hours, the Massachusetts senator was
given close attention.
Keen interest was aroused in the ut

tprial ability of Mr.. Lodge but also as
chairman Of the Philippine commission
and prominent member Of the com
mite" on foreign relations. who had
studied the Philippine question ex-
hastiVely, he was expected TO present
a notable address to the literature 81
the great problem which now con-
fronts Congress ana the American pro-

Neither his colleagues in the Scnat"
or his other auditors were disappointed
in his address. When he had conclud-
"a he was overwhelmed with cpngrat-
ulations from both sides Of the cham
ber soon after Mr.. Lodge had con
GUIDED. the Senate adjourned out If re-
