DF LONGS FATE.

The closing scene in one of the most melan-
cbolv cpisodes of Arctic exploration is to be
enacted this week. In July, 1879, the
.Jeannctte sailed from San Francisco on her Ill
starred voyage. To-day all that Is mortal OF
her heroic commander and his companions IN
the last agonizing march across the Lena delta
lies in an American port awaiting the meagre
Offices Of Christian burial and the barren honor
of public reception and naval ceremonials.
The long quest is ended now: the hopeful.
stirring cruise northward through Behrlng
Strait TO the edge of the ice; the hopeless.
wearisome and monotOnous drift with the pack
for twenty months the desperate retreat across
the ice and the open sea TO the Siberian settle
ments; the forOrn and tragic march sOutbwaTd
ending in starvation and death: the securing
of the delta by survivors and rescuers and the
funersl march of {, 200 miles from Yallutsk to
Hamburg and thence across seas to New York.
The last link in this chain OF lucklcss adventure
ends herein the city where De Long was born
forty wears ago. And what is the outcome OF
these exhausting labors, these heart -rending
snflerngs9 What has been added to the circuit
of human krowledgc7 Merely this that on

COpYRJGHT QUESTIONS.

The extraordinary differences OF opinion
among authors, publishers and newspapers as
to the meaning and probable effect OF the Inter
national Copyright bill leave not much room to
douht that Mr.. DOrshemer's measure promises
work for the courts. Mr.. G. p. Lathrop, who
has been urging the bill in Washington as rep
resentative of the American Copyright League,
Is sure that the eighth section means one thing,
and Mr. Conant, who has long represented
Messrs Harper g. Brothers in the copyright agl-
tation, seems to assume that it means another.
MIR. Lathrop is apparently unaware OF the bear
iDg OF Section upon Section .. Judge IOurgee
asks for an amendment which TO our mind
would ruin the whole project. Dlr. Stedman
shows that the antiquities in the bill are 80
MANY that a series OF lawsuits and Supreme
Court judgments would be necessary to give
effect to the intention Of our Legislators and
Mr. Stedman is the one contributor TO the dis
cussion who is entirely in the right. The diff
culties ought to be settled before the bill is
passed
MIR. Dorsheimcr's measure provides (Sec.
II that the foreign author shall have the sole
liberty of printing, reprinting, publishing E.
vending" his work in this country, subject to
the limitations of this act; (SeC. y that 10
foreigner shall be entitled to copyright for
"any book . which shall have been
.'publishcd in the United States before the au-
L" thor shall have become entitled 10 the rights
properties and privileges hereby granted ";
(Sec. 81 that no foreigner shall be entitled to II
copyright for any book published abroad "ono
"year before application has been made for a
"copyrightn under this act; (Sec. 81 that
the foreign author taking out copyright shall
comply with all the provisions OF our domestic
conyright law mot inconsistent with this act"
Other portions of the bill impose the condition
of reciprocity on the part of foreign countries
and extend the protection OF the act to plays,
musical compositions and maps. but not to en-
gravings designs, photographs. etc.
The most serious complaint against the bill
New-York tribune., 1884-02-21
orr ltIyISrER AT EERLLN.

Painful reports are in circulation regarding
the treatment of the United States Minister at
Berlin by the German Government. 1t Is sad
that because of Mr.. Sargcnt's efforts 10 procure
the removal of the embargo upon American
pork products he has incurred the personal
enmitv of Prince Bismarck, and that the latter
has undertaken 10 show his ill-WiIl Oy Ignoring
MIR. Sargent altogether, aud communicating
directly with the Government ut Washington
This is scarcely credible although III the matter
of the Lasker resolutions it does appear That
the return of the document has not been elected
through Mr.. Sargent. But it is scarcely credible
that any sustained treatment Of this KIND
should have occurred, because in such case
the Washington Government must have
brought the facts before Congress, seeing that
the action ascrbed to Prince Bismarck would,
if verified be not simply discourtcsy TO Mr.
Sargent but an insult to the United States
International comfy requires that, when
foreign ambassador has been received, the
Government that receives him shall thence1orth
regard and treat him as the accredited agent
and Intermediary with and for his own Govern
ment. and that all ordinary business relating to
his Government shall pass through his hands {;
and any self-respecting power would instantly
and forcibly resent a slight put upon It's am
bassador.
To ignore Mr.. Sargent and to pass HIM over
as alleged IS not merely to humilate him 1t Is
to show gross and deliberate disrcspect to the
Government that appointed him, and whose
honored and trusted agent he is. If Prince
Bismarck has any charges to prefer against HIM,
he knows his remedy. 1t is the right OF any
Government to object to an ambassador on
personal grounds, provided the objections be
reasonable The United States did this III the
case Of NJ. Catacazy, and it has been often
done. from the time when Francis the First
refused TO receive Cardinal Pole because he
was the personal enemy of the Kings ally
Henry of England, to the present time. But
nothing has been heard of any charges against
Mr.. Sargent. lie appears to have been de-
voted to his duties, and if he has any fault in
the ewes of German officials it must be the
peculiar one of looking too faithfully after his
country's interests.
New-York tribune., 1884-02-21
PAYING THE HARBOR MASTERS.

The Mavor's Cabinet has expressed dIsap-
proyal of the bill now pending i'll the Legisla-
t5re to compensate the HarbOr Masters Tor
nroyiding suitable accommodations for canal
boats. barges lighters, ships, ETC., seeking
berths on the waterfront. The Act of 1883
proyided proper compensation for such
officers instead of Illegal fees collected thereto
fore from commerce, and though it provided
also for new lot of officers to succeed the old
board. the latter have continued in Office upon
the best legal opinion that they should do SO
until their successors are appointed. The Leg
isature should DO justice to the Harbor Mas
ters; the work has been done by them and they
are entitled to compensation. Merchants and
shp-owners were glad to get their services.
The legislation of last session was blunder,
and had it not been for the stand taken by the
Halbor Masters, shipping men would have
fonnd "confusiOn worse cJni0unded" at thls
mort. No one is to blame for this but those who
mismapaged the matter at Albany. There have
been ANNOYANCE, expense and confusion con-
nected with this Harbor Master question simply
because its status has not been established. es-
pecially since the collection of fees was de-
clared unconstitutional. Then for years the
''NNN
of tbp Harbor Masters agreed to pay the fees
Notwithstanding the uncOnStltutlOnality OF the
law. for they declared that the Office was
necessary and could not be abolished without
endangering the interests Of commerce. Nhen
tbe Dock Commissioners provided by resolu-
finn for the appointment of dock masters"
with instructions for them to perform the duties
of Harbor Masters the shipping people entered
protest against any interference by the Dock
Depal tment. What the ship-Owners demand Is
that the Office be made a salared one, that only
qualified men be appointed rs Harbor Masters,
and that they be kept in Office during good be-
havior They desire to leave the selection OF
the officers to the Chamber of Commerce, so that
it may be free from politics, and be made IN
fact q commercial office. If the Office Is put on
purely business basis few complaints VIII be
