Berlin, Novi 26. The "divine
rights" ideas of KaUer Wilhelm were
bitterly attacked In the Reichstag to
day by Herr Ledebour, a Socialist
member. The lender's recent Speech
glorifying his ancestors and uphold
ing the claim of divine rights Irri
tated tho people, Ledebour said, and
held the German nation up to ridicule
before the eyes of the world.
Not only did tho Socialist leader
decry the kaiser's speech, but he ac
cused the emperor of bad faith, say
ing that promises solemnly given In
the name of the throne had been for
gotton, and left unfulfilled. He sug
gested that the - - Oerman people
would like to have Wilhelm carry out
these promisee, and thin keep silent
In the future. Tho speech created a
profound sensation.
"What measures did the chancellor
take to keep the pledges that he
made to the Reichstag," Ledebour
demanded. "The promises were giv
en solemnly In the name of the em
peror, and they were ruthlessly vio
lated by the emperor at Koenigsburg
and other places. Must the Oerman
people believe that the1 promises made
made from the throne are not Intrud
ed to be kept? Jf this .Is the case,
thou the time has come when legists
tion may be enactedpreventlng the
ruling monarch from making public
utterances reflecting "upon the peo
ple. The nation expects the empe
ror to maintain the pledges of 1D0D,
and to iipsume the attitude of public
reserve hereafter.
"Recent speeches glorlflng the em
peror's ancestors and upholding ths
claim of divine right were in v the
worst possible taste, ant have irri
tated the people. It has tended' to
hold th6 Cerman nation up to the rid

Rio Janeiro, Nov. 26. Brazil's
ruuuway ships reappeared In Rio

tluns for their surruuder to tho gov
ernment by the mutinous sailors on
board was resumed. An emissary of
the government, sent to arrange for
the surrender. was courteously re
ceived on board of the mutineers'
flaKshlp. Which flew a red banner
from 1H mainmast.
Indlguaut expressions which fol
lowed the announcement that the
senate and chamber of deputies had
extended the yllve' branch to the re
beilious sailors and bad guaranteed
them Immunity from punlHhme- t, if
they would surrender their ships,
were met today by tbe( explanation
of high, officials who said the govern
ment distrusted Its army, and had no
other way out of the difficulty.
It U believed heA that the success
ot the Portugese Yebelllon was di
rectly responsible for the outbreuk
here. The battleship Sttnta Paulo
was In Lisbon harbor at the time of
the Portugese uprising, and he ease
with which the Portugese revolution
ists overthrew their supposed oppres
sors, It Is believed, turned the sail
ors' heads. Arrlvlng at IMo Jan? to,
they learned that the soldiers thought
the sailors were poorly treated, aoj
the mutiny was the result.
