FOREIGN GOSSIP.

The action of the Federal Council in
passing the German copyright bill in the
form in which it was ultimately adopt
ed by the Reichstag is generally approved
IN the German press. IL has been feared
IN many quarters that the Council would
refer the bill back to the Reichstag for
further consideration. one of the ques-
tions keenIy discussed both before and
after the bill passed its third reading was
the duration of copyright in dramatic
and musical works. In the bill as it was
laid before the House By the Government
thirty years. counting from the death OF
the author or composer, was proposed as
the period during which works Of this ma
ture should remain private property. The
committee recommended that this period
should be heightened to fifty years.

which he contended had been adopted

able to continue to claim their royalties
till 1893, and to retain "Parsifal'' as the

the interests of the public. He asserted
that the change proposed by the commit
tee would put between I.00O,000 and 2,Oo0,

deayored to influence the decision of the

The Russian Finance Minister, NJ.
Witte, has succeeded in making himself
the object of some lively criticism in
Berlin. Not long ago he issued orders
that the share companies founded or con-
troIIed in whole or part by German sub
jects are only TO be quoted on the Rus
sian Bourses when his special permission
has been obtained in each case. The Ger
man explanation of NJ. Whites action is
as follows: When the Russian Govern
ment took over the Southwest Railway,
certificates were issued TO the sharehoid-
ers. In spite of the warnings issued b. the
Russian Government. these certificates
became the subject of speculation. and
their price rose from between l and 5
marks to 20 or 30 marks each. Several
of the holders Of these certificates, having
suffered loss. appealed to the Berlin
BoUrse, and asked that in future Rus
san loans and other new securities should
not be quoted on the Bourse until the
certifcate-holders had received the COM
pensatiGn which they claimed. The com
mIttee of the BOurse did not at once reject
this proposal but declined to discuss it
until occasion should arise. OF course,
they had not the least intention of re-
fusing to quote Russian loans, but NJ
Witte, it is said, was angered by their
failure to adopt positive action in their
favor, and retaliated in the manner de-
scribed. Prompt retaliation seems just
now to be prominent feature Of Russian
policy. The German newspapers are eX-
citedly accusing NJ. Nitte OF infringing
the commercial treaties between the two
countries. but an inspired paragraph in a
Government organ bids them be cool and
declares that the whole matter VIII be
settled amicably before long and without
reprisalS.

There has been an amusing muddle in
connection with the discovery by Sir Har-
ry Johnston of new and strange beasts
in the forests Of Uganda. The first and,
as il turns out, the correct. story was that
he had found two creatures unknown To
naturaIists, one an animal resembling a
hornless girane-allied to the extinct he'll
Iadotherium, and the other a giraffe with
five horns Prof. G. Ray Lancaster wrote
to the London Times" to explain that
the latter beast was non-eXistent; was,
in fact. the product of a curious linguistic
illusion. Sir Harry had spoken. q. writ
ten. of a giraffe sans cornes,' and this
phrase. in repetition. had been converted
into giraffe cinq cornes." This was an
ingenious explanAtion-many a myth has
been constructed upon less substantial
foundation but, curioUsly enough. it
proves TO have been entirely superhuous
aud unnecessary. and it is now ia order
for Prof. Lancaster to say why he made
it and where he got it from As mat
ter of fact, the authority being Sir II.

There is always an alarmist, on one
side or the other, to foresee an imminent
conflict between France and England.
and TO compare the respective forces of
the two countries The most recent of
them is N. GeTmain Bapst, who, in
long article in the Figaro argues that
it is the urgent duty of the Government
to make ready against an attack from
their neighbor across the Channel. The
French feet he admits. is much weaker
than the British-in spite of the superior
ity of the French ships as individual
| units-but he does not think that the
English men-of-war could do much mis-
chief by a bOmbardmeGt of the naval
works at MarseiIles. Havre. or Dunkirk,
as the land defences are too strong. but
they could easily, OF course if they chose,
| destroy such resorts as Nice or Cannes
1t is not likely. says NJ. Bapst, that the
English would attempt 70 land either in
France or AIgiers. but the South African
war had proved that they could transport
to and maintain in any part of the world
an army of 250,U0 men. and this was
threat to all French colonies Great

THE BEST.

The Newspaper Blue Book, published
by Theodore Wiese of Chicago, of the
United States Press Clipping Bureau,
gives what he styles "a select list of
the best newspapers in the United
States" We are in receipt of this book
the past week and we find that there
are sixteen Georgia Weekiies so cIassed,
as follows in alphabetical order: Balm
bridge Democrat, Carrollton Times,
Gainesville News, Dalton Argus, Dub
lin Courier Dispatch, Elberton Star,
Gainesville Eagle, Griffin News and
Sun, HawkinOville Dispatch, LAGRANGE
Reporter, MARIETTA Journal, Milledge-
vile Union Recorder, Newman Herald
and Advertiser. Thomasville Times,
Naldosta Times and Waycross Journal.
The Marietta Journal considers it a
high compliment to be classed with
this number of the best weeklies in
Georgia from so high source. 1t shows
that Marietta has paper at least that
is creditable and worthy of notice
abroad as we'll as at home.

CANNING FACTORY.

\ former Cobb countian now living
at Admission, Ala, writes to a relative
here as to the encouragement he can
get to establish canning factory at
this place, costing $4,000. If the
farmers will cultivate and supply the
factory with tomatoes, he and his asso-
cates are willing to locate in Marietta
and invest the above sum in a plant.
We see no reasons why our farmers
should not put vast number of acres
in tomatoes, beans cucumbers, &c,
and. thus by diversifying their crops,
realize good profit and do great
deal towards sustaining the enterprise
and keeping it running.
There are peach orchards enough here
now to supply vast deal of peaches
for canning factory There are a
number of vineyards that could con-
tribute large supply of grapes each
season.
We hope the gentlemen looking for
a location will come to Marietta and
make canvass among our farmers in
this section and get them to, obligate
themselves to extensively plant toma-
'es, cucumbers, &c, and thus sup
ply the material necessary to keep a
c"nning factory of this magnitude in
full operation for many months.
Let every encouragement be extend
ed to establish these small industries,
for they are the life blood of prosperity
and trade of any town.
Marietta needs many of them. If
we had this canning factory it would
give large number of hands employ
ment, prove renumerative ito farmers
aid turn good deal of cash loose
among all lines of trade.
