Imports Protest Sewall Report on State Department Scope
A joint letter from several Honolulu importing houses questions a statement attributed to Harold M. Sewall regarding a report to the State Department. Merchants deny knowledge of a scheme to exploit the new tariff, noting they seek clarity on who would load up to profit from tariff changes. The article notes mercantile speculation on when the U S tariff would apply to Hawaii and mentions the Japanese tramp steamer Konoura Mara sailing from Yokohama with migrants and freight to the port.

Bill to Extend Laws for Hawaii Tariff and Navigation
The bill introduced in the House by Rep Payne on Dec 6 would extend U S customs commerce and navigation laws to the Hawaiian Islands ceded to the United States. It creates a Hawaii district with Honolulu as the port of entry and a collector of customs, and authorizes the Navigation Commission to regulate nationalization of vessels owned by residents of the ceded islands. The measure also governs coastal trade with other U S districts.
