On Wednesday afternoon O lecture on
"The Women of the French Revolution
was given By Miss Carpenter, who said /
the subject is unique In history because /
no other nation ever offered such /
singular spectacle. French thought tried /
TO free itself from the centuries Of des-
potism that had bound t. but the effort |
was too big for their brains and when
the unhridled lower class, whose only
guide was unreasoning Impulse, came
into power multiplied horrors resulted.
One cannot know what sort of material
will be thrown TO the surface when
great ideas begin TO ferment; IL reaches
supreme heights and lowest depths All
the hidden forces Of past centuries threw
themselves in the foreground, all the
traits of ancestors fused and famed ont
and were sated only by blood, while high
courage illuminated or irresponsible
gayety gave unnatural fiippancy TO
| the terrible scenes. The queen and the
frivolous, light hearted women Of her
court knew nor thought nothing of the
awful wrongs that lurked below the sur
/ face Of what they thought harmless
pleasures until they found the people
/ raging at them, full Of hate; they were
the victims Of the sins of past genera
tions. It was little wonder the two
could not understand one another,-the
frivolous pleasure-seek and those
forced TO struggle for mere life.
Miss Carpenter sketched the principal
actors, the light hearted, careless queen
changed by suffering to n proud heroic
almost sublime figure who kept an un.
daunted attitude Of real dignity and
fortitude. The supreme courage, good
ness and unselfshness Of Madame Eliza
beth, the kings sister, who left her safe
retreat IN England 20 Join the royal
family IN their danger and distress and
to die bravely with them, and the even
more terrible fate Of the lovely Princess
Iamballe, who also returned from safety
TO stand by her friend, the queen, only
to fall a victim to the savage fury Of
the mob.
But one name stands ont with rare
significant brilliance among all these wo-
, men. that of Madame Roland, who be-
! lieved a republic was the true political
Z ideal Of the French nation, and whose
} spirit, conversation and writings held
| together the timid republicans until the
7 bitter day Of '93 when all the moderate.

That there will be hotter fight than ever over the various bills relating to the shipment of liquors from one state to another was evident from the gath ering in the house committee on judici- ary to-day, when the first of a series of hearings on this subject was held. The room was crowded to the doors with representatives of the Deutch- Amerikanischer National Bund, w. O.. T. U., brewing and liquor interests from all parts of the country. The opening address was made by Robert Grain of Baltimore, general counsel for the U. S. Brewers association, "a body that is yitally interested in the pending measures as he said, mot only be- cause of their immediate practical consequences, but because of the dan gerous and revolutionary principles in volved." In the course of an extended argument on the subject, of which he has made a profound study and with which he is perfectly familiar, Mfr Grain stated five grounds on which the brewing interests of the country op- pose such hills of which what is known as the Hepburn-Doliver bill has been before congress for several years. These grounds were. first, that there is no necessity for 1t as the present law as interpreted already gives the states all the power they need, or would in reality be able to exercise under this bill; second, it is vicious legislation, likely to have an effect op- posite to that intended; third, it is a gross interference with the rights of personal liberty; fourth, it would in volve serious financial loss and even ruin to various important interests; and, fifth, it would be unconstitutional.

Anthony Fiava, the Arctic explorer, whose party had been given up for lost when a message came from Norway last summer saying that he had been reached by the relief ship Terra Nova, is living quietly in Brooklyn, content to accept the inclemeney of a New York winter, which he admits is much more trying. with Its heat and rain, than the good, honest cold of the region around the pole. where it doesn't rain after it has made up its mind to snow. The explorer. however, does appreciate the luxuries of civilization. A year ago he was in sight of starvation, his ship wrecked, cut off from all communlca- ton with the world, but still fighting across the ice. through darkness, to reach the north pole. He tells the story in MeClure's Magazine, and says that at the beginning of the second year within the Arctic circle. after the relief ship had failed to reach the little col ony alone fin the great white waste, dis satisfaction arose and the party scat tered, many remaining in idleness at Cape Flora, to which they had gone in the expectation of meeting the relief ship and sailing home with it; others were constantly in the field with dogs and sledges, transporting provisions from cache to cache In order that all might not starve to death; and Fiala was at Camp Abruzzi preparing in the face Of all these diseoursgemeBts to make another determined effort to reach the pole. The most dramatic scene of the entire story is that of the sixth day of the advance. when Mir Peters. in command of the last sup porting party. in tent on the ice urged FiaIa to turn back. Fiala was all for going on. but Peters pointed out to him not only the sBsil-Iike progress made % fer, hut thst to run the risk of los ing these sledges might mean the death of the men left at Abruzzi and Jack. son. Fiala yielded. and led the way back. knowing that he had failed.

railroads that any honest corporation ought to fear. Yet the railroads do fear it, and they fear it, according to Mr Esch, because they know that pub licity as to many of their practices will solidify the sentiment for strict govern mental supervision of their dealings with the shipping public. Scarcely day passes that the interstate con- merce commission does not get a com plaint from some small shipper to the effect that the railroad tariff between his factory town and his natural mar ket threatens to entirely wipe out both his business and the community of which that business is the chief sup port. He is charged a higher rate for hauling his fuel from the mines than the same railroads charge for hauling the same fuel from the same mines greater distance to some of the bigger towns. He is discriminated against in the same way when he imports his raw material and exports his finished pro- duct. These eases are comparatively small individually, but in the aggre- gate they are enormous. The question is why should they exist at all? The publicity feature of the rate bill would explain them and good many things besides. This is one of the cpief fears of the railroads. The fear of publicity which an honest business should wei come is going to be the greatest stum- bling block in the way of effective rate legislation. ...

IT IS, NONPARTISAN
Remarkable Situation In Con-
 gress Over Hepburn Bill.
SENATOR PULLMAN MAKES COMMENTS
Now Occupies Foremost Place on the Calendar as Most Important Meas
 ure to Be Disposed of at This Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-A most re- markable and unprecedented situation ] has been brought about in congress by the selection of Senator Tillman to make the report of the senate inter- state commerce committee for the Hep burn rate bill without amendment. It has given the whole rate question a political importance that it has not hitherto possessed. Democrats are jubilant because they believe they are to get the credit before the country for rate legislation, while they predict the Republican party will be split open by the bitter dissensions in the senate. Commenting on the bill, Senator Till man said in part:
 ''The presidents views are we'll un- derstood. He has expressed himself very fully in his. message and in inter views. The nAtspapers have not spared any opportunity to announce what they suppose have been his views on this subject Therefore there is no further need for anybody to get his views, and he has been very free to communicate his views to congress whenever he has seen fit to do so.'
 Do you take the view that this rail road legislation is Democratic meas ure now that it has been reported by a majority of Democrats on the commit tee and by a Democratic senator?'
 Tt is a nonpartisan measure" re- piled Senator Tillman. Tt is neither Republican nor Democratic. but it can no longer be called Republican meas ure."
 From the time that Senator Tillman presented his report on the bill to the senate today until the peasure shall have been finally disposed of by the senate the bill will actually, if not technically, occupy the foremost place on the senate calendar. From the be ginning of the session the rate regula- ton question has received eager atten- tion whenever the subject has been ap- preached. even though in an informal way, as has been the case on several occasions. and the formal reporting of the measure will necessarily intensity the interest in it.
 All senators. whatever their individ' ual view, unite in considering the rail. road question as the most important before congress, and friends and oppo nents of the Hepburn Deliver bill alike unite in the desire to have 1t disposed af as nrornntIv ss ro<sihle
