INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

addressed dispatch to Minister Lowell on
the subject of copyright, saying it would be
satisfactory to England If treaty could be

as with other countries, namely, without
any condition for the manufacture of Eng
lish books in America, but if this condition
is essential England will negotiate on that
basis treaty providing that books written by
American authors IN England shall be manu-
right there, and would be covered by an exist
ing act. Bnt If 1t provided that books writ.
ten by American authors in America shall be
manufactured in England, in order to have q
copyright in England, such provision would
require the sanction of parliament. Minister

guarantee Of the creation of sufficient num-
Der of occupants or owners to check monopoly
in land, or make available for the laboring

formed the ground of certain ar.
rests in Austria, denied any connection
between the affairs, but asserted If the police
of one country obtained information regarding
the crime of murder or attempt at lin another,
it would be their duty to communicate with
respective authorities and with view to pre-
vent such crime.

place no obstacle in the way of Justin McCar-
thy's motion that the action of the Irish ex-
