RAISULI IS BUSY
 BURNING VILLAGES
MooRIsH TROOPS ARE SAID TO BE PoWERLEss TO PREVENT HIS DEPREDATIoNs AND NAL TREATMENT OF. TRAVELLERS.

Tangier. January 27,--eighting has be- gun In the environs. of I'ansier between the Anjera tribesmen and members of Raisulfs band.
 Tribesmen have burned three villages east of Tangier, and are now marching in force to attack Raisuli at his fortress in Znal.
 A transport has left for Adjercud where 1t will discharge artillery and gunners for Oujda
 Raisuli's partisans infest the roads in the vicinity of Tangier and murder or maltreat travellers in open defiance of the authorities. The Moorish troops are powerless. Most of their horses have died for want of forage and there have been numerous assertions owing to non-pay- ment of arrearages in their salaries
 A convoy with s25ooO has arrived at Oujda to pay Mohalla's troops who had threatened to leave unless arrears were paid. This seems to indicate that the Sultan fears renewed activity on the part of the pretender. oudja being the spot he is expected to attack first.

FOLK EXPLAINS THE
 INSURANCE ERROR
HE NAMES SEVERAL COMPANIES, HOWEVER, WHICH HAVE MADE CONTRIBUTIONS TO NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, CAMPAIGN FUND.

New York January N.-Insurance Com missioner Folk of Tennessee, who has been in New York for the past week con- ferring with the New ork insurance committee, issued a statement tonight relative to a news dispatch from Nash vile, Tenn, in which a number of insur- ance companies were enormously mem toned in connection with contributions to campaign funds. and the influencing of the legislation. The companies named in error, said MT. Folk, were the Germania Life, the Massachusetts Mutual Life the Mutual Benefit of Newark, N. J.. the Northwestern Mutual Life of Milwau- kee, the United States Life and the Union Central Life.
 Commission Folk said;
 ''The companies which had admitted contributing to campaign funds were as follows: The Mutual Life of New York. an aggregate of $90,000 to the national re- publican committee to the campaigns of 1896, 1900 and 1904, and s2500 in 1904 to the republican congressional committees; the Prudential $26,000 to the republican com mittee for the last three national cam paigns; the Penn Mutual, $1O,00O in 1896; the Metropolitan, $7500; the Aetna, $15O0 in the three campaigns, and the Provi- dent Savings, $500 in 1900, all to the re- publican national campaign committee. The Home Life admitted a contribution of $1O0OO in 1S96 distribution of literature in defense of the gold standard.
 "At least two other companies have contributed to the campaign funds, the Equitable and the New York Life Ten nessee is making an investigation into the affairs of the New York insurance com panies in connection with the states of Wisconsin, Kentucky, Minnesota and Ne braska.
 with reference to political contribu- tions it is my belief that the state or Tennessee ought to take prompt and ef- fective steps to secure the restitution or the funds thus illegally diverted from the treasuries of the companies by the or ficers responsible for this diversion or funds. To this effect I wrote on Janu- ary 17 to the several companies anecteu, notifying them that it is essential Tor them that they comply with this runns and put themselves within the law

Antl.prummIna Law vaIId.

Little Rock, Ark, January 27-The supreme court of Arkansas today de- clared valid the state law passed in 1903 prohibiting the drumming of pa tlents to physicians. Tn the chancery court at Hot Springs the law had been declared unconstitutional, and from that decision an appeal was taken and today's final action reverses the lower courts opinion. It is held that the Visitors Protective Association of Hot Springs was engaged in lawful under taking in endeavoring to have this law enforced and should not have been en- joined from so doing by the lower court.

PACKERS CLAIM
 THEY ARE VICTIMS
WERE GIVEN NO OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE STATEMENT IN CON. NEcTloN WITH STORY OF RRlB- FRY OF CHICAGO REPORTER.

Chicago. January 27-John s. Miller, counsel for Armour & CO. in the trial now proceeding in the federal court, gave out the following statement today with refer ence to the correspondence given out at Washington yesterday by the department of justice In connection with the charge that former Judge George W. Brown, counsel for Nelson Morris & Co.,, had paid out money to two newspaper men in an attempt to procure a biased report in the court proceedings;
 'The first Knowledge or information direct or indirect coming to us of this alleged incident was received from the press Moreover, any statement or sug- gestion from any source that any efforts whatever have been at any time made or countenaneed by us directly or indirect ly, to poison the public mind by dissem- mating false and misleading statements, is baseless.
 We have at all times been the victims of the press. If the carefully staged meth cd resorted to of presenting this alleged incident to the public at time when the current trial in the court here Is going on appears ODNlouS lO SuBs6 du ehoi |, Hol only to poison the public mind against us, but to affect this trial to our prejudice, we should like to add the fact that we were not given the least opportunity be- fore such publication of showing that we had no connection with the incident, or knowledge or intlmation with respect to it."
 Edward Morris of the firm Nelson Nor ris Co.,, also gave out statement denying positively and unequlvocally that any one connected with Nelson Morris x Co.,, knew anything whatever about the occurrence, and had absolutely no con- nection herewith.
 w. J. Hines. attorney for Swift & Co.,. In a statement today said:
 '"The first time that l or the packing company l represent heard or knew any thing about this matter. was from this mornings papers. The charge or intima- tion that money gifts made had any relations whateyer to the trial or case of the packersl is preposterous."

WORD FROM RUSSELL.
Contains No Reference to the Expul
 sion of TaIgny.

Washington, January 27.-An un- dated cablegram from American Minis ter Russell of Caracas, was received at the state department today, but 1t con tained no mention of the note reported to have been delivered by the diplo- matic body at Caracas to the Venezue- Ian government relative to the expul- sion of M. Taigny.
 Hence, it Is inferred at the depart ment that MT. Russell was not party to the conference. It is thought that he would have consulted the depart ment before taking action as import ant as that described. for 1t is by no means improbable that President Cas- tro might be impelled to eject the en- tire diplomatic corps from his capital in a fit of resentment.
