Philippine tariff bill splits senate committee
Washington notes from January 1902 report that the senate finance committee split along party lines on the amended Philippine tariff bill. Democrats push for free trade with the Philippines, seeking to shape weeks of debate, while Republicans ready for any position. Additional items include a lecture praising the American army in the Philippines, Roosevelt's stance on the Schley case, and plans for Prince Henry’s Washington visit with a coordinating committee. The irrigation bill advances in caucus, and German commerce official Ludwig Guldberger surveys U.S. treasury stats. The presidential party plans a Charleston Exposition visit on Lincoln's Birthday.
