      I HPHE complimentary breakfast which was - * - given three weeks ago in New York to

      Count Emile de Keratry by a - large and influential assemblage of American authors ,

      ' artists , and publishers was , in more respects than one , a noteworthy and gratifying event .

      Count de Keratry is the accredited represen t tative to the United States of the Soci £ t & de

      Gens i de Lettres , the Socie"te * des Auteiirs Dramatiquesand other literary associations

      , of France . He has , moreover , been commissioned by the French Government to submit

      the draft of an amended International Copyright Treaty to the Department of State ,

      "Washington . Amongst contemporary soldiers there are few men who more conspicuously

      link gifts the of courage ' Captain of Pen ' Captain 9 than Sword Count ' to the de

      Keratry . A distinguished French cavalry officer UX 1 XV / OX , he XX O p |/ 1 layed OiJCU a CV gallant gOiXXtibXXIs part JJCtX V XXJL in the bXXC 7 cam ^ CTiXXX - "

      paigns of the Crimea , Algeria , and Mexicpv During ^¦^ the siege of Paris he held the peculiarl rib y

      onerous post of *** r Prefect of Police , and ; > ras a prominent member of the National

      Government of Defence . Since his retirement from the army , Count de Ke > a < try has thrown his

      energies into literature and journalism , and is widely known as the author of * The Rise and

      Fall of the Emperor Maximilian ' and other historical and military works . We do not

      wonder , theref ore , that such a representative of the valour and intellect of France should have

      been hailed on the occasion in question as a * new Lafayette—a Lafayette of . Letters . ' ,

      • , But quite apart from the personal interest of the gathering , the speeches which were

      made at it on the subject of International Copyright wcire one aAd v all marked by

      enthusiaam , hope , and determination . ' Happily

      1 I there tharaiiR ia nn no need nead . at ni ; . this iihiftvfiiirftA time of . nf day clsm , to tn repeat rAnAkt .

      * ' - -1 m arguments which have been urged over' and

      over again concerning the imperative necessity , as a mere act of simple justice , that the rights

      of authors and publishers the wojld ^ pyer in literary proper 4 y should be protected v from

      unscrupulous pirates .. Every , honourable ( author in tite United States is ashamed ( gf ' the

      lawlessness which at present prevails in regard to imported books , and thousands of cultured

      ™ A ¦ Americans share the ieeling which Dr . Edward Eggleston expressed wben he declared at the

      banquet to Count de Keratry that the nation stands ^ ' convicted of a succession of highway

      robb « m eries m . ' Public ~ r % 1 ' 1 * opinion • in A meric " m a is ripening fast in regard to this subject , and

      even on grounds of policy , and in the interests of a purely national literature , the conviction

      is almost hourly gaining ground that the tiiiife has arrived - for prompt — — and decisiv t e measures

      of reform . lVJr . Lowell , who is-President of the American Copyright League , has put the

      matter in a way which is worthy of Hoaea Biglow himself—* There is one thing betf er

      ^ M 0 * / " ^ mJI ^^ than a cheap book , and that is a book honestly come by /

      The revised Bill which is now before Congress is a thoroughly practical measureand if

      , the support of those who are best qualified to form an opinion on the question counts for

      anything at Washijnrgfcon , there ought to be no reason to fear that International Copyright

      will not become the law of the land during tlie presentr flessioix . The Bill introduced by Senator

      Platt is to all intends and purposes the Chace Bill of last session , with slight modifications

      which practically widen its ; scope and bring It into closer relationship with existing needs ;
