ALLEGED T0BE DEsERTER

Washington. Dec. s.--The Brazilian embassy received telegram from Baron Dadio Branco. the minister of foreign affairs. stating that few days ago several of the officers of the German gunboat Panther went ashore in civilian dress and visited a small fishing town called ItaJahy in the state of Santa cataline, and there, without any form of process, seized a man named Stein 1T who had left hts native country, Germany. as a desert- CT from the army and took him with them as a prisoner on the Panther.
 Tnereupon the gunboat left Ita- Jahay and went to another port In the state of Rio Grande Do Sul.
 The three Brazilian cruisers Amir ante Barraro. Benjamin Constant and Tamandare were sent to watch the Father and see that no similar occur renee should again happen, while the Brazilian government made an offcial protest agaist the action of those off, cers to the German government @
 The department officials in naval cir- clss here say that if the facts are as re- ported, the German government will promptly disavow the action of the of- hcers of the Panther In violating the sovereignty of Brazil. Our own naval practice in the treatment of deserters in foreign ports is said to involve the consent of the local authorities to the landing of master at arms or a mas rine guard for the purpose Of arresting deserters This consent has never been refused and in fact the port authorities frequently themselves request the com rnander of a foreign naval vessel to send ashore and apprehend deseters or boisterous sailors.
 But If in this particular instant Stein hon was not a sailor at all nor atfach- ed to the Partners personnel, but simply a deserter from the Gern1as army then according to American practice, he would be regarded as not. subject to arrest.
 Syivino Do Amarsi, First Secretary of the Brazilian Embassy, declared to- day that the relations between Ger many and Brazil have of late been very cordial It was greatly regretted ut the Brazilian Embassy that this incl. d&nt had happened. though 1t is felt that Germany will give ptoanpt and fuli reflFesA for what af tirst report ape pearS to be q severs bfAaoh cf inter- national law. It is not known under whoee orders the officers of the Panther acted or whether they started ont on shore with the intent of taking stein hoff a prisoner and in that case why they went in civilian dress

 This was done with the exception of the redistribution bill. an outline of which had been given to Parliament. but divisions within the Unionist Party left the Government to the conclusion that 1t would be impossible at present to carry a measure which demanded absolute unity

Reed smoot Arrfvc..

At one of the sessions of the Senate this week Reed Smoot of Utah, broke his customary silence to address the VicePresident fo. the purpose of tn- troduclng a big batch of bills. No sooner had Mir. Fairbanks said in rec ognizing Smoot. the Senator from Utah." than nearly every neck in the public galleries vas craned to get a peep at the Mormon Senator, although 1t was some moments before the aver age man and woman, knew positively that It was Smoot, for Utah has two Senators. Quickly 1t became known that the Mormon had arisen. and prob ably no man was more closely scruu- ntzed on aco prnt of the notoriety given him because of the attempt of hundreds of religious bodies to have him un- seated.
 People who want to retire Senator Shoot have already commenced to work up sentiment against him. The inves- tigation of his case was practically completed by the Privileges and Elec- tions Committee in the last Congress, but when the Committee will be ready to report or what the verdict is to be. not a member of the Committee has yet given any information on which to base reliable speculation.
 Two Republican vacancies exist on this Committee. They were caused by the death of Senator Hoar of Massachu- setts. and the expiration of the term of MT. McComas of Maryland. If there is Democratic vacancy it will be by reason of the fact that one of the Dem ocrats will ask to be transferred to some other committee. In that event probably Senator Raynor of Maryland may be assigned to Privileges and Eiec- tions. General Pettus of Alabama Is the ranking Democrat on the Commit tee. General Cockrill of Missouri, ow- ing to his thirty years service. had some Of the most desirable committee places. and now that he Is out of the Senate a mighty scramble Is going on for the places made vacant by his re- tirement.
