ROYALTIES ARE EARLY RlsERs.
King Edward Is Always UP at 2, and
the Kaiser Breakfasts Than

4
Household Words: While the great
mass Of his subjects are still comfortably
asleep in bed King Edward has risen and
is seated at his desk, deep in the consid-
Grafton of state documents, for, though
his majesty does not lie down with the
lamb. he gets up with the milkman.
| 1t is always after midnight before the
king is In bed, but by o'clock he Is astir.
Very often he rises couple of hours
EARLIER. In order to keep abreast with the
enormous quantity of work which presses
on him. At Windsor he usually attends
the early service at st. Georges and has
accomplished the days work of an ordi-
nary man before most of his subjects have
finished breakfast.
This spectacle of the king up and do
Ing at a. M, while SO many of his SUBJ
tects stroll leisurely into their offices five
hours later, Is notable and suggestive
Americans assign as one reason for their
marvellous progress that New Workers are
ut business at $50 or Q a. m, while Lon
Toners are full hour later
There are no harder workers than mod
nrn monarchs and they, at all events, APP
preciate the value of the morning hours
The German emperor breakfasts punctu-
ally every morning at I o'clock. Very
often he has been up for hours.
Not very long ago the colonel Of the
First Dragons turned up twenty-five min
utes late at the n. m. parade To his
horror he found the kaiser waiting with
the regiment. Without a word the en-
peror motioned the officer to his post and
watched the drill in silence, but on that
evening the colonel received from his i'm
perial master neat little alarm clock.
Soon after a. M, the emperor is at
the foreign office In consultation with
Count Won Buelow. His ally. the king Of
Italy, is likewise an early riser, and re-
quires his offices and servants to be the
same.
Soon after his accession he made n
round of morning visits to the government
offices. At each he arrived at the stated
time of opening. and smoked cigarettes
while waiting events. When the early
bird of the clerks arrived-an hour late
he found, not the worm, but the king,
awaiting him. Very plainly were the heads
OF departments informed that the king re-
qured strict punctuality and attendance
to business. One result OF this action of
Victor Emmanuels is that the italian civil
service estimates have been considerably
reduced by dlsmssing clerks whom regu-
lar hours rendered superfiuous.
The car of Russia is another of the Z
O'Clock breakfast brigade while the en-
percr Francis Joseph is astir even earlier.
IT must be very early riser who would
get the better of the Mkado. The ruler
of 8ritain's new ally holds his councils of

Washington, Dec "a. The question of
the effect of murder upon q life insur-
ance policy when issued upon the life
Of the murderer was passed upon by
the United States supreme court in an
opinion delivered by Justice Brewer.

HIS policy was made payable to his

death of his executors. During the fol-
lowing year Burt's Wife died and he
afterward WAS charged With the MUIR
der and was found guilty and executed
AfterWard the heirs OF the estate made
an effort 10 collect upon the policy, but
the insurance company resisted pay

lAc lower courts, including the court
ol appeals for the Fifth circuit, sus-
taiuea the protest of the company and
the opinion affirmed the decision of the
court OF appeals holding the policy in
valid on the ground that to sanction
payment under the circumstances
would be contrary to public policy.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Little Learned in Venezuelan Matte,
Since Saturday.

ONCE Saturday.
Washington, Dec. 23.-Onicials of the
state department announced to the
newspaper reporters that there was
nothing to make public regarding the
latest phases of the Venezuelan en-
broglio. Such dispatches from the
American embassies in Europe and
from Minister Bowen at Caracas, re-
garding Venezuelan matters as came
to Washington We're of confidential
character, concerning whose nature 1t
was Impossible to ascertain anything.
II is believed there has been no
change of Importance since Saturday.
when the state department announced
that, in response to President Roose-
velts suggestion 10 the allies that The
Hague tribunal arbitrate the issues, the
European governments suggested that
The president himself act III the capac-
ity OF arbitrator While reluctant to
take up the role of mediator the presi-
dent would do so rather than to see the
unfortunate state OF affairs now exist
ing prolonged indefinitely.
Although the president was absent
from Washington yesterday he was in
telegraphic communication With the
oticials here, hut there We're no definite
developments so far as could be
learned, and it may be a day or two
before the European governments re-
l,lN to our last suggestion again urging
arbitration under The Hague treaty.

ROOSEVELT WILL ACT
AS ARBITRATOR
London Believes the President
Will Accept the Office
rendered Him.
CAUSES MUCH sURPRlsA
strietest Secrecy Is Being Observed as
20 Every Phase of tho Nesotia-
tions-lmpossible to Get
Definite Statement.

Caracas, Dec. 23.-In the name Oh
Venezuela President Castro has signi-
fled acceptance of the appointment of
President Roosevelt to arbitra1e the
Venezuelan difficulty.
London, Dec. 22.--It is believed that
President Roosevelt's answer to the
proposal made by the allied powers
that he arbitrate the Venezuelan issues
has been received in London.
The strictest secrecy with regard to
every phase of the negotiations is pre-
served, however, and it is Impossible
to make Il definite statement, but such
Indications as are obtainable point TO
President Roosevelt's acceptance of the
Office of arbitrator.
constant interchange of cablegrams
proceeded all day between the United
States embassy here and the state de-
partment at Washington.
1t is believed that the presidents an
swer win be formally submitted to the
FOREIGN office today. BY Wednesday,,
unless some unexpected complication
arises, it is believed the negotiations
Will reach stage assuring a definite
arrangement and obviating hostilittes.
Would Surprise Foreign Office.
1t must be said that the acceptance of
the office of arbitrator by President
Roosevelt would greatly surprise the
foreign office, which always has been
doubtful of the issue of the arbitration
negotiations ON account of the belief
that President Roosevelt or the United
States was not willing to undertake the
responsibility thereby involved.
Judging from private American adj
vices which have been received in Lon
don, President Roosevelt, as arbitrator,
would be favorably disposed toward the
temporary adoption of some such
method as was arranged with the Ven
Gated to the state department by Isaac
seligman. With President Roosevelt
acting as arbitrator the serious OBJ
jections in the matter of guarantees,
which frequently have been mentioned
at the foreign office and in these dis
patches, would disappear
The foreign office has repeatedly said
that the great difficulty in it's seeking
way to pacific settlement of the
Venezuelan trouble was its inability to
ascertain to what extent the United
States was willing to assume RESPONSE
bility.
In spite of the fact that Sunday is
usually sacred to leisure in London dip
lomatic circles, yesterday was marked
by activity at all embassies, and especi-
ally the American, where work was in
progress all last night. The promptness
with which Washington deals with
such vital matters astonishes diplomatic
here, and forms an Interesting phase Of
an engrossing situation.
