Philippine Tariff Proposal Seeks Tonnage Taxes on Vessels
Washington reports a minority Democratic bill on a Philippine tariff designed to raise revenue and aid the archipelago. The measure would make Philippine duties part of U.S. statutes, levy tonnage taxes on ships between U.S. and Philippine ports, and divert collected duties to the Philippine treasury for local use. It envisions temporary use of non U S vessels until 1905 and addresses internal revenue concerns for goods shipped to the islands.

The Minority Report on the Philippine Tariff Bill
The minority report, signed by most of the Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee, denounces the bill as imperialistic and a form of colonialism. It argues the Philippines should not be taxed under Dingley rates and questions the cost of maintaining the protectorate, claiming future expenses could reach 450 million dollars plus naval costs and 20 million paid to Spain. It also notes House action to consider the bill next Tuesday with debate ending by Wednesday. Separately, Bank of Sturgis in Kentucky suffered a $3,500 robbery after attackers blew the safe with nitroglycerin, with bloodhounds tracking the trail but failing due to rain.
