THE COPyRIGHT LAW.
VIEW. OF ENGLI-H FUBLI^HER..
LITTLE FFFECT YfcT NOTICEABLE-DEVEI.OP
MEINTS EXPECTEO UNDER THE ACT.
London, De.. 13.?A series of Intervlcws wlth tlie
hends of ihe great pnbll.hing flrms here waa ut.der
taken l.y tlie Assoelat-d Pre-?. with a rlew io ascer
talnlng what effect tho Ameffcan Oopyrlght law was
profluelng. HerewlfB aro pre_?nted the opinlons of
thoso whose vlcws are based npon practical knowledg.
and experlence.
Cassell <fc Co.'s manager, ln i_*ponse to tlie _nerv,
'" ls the act eaustng any notable altcratlon lu the ar
rangement- of the Anglo-Aniei-leau publlsher.1" said :
" Not much. Several of tlie Ameriean put.li -her- have
opene<l braneh honses here, but I do not hear of many
Knjrli-h honses havlng tnvadrd New York latoly.''
" Do you know of any iriovcment among Ameriean
houses menaclng, as at one tinie predlrted, the Engllsh
priuter and paper trade-T"
" No. The oost of composltlon ln Amerlca ls more
than dotible what lt ls here; conaequently it does not
pay to get lt done ln Amerlca. I have not heard of
any dlstuibance ln the paper trade. We antlclpate
conslderable dcvelopmenta under tlie act, and have
therefore arranged for tTio productlon of a aerles of
International copyritfit noveh. The most strlking _gn
so far ls the stlmulatlng of prlres asked by author* on
both sides, but this wlll flnd Its level qukkly enough.
The main gain ought tx> be the cheapening of good liter
ature In both. countries. This wlll result gradually, but
surely."
Chatto ?fc Wlndus's manager said: ''Little altera
tlon ls yet poUeeable ln the arrangement _ of
tho Angh. Ameriean publlshers. Ameriean publl.h
ers are, perhaps, sho.vlng greuter activlty ln
prodticlng the works of Ameriean authors, and In
olfcrlng stereotj-pe ptates of micI. works for BBBB In tlie
Engllsh market. It is ccrtainly most deslrable tluit
somo change in the direction of the proposal of tho
Literary Confercnce at Neuehatel should be made.
instead of a delay of six months being granted fur n>
productlon, there ougUt to be twelve month-. As to
tho gBBBttaa whether tho act is proving u stitnulus to
literary effort, it appeurs, ... far, to stltuulato A_ueri
ean authors chk-fly."
Mcssrs. Kegan Patil, Trenrh, Tnibner <fc Co. say:
"The aet is eauslng no nlteratlou In our arrangenu-nts.
Wo hnve BBBBB hoaid of any movenient among Ameri?
ean houses menaclng the Engllsh prlnting and paper
trades, and do not tlilnk thnt nny such movenient ex
ist_. Wc do not think the effects of the aet upon the
book trade are likely to be so lmportunl as is gencmlly
supposcd. one would tlilnk that Iho aet wlll siinply
affect popular lltenitiire of tlie class whieh influenees
tho milllon and is iead by tho mlllion?litorntuiv for
whieh people would pay a shilling If they cannot get
lt for nothing. In tho class of lit. .-utiin- whieh .'.-.cs
nol appeal to the rnillion, and whlch ls BBBB costly to
product. wc do not t.'iink tliat any ijucstlon of eopy
right is likely to arise."
riBlBf I'nwin, the Engllsh publi-her of "The Cen?
tury," and of nutnerous otlier xforks, holils that tlio
aet has not yot had uny Itnportiiut intliienre on the
book ti.ide. lils flrm is arranidng to pul.ll .h s-vcr.il
bcM.ks under the aet, but at present eann< ?t give tlio
names of them. Ameriean cllcln-s, Jie sairt, would
certain ly noi l>e chk-fly uved in the pioducton of iu
teii.ationnl edltion -.
Tl.e agent Of one of the largest Ameriean pul.ligh
lug conipantea, whose inag. c/.iin- ikculiite* )ar_-lv Ifl
- England, said : "Tlie art is not efferting atiy change
,'in the eotnrnerelal i.latlons of ,be Englisli and Ameri
I can houae*. There is no movenient among Ameriean
j pilnters likely to injnre Engll-h hc-u-.es. lt !s ioo
, BOOB yet to say what the et."ct of HM aet wlll be in
! s lmulatlng literary effort. but an obvious re-ult !? to
i j.ut Ameriean effoft and Engllsh effort on a little morv
level terais as to price."

AMERICAN OIRLS AND FOREIC.N MARRIA_E-.
