OUR COMMERCIAL FUTURE.
Senator Lodge Declares We VIII
Lead the Entire World.

Lead the Entire World.
Washington, Jan. 8.-A notable
speech was delivered in the senate
yesterday by Mr.. Lodge, Of Massachu-
setts. Discussing the Philippines
question: and the necessity for an
army of 100000 men, he drew a bril-
liant word picture of the commercial
future of the United States, declaring
that the trade conflict with Europe
already begun could result only in the
commercial and economic supremacy
of this country over the entire world.
In this Industrial conflict he appre
hended 10 danger from material con-
test with any nation of the world, but
he urged the necessity for a strong
and scientifically organized army and
a powerful navy, in order that the Uni
ted States might be prepared to defend
its rights against any possible foe. The
speech created a profound impression.
The animated debate in the house on
the reappOrtiOnment of representa- ton
from the various states is nearing its
close, it being unanimously agreed
yesterday that the final vote would be
taken before the session closes today.
There may be a slight change in the
bill giving an additional member each
to Florida, Colorado and North Da-
kota, bringing the total membership
up to $50.

The property interests for which Mr..
Armour stood are estimated at $780,

property is varicusly estimated at from
$25, ,000,0O0 to S50,000,0O0.
In works of charity Mr. Armours
monument will be found in the Armour

an investment on the part of Mr.. Ar
