HARSH COPYRIGHT LAWS CHANGE
Legislation, Which Directly Applies TO
Great Newspapers.


Great Newspapers.
WASHINGTON. March Am important
measure of great interest to newspapers
throughout the country was enacted to-
ward the closing hours of congress. 1t
amends the copyright laws so as to
correct unduly harsh and oppressive pro-
visions of the law heretofore enacted.
Under the old law any newspaper repro
ducing a copyright photograph and pub
fishing it forfeited plates of the copy and
was liable to a penalty of 81 for every
oopy found in it's possession. The meas
ure as passed modifes materially the pen
alties imposed by the present law 1t
ends as follows:
provided, however, in case of any such
an arrangement for copyright or photo
graph made from any object not a work
of fine art, the sum to be recovered In
any action brought under provisions Of
this section shall be not less than 800
nor more than 5000. And provided fur
'ther i'm case of any such infringement
of copyright of painting drawing stat
ne, engraving. etching, print or model,
or design for work of fine art the same
to be recovered in action brought, the
provisions of this section shall not be less
than $3.50 and not more than 81 900. One
half of all the foregoing penalties go to
the proprietors of the copyright and the
other half to the use of the United
States"

DeIegat.s From the Upper
branch.

Washington, March 3.-The pro-
visions inserted by the senate in the
sundry civil bill to send three of its
members to the prospective information
al monetary conference has been the
cause of considerable rivalry among the
factions on both the democratic and
republican side of the chamber as to
representation on the commission.
From the time the amendment was
voted on by the senate, the silver men
believing themselves to be in the ma
jority in the senate. have assumed that
they would be allowed to name all three
of the democrats of the senate and this
was apparently at first conceded to
them by the anti-silver men. Conse-
quently, when a petition was circulated
last night asking Senators Jones of
Arkansas, Daniel of Virginia, demo-
Gratis, and Teller of Colorado. republi-
can, all free coinage advocates to al
low the use of their names for the posi-

and by several senators who were not
included in that classification Some of
the anti-silver men declined. however,
to attach their names and it was not
program to select none but silver men
from the senate. This soon grew into
an animated protest on the part of
silver antagonists. There were, of
course, conferences between the con-
tending interests, when the anti-sflver-
ties confessed that it was their purpose
to secure representation on the sena-
torial delegation or throw the selection
of the entire commission into the hands
of the president.
The senate went into executive ses-
sion, which closed at 1850 a. m. and
ended with the selection of Senators
Teller, Jones and Daniel as the senate's
representatives in the international
