REVOLT OF RAISULI
BY kAlD BELToN. LATE COMMANDER OF THE ARMY OF Ex.
SULTAN MULAI HAFID.

black beard and quiet, slow speech was
the notorious brigand. On one occa-
sion he asked me if l had anything to
do with his being zen for by the sui
tan, put evaded a reply and brought
up the subject of the time when he
ruled Tangier. YES" he said with a
smile. Il taught the people to fear and
respect the name OF Raisuli. Even
Your Bashadors foreign ambassadors)
were afraid of me-, n all the Filgattes
toreign cruisers) in the harbor could
not move me. To this day the people
of the Gharb still tremble at the mem
ton of my name" He complained
most bitterly at the hostile attitude
adopted toward him by the European
press. / told him this was probably
due to the harsh treatment of his cap
tives. n the ~treacherous manner i'm
which he captured Kaid Maclean.
But he replied. Il treated them we'll.
| allowed them to keep their own tents
and servants. and to get their provi-
sions from Tangier. They We're quite
comfortable"
A Moorish Success.
AS a governor he was a success ac-
cording to the Moorish standard. He
kept his district in order, n was GER
ta1nly loyal to the sultan. On the de-
position of Mulai Hafid by the French
IN August, 1912. Raisuli again began
20 get restless. He saw that Morocco
was slowly passing into the hands of
the Christians, and he resisted with all
his might the invasion of northern
Morocco by the Spaniards. In many of
the engagements with the Spanish
troops he was a conspicuous figure.
for his courage is undoubted. He is q
patriot fighting for an impossible ideal,
for I'm his opinion the worst form Of
Moorish government is preferably bet
ter than the best form of Christian rule.
His cause is hopeless, and it is only a
question of time till he must surrender
or die fighting. This would be the bet
ter end. for if he is handed over to the
puppet sultan who now reigns. his
death will be a certainty, for Raisuli is
once again a Moorish subject, and sub
ject to Moorish law. He has many
faults, but he is one OF those men with
a strong will n magnetic personality
who by sheer force of character rise
from nothing to control their fellow
men. He is the most masterful man in
Morocco today; I doubt il yer again
there will be his equal.

New York, Dec. e.-Sentiment a in financial circles was considerably heartened today by the decision of the stock exchange to resume restricted trading in stocks on Saturday. This feeling was accentuated not so much in the volume of business for bonds and stocks, which fell under the recent high level, but more particularly in the frmer tendency shown by nearly all classes of securities. Moreover, the days list of stocks submitted for publication showed several additions to that issued yesterday, indicating steady extension of the demand,
 While no apprehension was enter tained respecting the wisdom of the move made by the exchange. it may be said that every precaution to insure it's success will be taken. The fact that it has not been deemed necessary to form a money pooI'' to be used as a backstop against heavy HQuida- tion was in itself regarded as an indi- cation that offerings would find ready absorption. Another safeguard will be found in the level of prices at which all stocks over $15 may be sold
 Further demand for exchange on Berlin was the sole feature of the market for foreign remittances, cables to that center being quoted at 92 1-2 with sight drafts at 92. Dealers in exchange were practically unanimous in the belief that the recent sensa- tional movement in marks was due to German selling of our stocks in this market together with the probability of some loans for these; same inter eSts.

BRUSSELS DEPENDENT FOR ITS
 FOOD UPON UNITED STATES
Long Frozen Lines of Persons in Front
 of Soup Kitchens Show Condition.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Ninety percent of the population of Brussels is dependent for its food upon aid from the United States. according to a special despatch received by the Chicago Daily News despatch was dated November z2.
 The wretchedness of the long frozen lines of persons waiting in front of the soup kitchens, the despatch said, showed the desperate condition of the populace.
 Parents, elder borthers and sisters come to these stations to get food for their dependents" the despatch con- tinued. "They. line up in front of windows, through which girl volun- teers pass vessels. Two tots of six and seven came for milk and phosphatIne for younger children. Their shoes showed toes raw with cold through great holes.
 Economically speaking. the status of Brussels could not well be worse. Ninety percent of the bread winning population, more than 10000 people, depend for daily existence upon the soup kitchens. And this, too, despite the fact that there is bread for sale in nearly every bakery, that the pastry shops are piled high with cakes and meat and there is an abundance of fruit. At restaurants good meals may be had.
 ''Yet, at all sides, among all classes, are found hunger and despair. For ex- ample normally $500 men find employ ment in the printing trade. Today only 75 are at work, printing the mo- tices which the Germans distributed. Worst of all Is the fact that the num- Der of those reduced to dependence on public charity through the exhaustion of their own supplies will grow stead fly larger

