Special to the Gazette.

| Congress and as their views have moi
undergone any material change they
nave not as yet determined 81
to whether they will make
my additional speeches. Their views are
we'll knowp, and they are in cordial sym
pathy with the movement for reform anc
revision of tariff duties. Both these gen
tlemen have been greatly pressed thii
season by an immense amount OF business
that has been before the important com
miitees Of which they are chsirmen.
GOOD CHIKF JUSTICE.
1t il ssid here freely, not only by nj!
Texas colleagues, but by others vel
qualified to judge, that no ADLER nor purel
man could be chosen for Chief Justice o.
the Supreme Court than that spleudidly
equipped lawyer who heads the judiciary
committee in the House, Hon. Davic
Culberson. 1t is not likely, however, thai
any southern man stands any chance fol
the pl.ce.

AN ACCEPTABLE COPYRIGHT BILL.
| WASHINGTON, April 81 The Brecken-
ridge copyright bill was to-day reported
10 the House by Mr.. Collins OF the judi
ciary committee. In the report the com.
mittee ssys at last and for the first time
authors, publishers, type-setters, electro.
| typers, binders, booksellers and all 9TH
ers engaged in making and dis.
tributing books have with singular
unenimity agreed upon q bill which
they ask Congress to pass. Under its
provisions the American author will have
protection for his work which is now
denied him abroad because of our denial
of the rights of all others. The passage
of the bill will encourage and stimulate
American authorship, designing, engrav-
ing and all the arts that enter
into the making of good books. BY
it our authors obtain wide market,
that of the whole world. 1t will unques-
tionably raise Ene standard OF literature
also by bsnishing "trssnY" and "gas-
light" literature from the field. 1t needs
ono angel from hesven to tells us" all the
EARN that such stuff has done our youth.
Il is certain that the best books written
BY man and woman all over the world will
under the International copyright be
sold in the United States for
less than they are now sold, and
tue consciousness Of opinion and argu-
ment, pushed almost to demonstration, is
that all other books will be sold for as
low q price as they are now. The passage
of the bill will be just to our authorized
publishers and artists, just to all authors,
benef fetal to our literature, and honors-
Ole to our civilization.
THE DUNN FREE SHIP BILL
IS reported to the House to-day by the
committee on merchant marine and fish,
cries is identical with the bill reported to
last Congress, with the exception Of two
amendments, limiting the business of

can registered to foreign trade and ex-
pressly prohibiting them from engaging
in cosstwfse trade.