Parie, Dec. 13.?Several promlnent EngU-h and
Ameriean lawyers have reeently lieen Interviewed here
on the subjeet of international ni.irriage.. H-nry
(-Bchnrd, representlng Coudert Hrothers, of New-Yi.rk,
said: "Tlie general oplnic.n that sin h nmrrhige.- nre
merely exehanges of money for soclal po~itl~n ia a
rnlstake. Although BB8BB8 do sometlmes origlnate in
seltish inotlves, they are mosUy due f. affectkin. The
faet tliat tlie women keep contuol of thelr money and
that often the men have more property than thelr
wlvcfi goes far to prove tlils. Such marriages have
generally turned out happHy."
One of the legal advlsers of the I'nited Stnte* Oon
. uiat a- said: " ln the majortty of ca-ses tl.e fortune ?
of Americ.in women are ln trust pnd so tled up that
the lneomes nlone ean be touehed. Mnrringe wlth
such WOBBBB, therefore, wlll searcely be a balt to men
who-c sole object is money. Women aro to a ecrtuln
degree attract-_l bf the glltter of a eoronet."
One of the lcgnl advlsers of the UaNei States Legn
tlon said: "I think that If tlie Ameriean girl whose

KILLED ON THE RA1LS.
SUDDEN DEATH OK AN ELEVATED ROAD.
TWO STOIUES AEOLT A FATAL ACCIDKNT AT
E--I1T.'MNTH-fT. AND THIRD-AVE.
Just how Martin Bierman, a cigarmakrr, came
to Ite crushed into atonia yesterday under tlie
whcels of a Thlrd-ave. elcvated railroad train
may never positively bc known. Tliere are two
storics of his terrible death. The liret of t*\EBt,
told by the tralnmen, to that he waa helplessly
tlrunk and fell on the rails. The wcond put
forth by his friends? none of whom was with
him at the time, aays that Bierman, who lived
with his wile and ohildren at No. 191 East,
Eight.y-_fventh.8_, got into a quarrel with a gate
nian just as he __? about to leave the train at
Eighty-ninth-st.J thftt Tie was hrutally beaten,
pushcil off the car, and fell between the platform
and the train. Tlie ticket-chopper who was on
duty when Bierman met his death mystcriously
disappoared immeVliatcly after the fatality, and
could pot be found. The only other duscoveral.le
witnesses to the death are Daniel J. Tneker, the
enginecrj and John Carroll, the condu.t~ir of the
train. Tticker ia now a prisouer pending an in
vestigation of the faotii by tlie poliee of tho
Twenty-eeventh Precinct.
Ihis ia the etory told by Tucker and corrobo
rated hy Carroll. At 1 'Bt yesterday afternoon
a train consistlng of flve cars and drawn by motor
No. 95 rolled Into the Eighty-ninth-st. titation on
ite journey to South Ferry. At that moment
there were scarcely more than a dozen people on
the platform. One of these w,_s a fairly well
dicssed man, apparently about thlrty-?_?__*- years
old. He stood at the extretne edge of the plat?
form, about thiny feet from the guard rail at
the northern end. The man hnd evidently been
drinking. Witli c:ieh movement of his body hc
stni-trercd or swayed to and fro until his body
I .ent well over tlie downtown traek. As tlie _____
of. tl.e euginc passed tl.e tippcr end of the plat?
form, Tu.-j.er BBW tliat the traek was perfeetly
clcar. Jn tlie satuo instant. his eye f' 11 upon tl.e
man standing on tlu. edge of the platform, aud
now perfeetly raotionlcs* and en-et. Tho engiiic
was within si\ ***** ot the man, when, atnid
cries of liorror from the byskindors, he wan
BBBB to lun-li heavily forward, and, thlOWi-g
liis arms almve hfl head, in a wild etrort to rc
g;iin hii balanee, f.-ill prone. aeross tlie K_Bta_t_g
steel rails of the tra.-k. (
Then tln- wlieels -tiink him, und he was eaught
up, lieaten down, ar.d tom linil. froni linlb, as the
engiiN dn.vc liitn lieforc it along tlie rails to the
end of tlie platform. When tlie fnuiments of
tho body had been pieked up it W_B lound that.
the li:iek of tlie liead had U-.-n torn oil, u.nd that
tln- k|8 had been dnig.ed iiway froni tlie trutik.
'Ihe bo.lv W_8 t;iUt-ii to tlu- l-.ast Eighty-eigli_i.it.
poliee atation, ti.-re to uwait the aettaa af the
Coroaar.
Hiermnn's i-'Iativos indignantly deny tliat he
M~M diaak, or that. his death wiis due to aei-i
ilt-nt. They say that he had boc.n to Iliirl.-ui OB
liiisiness and was returniiw to his lu.tiie. He
woiiid ..rdinarily leav.- tlu- trniii at Eighty-nintli?
st., whieh is near where ta lived. 'I heir ass-r
tion, taaed apparently on siinple liel.f, that I.e
was pushed oif tl.e traiu aml thus fell under it
is tu.t supported by any tangible eviilenee, and
ar iir.isent there is no reason to doubt the truth
.f i ueken. story.
