RELIGION AND
 THRONE UNITED

Rome, November 27.-The Ovservalore Romano publishes comments. evidently inspired by the vatican, on the discus sion yesterday in the German reichstag of the speech made by Emperor William at Koeniksberg on August 26, pointing out that the debate furnished proof of the irrefutable truth contained in the Elm peror's speech both at Koenigsberg and Beuron that the throne and altar cannot be divided in Germany. religion being necessary in the struggle against error in modern times.
 In addressing the abbot and a number of Roman Catholic dignltaries in the benedictine monastery at Beuron, the Emperor said
 "The government of Christian princes can only be carried on according to the will of the Lord. The altar and throne are closely united and must not be sepa- rated"
 The vatican official organ, in the course of comment. says:
 "The two finest speeches of the German monarch were noble, just and correct. While irreligon and demagogy imperil the principles of authority and order, it is a relief to hear certain truths noby vindicated by the authoritative and au- gust lips of a powerful sovereign

 Only three years have surpassed the year 1910 as an internal revenue pro ,ducer since the bureau was established in 1863. In 1866, while Civil war taxes were still heavy. receipts mounted up to $310.000, GOO and following the Spanish war in 1900 and 1901 they were s295. 100000 and s3O6.0Oo.00o. respectively. But for times of peace and normal prosper ity. 1910 heads t&e roll with the pros pect of being eclipsed by 1911,
 Commissioner Cabell's report. speaking of illicit distlling, says Alabama, Geor- gia, North Carolina and South Carolina lead in offenses of that character. Dur ing the year officers closed 1911 such plants, POO more than the year before.
 While the manufacture of oleormarga- rine has increased the tax receipts were disappointing to the government. That is said to be due to the fact that a large proportion of the oleomargarine is so made as to take lower tax than formerly. There are a large number of prosecutions under way charging viola ticns of the law, but Commissioner Ca- bell declared he believes they constitute only a small proportion of the real of lenses.
 Illinois led all states as a producer of internal revenue. More than $49,000,00O was collected in that state. New York was second with s36,000,000: Kentucky third with s39O00,000 and Indiana, Penn sylvania and Ohio followed in the or der named. Illinois produced most of the distilled spirits and New York pro- drced most of the fermented liquors. Commissioner Cabell recommends that the pay of revenue collectors and officers be raised to level with corresponding positions in the postal and customs service.

Rio Janeiro. Brazil, November 27.-- The city awoke this morning with a feeling of inexpressible relief. The warships of the fleet were again in the hands of the government, which last evening sent officers to take command.
 One of the sailors on the scout ship Bahia denied many of the reports con- corning the crews of the various ships taking part in the revolt and the dlf- ferences among the men which were said to have arisen. All of them, he said, were obedient to the orders Issued by the battleship Minas Geraes, and Jean Candido, the leader, was loved and respected by the entire navy.
 At no time did the mutineers have the least fear of the destroyers, which would not have fired upon their com rades, nor did they have any fear of the Actresses. which could have been silenced by the big guns on the war ships.

DlAZ EXPLAINS
 MEXICAN TROUBLE

New York, November 2s.-Presdent Por- firio Diaz of Mexico has addressed the following telegram to the editor of the New York American published here this morning:
 ''The recent riots in certain portions of Mexico are the political work of MT. Francisco I. Madero. According to the proclamations he published on throwing himself into an attempted revolution his object was to attain the presidency by force since he was unable to do so by the votes of his fellow citizens.
 This political movement will not ex- tend, since hitherto it has limited it. self to riots In Puebla, Gomez .Palacio, Parrel and Ciudad Guerrero. In all the places they have been repressed by the police and the federal forces. The rest of the republic has remained completely tranquil.
 ",rhe Mexican people love peace and understand it's benefits and will not ac- cept the revolutions. Further, the busi- ness men understand their interests would be in danger in the hands of persons who profess socialism and carry on anarchistic propaganda
 NO danger exists here either for the natives or for the foreigners, but it is very distressing that the press should publish sensational and exaggerated news which tends to cause alarm in the money markets and to damage business.
 "It cannot be said that there have been serious disturbances for even in the places where there have been riots, to which I have referred, order was re- established a few hours later and every one is attending to their affairs with no more excitement than that created by sensational newspapers. On the other hand the government is supported by public opinion and a well disciplined army.h
