Mr. Ilnwen TnUon '.io(Jr"iiiid Tlirit Ho Ciin- not Arotipt tint Cnntonlioii Tlmt n lllciok Hdo ICutltlr thn I'ourrn to I'roTor- oiilliil Trcntineiit. Washington, Fob. 3. Herbert W. Bowen, Venezuela's representative in the negotiations at Washington for a settlement of the claims against that, country, has scut through the British ambassador here what amounts practically to an ultimatum to tile allied powers of Great ltrltain, Germany and Italy regarding their insistence for preferential treatment in the settlement of their claims against, Venezuela. This note, which the British ambassador received shortly before nine o'clock last night, was cabled at, once to London, copies of it being transmitted to the Italian and German embassies for transmis sion to itome and Berlin. It is in re ply to the proposition submitted at n joint conference of the negotiators yesterday afternoon by the British ambassador, urging that the allied powers be allowed two-thirds of 3C per cent, of the custom receipts of the ports of La Guaira and J'orto Cabello, and that the United States and the other claimant nations, Franco, Itelgluin, Holland, Denmark, Spain and Norway and Sweden, con tent themselves with the remaining one-third of tills percentage, that is, ivn per cent, of 1 ho receipts of these two ports. In the note received by the British ambassador from Mr. Howen last night the latter refuses point blank the proposition for a ill) and 10 per cent, division on the ground Hint to recognize the principle it. embodies would lie absolutely offensive to mod ern civilization. In !ew of the fact that the negotiators are agreed on all save the question of preferen tial treatment, the ambassador is In formed thnt Venezuela has deeided to submit that question to The Hague arbitration tribunal. The acceptance of this proposition, Venezuela con tends, carries with it. a raising of the blockade, the general understanding being that the blockade would end when the negotiators at Washington had reached an agreement. it is understood that in refusing this last, proposition submitted by the British ambassador on behalf ot the allies Mr. Bowen takes the ground that he cannot accept, in principle the contention that blockades and bombardment of forts and the conse quent killing of helpless men, women and children entitles a power or alli ance of powers to preferential treat ment at the hands of a civilized na tion. It. Is claimed that should the peace powers and the blockading powers agree to such a principle they would incorporate in the law of na tions a doctrine in conflict, with the tenets of all modern day ethics.

A Xew Novel Attrnctlnpr Attention, "Lionel Ardon," by Malcolm Dearborn, h.1' a new Historical novel urougnt out uv jjii i Unchain & Co.. in November last. It had many points on which to commend it for its superiority to the reading public. There is, at present, such a deluge of new novelr that when one can be picked out whose in terest is so intense and whose characters are so well drawn like all productions ol true merit, it is soon placed in the first rank. At the time of the publication of this vol unie we had the pleasure of favorably rei viewing it, and we are pleased to note thn general appreciation of "Lionel Ardon" bir the American press. The following is Iron'i the Boston Beacon: "In this book the reader renews acquaint' ancc with English history by means of a story delicately conceived and very inter estingly told. The historical characters aru well drawn and the imaginary ones are trui? to life pa9t or present. This is the first. novel to utilize the beautiful face and char acter of Lady dane Grey and she makes a. very attractive part of the story. Lionel Ardon from boyhood to manhood playr. worthily the hero's part. The book is very strikingly hound in dark blue and gilt with a decorative touch by the outlines of thcr rose and thistle in colors and two inverted I swords in white."
