The best advertised song of to-day, and
the one that stands the chance of being best
advertised in the near future, is Lullaby"
as sung in "Fritz," and just issued by Mr..
w. F. Helmick, the enterprising music pub
Usher of this city. Mr. Helmick and Mr..
Emmet both claim the right to publish the
song, and between the two it is getting a
pretty lively turn. The facts seem to be
about as follows: The song was written by
Mr. Charles Baker, and the right to sing it
sold to Mr. Emmett. He sung and made it
popular. Then Mr.. Baker sold the piece to
Mr.. Helmick, who, after ascertaining that
no copyright had been secured by Emmet,
published the song and secured the copy
right in his own name. Mr.. Helmick now
has, as evidence of the correctness of his
claim, the original manuscript of Mr.. Baker
and the transfer of the right to himself,
copyright had been secured by Emmett and
lastly, the certificate of his own copyright.
This looks like a pretty strong as well as
cautiously secured claim. Mr. Emmett sets
up his claim on the ground that the song is
part OF a drama which he copyrighted as his
own.
We are inclined to believe, however, that
the suit for damages and all Mr.. Emmet's
bluster is good-humored advertising
dodge in the interest of Lullaby" and to
repay Mr.. Helmick for publishing and ad-
vertising the piece, and thus helping to
keep him before the public during his long
absence, and also to repay him for the free
advertising he gave of the present engage
ment here by publishing the song at this
time and filling all the conspicuous win
dows of the city with a copy containing
Emmet's portrait and an announcement Of
Fritz" at the Grand. One good turn de-
serves another and after Helmick had
done so much for Emmett, why should the
latter not feel like returning it? Whether
this be true or not, ''Lullaby" will profit
popularity that can be given it.

have grown to be fine, large, beautiful trees
They are regarded the finest specimen trees

TERRIBLE EFFECT OF FAMINE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-Advlces from
China give further particulars of the terrible
disaster at the Tien Tsin refuge house in which
famine-strcken refugees from the northern
provinces were assembled, when it took fire.
OF nearly 5000 people in the building, only
about 100 escaped.
The extremely cold weather has had a fatal
effect on the refugees, and many have been
frozen to DEATH while thousands are suffering
from insufficient accommodations and lack of
food which cannot be supplied in quantities to
meet the demand
Charles Budd of the China inland mission at
Wechung, who recently visited the famine
stricken province of Sheuse, writes heart
rendng account of the suffering he has wit
messed.
Efforts of the government to supply food and
assistance have been to great extent nullifed
by the dishonesty of officials. Children are
sold by hundreds by their starving parents in
the large cities of Haucheng and Puchen g.
Risings have occurred among the people req
dered desperate by. seeing their wives and
children starving before their faces, and many
other outbreaks are reported. Ia Pucheng the
people beheaded mandarin for specializing on
their necessities. The cold has been usually
severe throughout the country for several
weeks. The money market has been very tight
lately, but arrivals from England and. San

upon the Republicans there. The leaders now
say there is no guarantee for any of them, as
they may at any time on any charge be arrest
ed, tried and convicted. A close canvass of the

interests are respected and the danger of con-
flict between Russia and England ended. Such
however is not the opinion here. The negotia-
tions have left much soreness. 1t is thought
that England's real aim is the humiliation of
Russia. These feelings may possibly lead to
most serious consequences. Prince Gortscha-
koff has quite recovered from his illness.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says
that preliminary declarations are expected
from Austria, which will either prevent meet
acceptable to the powers.
The Tunes has the following from Vienna:
All the offices in Bulgaria are being filled by
Russians or Bulgarians educated in Russia.
The formation OF 20 battalions and II squad
rons of Bulgarian militia has just been Or
dered. The Russian conditions have produced
deep impression here. The party in favor of
peace at any price still continues its agitation,
but there seems to be little probability that it
will get the upper hand either in the delega-
lions or Reichsrath The latest information
encourages hope that the differences between
Russia and Roumania are less ACUTE probably
because Russia has Offered some better COM
pensation than the Dobrudscha for Bessarabia.
Gladstone contributes another article to the
Nineteenth Century, the principal point of which
is that since government is determined that the
question respecting the passage of men-of-war
through the Bosphorus should be left to the
decision of Europe there does not remain the
shadow of plea for separate war by Eng
land, or separate operations in the Levant tend

conclusion of peace between Russia and Tur-
key, stating, however, that the terms would
not be sigLed for some days.

Grand Duke Nicholas and the war party have
arranged peace terms in defiance
of Prince Gortschakoff, whom they
desire to replace by General Ignatieff.
[ have the best reason for asserting that
Count Andrassy will rest content with the pass
ing of vote of credit by the delegations, but
will not court certain defeat by bringing the
matter before the Reichsrath. The vote of
credit will thus merely be an empty expression
