Why Secretary of War Pleads for Large Army
Secretary of War Garrison urges a larger regular army and a more powerful navy to safeguard the republic. He argues that rapid modern warfare requires bigger forces, stronger reserves, and expanded naval capacity. He cites Port Arthur and battlefield lessons to warn that delays could invite rapid, decisive enemy actions near U.S. shores. The piece stresses citizen soldiers plus enhanced naval forces as essential for security.

Rate Increase Dominates Week in Securities Markets New York
A week of notable market activity centers on the Interstate Commerce Commission decision granting increased freight rates for eastern railroads, affecting over 100 roads. Despite coal and iron ore exclusions, rates rise roughly 4 to 4 percent, spurring a partial market rebound after early gains. Monetary signals improve as cotton exports rise and foreign exchange shifts with the improving trade balance, while railroad dividends and November traffic income disappoint. Winter wheat conditions from government reports offset some gains.