 President Johnson. while he did not deny that the American league was negotiating with Colonel Ruppert, stat ed that the deal had not been con- summated and might yet fall through. The name of T. l.. Huston, former United States army engineer, who made fortune in Havana harbor work, also was linked with that of Colonel Ruppert in the purchase of the Yankees. MT. Huston said that he was not financially interested in tue deal, but had been consulted by Colonel Ruppert as to the advisability of pur- chasing the club. It was reported that there would be a meeting of the Amer lean league in this city on Friday, at which time transfer of the Yankees ownership would be considered from all angles and the deal possibly completed if suitable terms could be agreed upon.
 The National league magnates fail- ed to disclose any similar sensations, but number of Investigating resolu- tions were adopted at the first meet ing of the s5enior organization mag mates, in which policy of financial retrenchment was clearly discernible. An amendment to the constitution was adopted limiting the number of play CTS to be carried by any. club between the period from May to Sept. I to 21. At other times the maximum limit was IIAeQ al 50. DuTlng the season or 1913 the limit was placed at 25 and 36, but last season this rule was sus- pended in order to prevent the Federal league from obtaining promising play CTS.
 A resolution also was adopted which fixed March as the earliest date upon which & club could report for spring training, but this is understood not to cover the individual spring training of veteran pitchers who may desire to work week or two ahead of the clubs squad. The league went on record as opposed to transforming trips after the close of the season, and a commit tee was appointed to draw up a clause covering this abuse as an amendment to the constitution at the next annual meeting.
 According to Secretary HeydIer there extension of the worlds series from seven to nine games, the Federal league or the controversy between the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs regard ing the money involved in the Tinker deal of last spring.
 The league adopted a resolution granting the national association a member on the. joint playing rules committee, thus increasing the mem bership to seven. for each major league is represented by three members. A new board of directors was also elected in the persons of Barney Drevfuss C.. H. Ebbetts, Garry Hermann, James E. Gafrney and H. N. Hampstead. The league announced the receipt of an in vitation to hold the next annual meet ing in San Francisco, but this will have to be declined, since the constitu- ton requires the meeting to be held in this city each year. The reports of several committees were heard and adopted and the 1914 pennant formally awarded1toa the Boston club.

BERLIN WIRELESS REVIEWS

Says Everything is Proceeding Accord.
 ing to German Programme.

Berlin, Dec 8, by Wireless to Lon- don, TAO D. m.-A review of the situa- ton in both theatres of the war up to the end of last week reveals little change as compared with the preced. ing week. This Is especially true as regards the western theatre, where the allies made a number of attacks which always were defeated.
 That decisive action may be ex- pected any day is indicated by a re- port from headquarters saying that "everything Is proceeding according to our programme" This is taken here to mean that thus far. the German operations have been successful.
 Much encouragement has been de- rived here from the recent Russian re- ports, which are considered much less confident in tone than formerly. If an investment of Warsaw should re- suit from the present operations, mill itary men say that it will deprive Rus sia of a most important center of rail- way communications and place the Russians in a serious position.
 The Austrians apparently still are meeting with resistance in Servia, but from the Carpathians nothing new has been reported. Only skirmishing is said to be taking place in West Cali cia-

Freddie Welsh. the lightweight champion, has been a disappointment. He won the title from Ritchie on a very close decision, one In fact that was questioned by the majority of those who viewed the combat. Yet the referee decided that Welsh won; Ritchie lost, and Welsh was acclaimed the champion.
 The american followers of the box ing. game, anxious to see the king of his weight in action, crowded their way into the various arenas to see him perform. In all of his seven bouts since he annexed the title he has been an excellent drawing card. It was re- ported that in the first six bouts he earned more than $25,O00.
 The American fight fans paid this to see a champion, but as a champion he has failed to come up to the stan- dard set by his predecessors. If his performances since coming to this country are to be taken as a criterion he is greatly overrated. His bouts with Charley White, Johnny Duffy and Young Shugrue are conclusive of that. He gained clean cut decision over Freddy Yelle in Boston a few weeks ago, but that Is nothing to his credit. poor one at that. Welsh stopped Vol gast Tn eight rounds. but Ads injured hand forced him to quit not the blows of Welsh.
 It is reported that Welsh's next op- ponent will be Joe Mandot, and he will take him on in championship battle over the 20-round route. Mandot is a clever lightweight, but has found the going hard of late. Probably Welsh, looking for something easy, and not wishing to endanger his title, has evaded Charley White and Young Shu- grue for a battle over the champion ship route.
 But Welsh's last fight with Young Shugrue convinced the fans that he was not a champion of the first order The youthful Jerseyite outfought and outslugged him in eight of the ten rounds, and in the other wto earned a draw. Welsh received a real beating for a champion
