CaImer Judgment is Replacing
 the Uncertainty
ARE LIGHTER
Speeches of Roosevelt and Taft Are Read With Interest In Wall Street But Affect Prices
 Very Little.

New York. August e5.-The feeling of apprehension with which the stock mar ket began the week has been replaced by calmer judgment. There was much less liquidation and few signs, save in is- olated instances of selling by those whose margins were impaired or whose conh- dence in the future had fallen into lower point. Such improvement as was shown, however. was largely sentimental. based on the belief that prices have dis counted all the most adverse conditions that may arise and that henceforth there will be less political agitation, or at least less response on the part of investors to what have formerly been regarded as disturbing policies. The speeches of Sec retary Taft at Columbus on Monday and President Roosevelt at Provincetown were read with great interest in Wall street, but their effect on the market was slight
 Much more interest attached to the general credit situation since it became apparent that the market was slowly but surely delivering itself from purely po-

 OF THE SITUATION
PRESIDENT EMiER CLEMENCEAU RETURNS FROM CARL sBAD AND MUNICH. NO CHANGE IN CON. OPTIONS AT CASA BLANCA.

Paris, August 25-Pren CT clemen- ceau. who returned from Carlsbad and Munich today has assumed active direc- tion or the Moroccan situation, which developed during his absence. He con- ferred with Foreign Minister Pichon. War Minister Picquart and Marine Min ister Thomson, who met him at the sta ton and tomorrow will go to Ram bouillet to see President Fallieres.
 The Journal Des Debats, in an edi- torial as to the effect of M. clemen- ceau's return on the Moroccan sitna- tion. says:
 He knows the sentiments and the dispositions of the chancellors He ought to know that politics today not only are most uncertain, but also most costly and that calm and conservatism are essential"
 Advices received today from Casa Blanca show no change in the situation. The troops are anxious for n decisive engagement with the trbesmen. but Frances determination not to pene- trate far into the country prevents pur- suit of the fanatics and results in A waiting game Meantime the state of Morocco's internal affairs is growing worse Veritable chaos reigns and the government has degenerated into 4 mere mock administration.
 Mulai Hang. the newly proclaimed Sultan. who is reported to be march . ing toward the coast to fight the French and Spanish troops. has ap- pointed d ministry, Il member of which is Mulai Sidi Mohammed another brother of the actual Sultan. who is now held a prisoner by the Sultan at Fez.
 Raisuli controls his own region and the pretender rules north east Morocco The Sultan Is not sure of his own foot hold, and anarchy pervades the empire The littoral towns are tranquil because of the presence of foreign war ships but Rabat is reported to be constantly menaced by tribesmen who are ready to swoop down upon 1t at the first op- portunity.

VIII Study Conditions on tha
 ISthmuS of Panama
ID ESTIMATE APPROPRIATION
Progress of Work on Canal Is Said to Exceed Present Appropriation By About Eight Million
 Per Year

Washington. August @.-An cxamina- ton of the ground preparatory to est. mates for the appropriation for conduct ing work on the Panama canal. submitted by Secretary Taft for the fiscal year l9o9, Is to be made by members of tho next Congress, who will charge in charge the preparation of the sundry civil bill, in which the appropriation for the canal Is incorporated
 The proposed visit to the canal is the outcome of a suggestion from Represen- tative James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the appropriations commit tee in the last Congress, who was at the isthmus following the adjournment last March.
 The suggestion has met with a hearty response from those identified with the commissions work who believe that q great deal of good will result from heart to heart talk between the congressman who prepare the appropriations and the officials who spend 1t and thus clear away in advance any misapprehensions or misunderstandlngs that may exist as 10 the justness and propriety of allowing the money estimated to be necessary for the work
 Of particular important Is tho proposed visit regarded at the present time, when the question Is now before the President whether the commission can lawfully ex- pend during the present fiscal year any more money than was specifically ap- propriated, Colonel Goethals having re- ported to the authorities in Washington that the work has progressed so rapidly that il will be in the interest of true economy to exceed that amount to the ex- tent Of sS00o. and by reason of which he thinks years time will be saved in lhe eouple'pn ef the great waterways. Onielais he,t think Congress may as a result of the observations Of the members. Of the appropriation to the isthmus. pro vide legislation under which work may proceed regardless of the appropriation If this authority does not already exist The committee will leave New York No vember and return to Washington in time for the opening of Congress.
 Panama August 25.-The number of men employed in the divisions of building, construction. municipal work and engi- herring of the Panama canal have been reduced by -a per cent because the ap- propriaton is less this year than last anu also because the work in these divi- slons is largely completely.

Controversy Over Former Governors Return as Witness on Eve of Political Campaign Has
 1ouble Significance.
JOHN R. HoRNADY.

k- :. vile, Ky, August 25.-(Special,) E, believes that former Governor
 s. Taylor. who has been in exile in Indiana for about seven years, will re- turn to Kentucky and stand trial. for the reason that the conditions which he lays down in his offer to do so are regarded as impossible. In fact, 1t Is the opinion among democrats that Mr. Taylor's letter, in which he agrees to return if the "one hundred thousand dollar corruption fund Is returned to the treasury" and he Is guaranteed fair trial by jury of six democrats and six republicans. and before an up right and impartial judge and on the testimony of witnesses who are free from indictment. was written chiefly for political effect and with a view to exciting sympathy and that he has no idea that It's conditions can be com piled with.

Interest Increased.

The controversy over the return of Taylor and the trial of Caleb Powers, coming at a time when a state political campaign is getting well under way, serves to increase the interest felt in the famous case, and this latest incl dent will no doubt cut an important figure in the political fortunes of nu- merous candidates. There Is pathos in the statement of Taylor which Is not lost upon his friends, and they are once more keenly aroused to the injustice" which they claim has been done him. His expression: Memories tender, dear and sad bind my heart to my old Ken tucky home, where the ashes of my kindred sleep" has deeply touched his old followers. They would be glad to see him again, out from under the cloud which has overshadowed him since the turbulent days of blood-let- ting. when the life of William Goebel was sacrificed on the alter of political pa ssions and they feel a kindling Of the old flame of passion which follow ed the exile of their chief. The dem ocrats. however, who recall those days, perhaps the darkest in the political history of the commonwealth. and re- member the part that Taylor Is be- lieved by them to have had in the B. ga ssination of Governor Goebel, are unmoved. Merely a play of sympathy,
 they say Ion the part of man who wished to evade conviction at the bar of public sentiment after escaping trial by fleeing to another state.
