Berlin, Dec. 22.-The semioflicial

Willing to Arbitrate.
Washington. Dec. 2O.-What is re-

made by the United States toward
having the Venezuelan claims settled
without war. Great Britain, which
had assented to arbitration, was fol-
lowed Friday by Germany and Italy,
both Of which governments gave re-
plies 10 our ambas sailors. Briefly
summarized the attitude of the pow
ers on arbitration with Venezuela is
as follows:
Great Britain-Will welcome arbi-
tration and will not insist on the
United States guaranteeing payment
by Venezuela.
Germany-Will consiuer arbitration.
but wants specific guarantee as TO
payment and time of payment.
Italy will accept anything Great
Britain and Germany agree to.
1t is thought here that The Hague
tribunal will be called upon TO act in
the proposed arbitration.

tended through the whole kingdom and
every impulse given at the centre In
Paris was felt at the extremties. IL
counted members among both voters and
non-voters, i'm the National Guards and
i'm the troops OF the line.
But it's own ever ready army was COM
posed OF the destitute and restless class
which was neither humanized by edu-
cation nor checked by prudential motives
having nothing TO lose they were pre-
pared with light-hearted bravery for every
sacrifice. every danger, apd even every
crime and could only expect from every
fresh revolution an Improvement of their
lot.
Continuing Mrs. Slade described the
leaders OF the Jacobins and their acces-
sion to power after the death of Mirabeau
An excellent description was given or the
hse and rule OF the Jacobins, their tyr
ranies and prosecutions.
"In the eyes OF the French representa-
tives." she continued, these Jacobins
were the people, even IL they were but
a handful and OF the worst kind. These
were the wretches who strangled France
TO make her free and drew her life blood
to give her strength, who conquered the
people under pretense OF freeing them
and robbed and murdered systematically

uating their stupid and corrupt rule"
The Cordelius, another important club,
whose influence was limited to Paris, was
described somewhat briefly and the paper
closed with a description OF the Giron-
dists, and the added thought that, 1.-The
clubs became more powerful than the as
sembly itself and the chief instruments
in inaugurating the reign OF terror. which
followed their victories The second paper
by Mrs. Bliss. opened by emphasizing the
fact that 1.-The French revolution. which
never wanted great men, at any OF Its
crises, had also its heroic and brilliant
women. The women, who made them
selves felt and heard above the din OF the
revolution were distinguished for quite
other qualities than those which shine I'm
drawing room or lead a coterie, though
by no means deficient in these attrac-
tions.
"They were either women of rare ge-
MUS and the courage of their convictions,
or women trained in another school who
found their true position in the midst of
stirring events"
Following this brief introduction Mrs.
Bliss dwelt in a most entertaining and H.
luminative way upon those familiar he
roines of French history. Madames Ro-
land, Corday, Necker and DeStael, as
playing a prominent role In the brief
drama to which they lent the inspiration
OF their genius and their sympathy.
