TAFT AND FoRAKER.
The Breach win Be Healed And 2
 Senator Take The stump


 The Breach wIi Be Healed And The
 Senator Take The stump.
 Washington Special
 That Senator Foraker will go orilt stump in Ohio and make the effoft of his life to carry that State Tor the Re- by Republicans high in the councils Of the party. There have been recent cofi- ferences among influential Republcans on national affairs, and they have tend" ed strongly to. bring about this result. On the other hand. it is hoped bg his friends that Senator Foraker Is to have the support of Mr. Taft and other lead CTS in Ohio politics for the senatorship. As soon as the convention had ponni- mated Taft and Sherman. the problem involved about Mir. Foraker's campaign in behalf of the negro soldiers Of the 25th Regiment became a matter of es- pecial interest to the Republican lead CTS, and was one of the first things 10 receive attention. It was recognised that unless the negro voters of Ohio should turn out and give their full voting strength to the Republican ticket that State might be endangered. cent of them remain at home and not vote at all, Republican supremacy in that State would be jeopardiSed. For that reason it was insisted upon that MT. Foraker should actively go on the stump, and make at least one or two speeches in which he would direct his remarks toward the interests of the negro voters. In this speech, 1t is be- lieved, he will advise them that their only hope for legislation enabling the President to reinstate the negro troops will be in securing a Republican Con gress. Not only that, but a Republi- can President. he will tell tnenl Is their only hope of fair treatment Both the F'oraker and the Warner bills for the re- instatement of the negroes will come up for action next December. lie will tel them that If the Sixth first Congress is to be a Democratic Congress, there will be every incentive for Democrats on the Brownsville affair, and in that way their interests will be shown to be wrapped up in Republican supre- macy.
 Word has been passed around among Republicans here concerning this pros pect of reconciliation between the Taft and the Foralxer factions in Ohio, and the fact that it is believed they will | be found working thoroughly in har- nlony is causing a great deal of favor able comment among men wno are talk Ing an active part in the campaign

The Hartford Times doesn seem to think that Taft Is going to be domin- ated by Roosevelt. There is." it says. "already evident tremendous sense of relief in Repuolied circles that the era of shrieling med Il-somGness and disorder (to quote the Hon. Samuel W. MccalD is coming to an end. Mir
 Taft will have to keep up a certain at- tude of respect for tn. present to- ward the man whose place he expects S to take next March. but he is too acute not to understand why the conssrva- tive Republicans are 'se ing so good. and what it Is they are expecting" .

Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 29.-Although
market views seemed rather diverg-
ent this morning, another urgent cov-
ering movement by the shorts
brought about a resumption of yes
terdaY's buying operations and all the
leading issue moved upward. South
ern Pacific common, maintained its
recent reputation by establishing a
new high record, while Union Pa
cffic sold above its recent high prices.
The movement in the Harriman's
seemed to carry along the balance of
the list. There vas no little selling
for profits but this made only a slight
impression, the market closing active
and strong at practically the days
best quotations. Today's market
would indicate that virtually all Of
the early weeks short interest has
been wiped out and that traders are
almost soltdly arrayed on the bull
list. There were no important news
developments during the day, but ru-
mors We're again busy with the story

earnings by the railway of S432, 900,

S232.00O. A computation was made
by the financial Chronicle of eighty
nine railroads for June reports on
average net loss Of 9.39 per cent.
While almost every road made heavy
gross losses, the net decrease was
greatly diminished by reason of the
drastic methods employed to cut
down expenses. The bank statement

reflect the shifting of accounts that
