Russian Royal Family to
Return to Capital
Death Of Grand Duke Michael
Prevents Gdieties Planned.
kuropatkin Writing Another Book
-..Death Penalty Stays.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE dow
aser Empress, on her return to Rus
STA, has taken up her residence in the
Anichkoff palace in st. Petersburg, it
self instead of in her palace at Cat
china, 80 miles out, where she has re-
sided since the outbreak of the revo-
luton. This is the first evidence of the
imperial plans to return to the capt.
tai. The Emperor and Empress had
intended to spend the winter season
at the Winter palace and elaborate
court festivities were planned, but the
death Of the Grand Duke Michael
caused this to be abandoned.
Gen. kuropatkin, who since the end
of the Russo-Japanese war has devoted
himself almost exclusively to literary
labors. is now working on new book,
"Russias Military Problems In it
he discusses the program of army re-
organizations defects in the upper
strata of the army the all-important
ouestions of the defence of the west
ern frontier and the protection of what
is left of Russia's Far Eastern en-
pire. The new book. it is said, will be
only slightly less sensational than the
fourth volume of his history of the
o-Japanese war.
The subcommittee on justice of the
Duma, to which was referred the OPP
position measure for the abolition of
the death penalty in Russia. has de-
cided to recommend the bill unfavor
ably because it is outside the COM
petence of Parliament. and because the
advisability of abandoning the death
penalty at present is considered dues-
tiona BILE.

he hung up last season. Take Bender

many, in fact, to make the team as

DON'T BE DECEIVED

The department of agriculture has recently been informed that certain of its publications dealing with eucalyptus have been misquoted by several companies interested in selling lands. For instance, Circular 97, of the forest service, has been misrepresented as saying that Cali. fornia will in few years be the only source of hardwood supply in the United States. Such a statement has never been made in any of the forest service publications and is not considered a fact
 The department experts believe that there is promise of considerable success in the cultiva- ton of eucalyptus trees in many parts of Cali fornia, but estimates of profit and of growth have been attributed to the department which are unauthorized There are many uncertain ties connected with eucalyptus culture, the gov ernment experts say, which the investor should take into account.
 In some cases statements falsely attributed to the forest service in advertising matter have been corrected when attention was called to the facts, but not before the msstatements had been widely circulated. Secretary Wilson says he does not intend to allow the name of his de partment to be used as means of victimizing the public, and that in future any concern which attributes to the forest service unauthorized statements may expect the statements to be pub licly disavowed

A KING AS STEVEDORE

The business of ruling monarch has become in modern times one of hard work. The daily life of the king of England, even though devoid of a share in legislative functions, is a familiar illustration, while the emperor of Germany IS conspicuous example of unfagging industry The task of elected presidents is no less exact ing, although their surroundings admit of closer touch with the people than is normally possible to royalty. One of the subjects from which kings are more removed than are presidents is the actual lives and conditions of wage-earners. The democratic Gustaf, king of Sweden, has prac- tced the device of disguising himself and find ing work as a stevedore There is no royal road to knowledge but that of stevedore may seem hard path for ruler to tread. Yet here is a king who attempts valiantly to make untrue of application to himself the proverb of the ignor- ance of half the world about how the other half lives.
 The great questions of today, as of all times, are social and economic, and, therefore moral and industrial. They involve problems that can be studied in books only tentatively; personal contact is essential to intimate knowledge, and even such contact may not avail unless the inves- tgator has an aptitude for applied sociology. Most monarchs aTe content to acquire acquaint- ance with the lives of their people by deputy !; but that method implies confidence in the skill, discernment, and accuracy of the agent That Oriental ruler, Haroun al Raschid, sailed forth in disguise, but his chief purpose was that of adventure Nevertheless, tradition makes him find the edge of his enjoyment in the incidental fighting of individual wrongs or the relief of personal distress. But his were excursions more

doubt qualified to perform their professional duties for which they have been educated at great expense and in the discharge of which they would be of value to the government.
 There has been some talk of the modification of the order so that other officers in, the navy than the ''extra numbers" may be excused. If there is to be any change in the general require ment, it should be that all army officers be made to take the test so long as their brethren in the naval establishment are so affected. If there is any virtue in the system it ought to be applied without favor or prejudice. As matter of fact, it does not accomplish what has been de- sired by its author former President Roosevelt. Officers who take the ride or walk once year do no more physical exercise than was their habit before the annual demonstration. It would be better to adopt the suggestion of the secretary of war and require officers, whether of the military or naval establishments, to walk or ride every week. Then there would be the reg ular outdoor exercise, which would avoid the annual cases, which do no good, and probably do much harm And this regardless of the ex- tent to which the system helps promotion.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-02-13
PECULIARITIES OF THE PHYSICAL
 TEST

Those who have taken any interest in the re- quirements of an annual physical test for mem bers of the commissioned personnel of the army, navy, and marine corps have been impressed with the lack of uniformity in that exaction
 Certain officers in the army are not obliged to take the test in any of its varied forms, while nearly all naval officers, including those who are of the petty and warrant grades, must either ride or walk, the only exceptions being those of fcers who are carried as extra numbers and whose retirement affords no opportunity for promotion of juniors. It does not appear why any exception should be made in the case of even these officers if the purpose of the order is to stimulate regular physical exercise By this exception the navy department has revealed the true purpose of the physical test requirement.
 which is, as has been appreciated by those who know anything of it's effect, to create as many vacancies as possible and produce promotion at whatever expense it may be to the government in effecting transfers from the active list of of
 fcers who, while not able to ride or walk the re-
 quired distance in the stipulated time, are no
