to send a wedding present. MUSTERING PLACES—A. 8., City. There s no record in this city showing the mustering places of the United States volunteer regiments, First to Thirty- eighth. Such a list can be furnished by the War Department. That department can aleo furnish the dates of the depart- ure of the several regiments. ALBUQUERQUE—W. C.,, City. R. M. Hardinge, observer and section dlrev:mrI of the climate and crop service of the| United States Weather Bureau, New | Mexico section, has kindly furnished ihe | following information as to questions asked about Albuquerque: The averaje snowfall at that place is about twenty inches. As a rule it disappears rapidly after falling. The total precipitation at that place for 186 was 7.2 inches; for 1567, 9.74 inches, and for 1598, §.39. BOTH CORRECT—W., Oakland, Cal. If your correspondent wrote ‘‘the price was 8 cents, but on account of Friday's and | Saturday’'s heavy sales he could not fur- nish black nor white,” and referred ‘o why an order had not been filled, the cor- respondent was right. If he meant to convey the information that a party will not be able to fill the order, he would use the following form: “The price is 50 cents, but on account of Friday's and 8at- | urday's heavy sales he cannot furmsh black nor white.” ENGAGEMENT RING—A Subscriber, Martinez. Generally speaking, the con- ventional engagement ring is a diamond one, but If diamonds cannot be afforded | a cheaper gem answers the same purpose. Some choose an an engagement ring the em of the month Inwhich the engagement s made. There I3 no prescribed form for the engagement ring, nor Is there any rescribed size for it. The setting may e such as the fancy of the donator or the wearer may be, and as to cost of such a ring, that is regulated by the liberality of the one who purchases it. LETTERS—H. J, Lynch, California. If you sent a registered letter last August to a relative In a foreign country, you should by the date of your letter have re. cefved a return receipt, which would show you who received the letter. If you have not received any such recelrl make com- plaint to the Postmaster of the place in which the letter was registered, and an inquiry will be set a-foot. Or you might write to the United States Consul at the place where vour relative lives, and he Wwill ascertain i she recelved the letter you sent her. LIMITED RESTRICTION ON TRADE —V., Vallejo, Cal. If a man sells a busi- ness and agrees not to engage In slmilar business in the same place during a period of six months, such a contract is valid in law in this State. Section 1674 of the Civil Code of California says: ‘‘One who sells the good will of a business may agree with the buyer to refrain from car- rKlns on a similar business within a srec- 1 ong ed city, county, or part thereof, so as the buyer or any person deriving titie to the fionfl will from him, carries on a like business therein.” THE FIRST THEATER—A. M., City. There Is a record of an amateur theatrical company having performed in New York in 1750, but the first regular theatrical company to perform in America ne that came from England in 1752, under tne management of one Hallman. ' It landed at York, Va., and after obtaining permis- sion from Governor Dinwiddie rented public hall in_ Willlamsburg, Va., a there performed. The first perfos was on Saturday, September b (old le) or - September 16 (new style), 1752 Tre company a few months later went to An- napolis, Md., and played in the first regu- lar theater ever built in America. VAUDEVILLE — Subseriber, | combining | efty. France. In modern French poetry it is applied to a light, gay song, frequently embodying a satire, consisting of several couplets, with a refrain or burden, sung to a familiar air and often introduced into theatrical pleces. It is also applied to a light kind of dramatic entertainment, ntomime with dialogue and songs, which was very popular in the mid- dle of the eighteenth century. At present it is applied to any short, light plece, with songs and dances intermingled with the dialogue, also to a combination of num- bers of specialties.
