COLLECTIONS DISCONTINUED.
No More Duties Imports from the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The secretary of
the treasury to-day issued the following
circular of instructions to collectors of
customs regarding the refund of duties col
lected on imports from the Philippine
islands:
Referring to the recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States rela-
tive TO importations from the Philippine
islands / have to confirm the Department.
telegram of the Sd inst, as follows: Dis
continue requirement entry and collection
of duty on merchandise shown by manifest
of vessel to be shipped from Philippines.
Allow free delivery of goods in bond. De-
tain cigars and cigarettes until internal
revenue stamps are affixed under Circulars
81 and 50, current year. Refunds will be
made by certified statement where protests
are duly fled With regard to the matter
of refunds have to state that in addition
to the forwarding of certified statements S
above directed you will forward certified
statements in cases where no protests have
been filed when so requested by the parties
IN interest, with view TO submitting esti-
mates for appropriation to Congress should
il be found that no existing appropriation
is available"
Secretary Root is taking counsel with
some of the Republican party leaders in the
preparation of a programme to meet the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court in the insular
cases. 1t is said that the present purpose
is to legislate Immediately TO define with
precision the status of the Philippines from
the cases decided on Monday-the Pepke
fourteen diamond rings" case nor the
Dooley case-aftirmed denied the right
Of the Philippine authorities to collect du-
ties on goods entering Manila from the
United States, the officials of the War De-
partment in the absence of legislation in
tend to continue the collection of the duties
at the present rate at Manila.
The financial officers at the department
who have looked Into the trade figures for
the past three years find that the sum Of
81 900, goo represents about the total of the
duties collected from Spaniards on goods
arriving a. Manila, which might have to be
refunded in the event that it should ulti-
mately be held that the collection OF duties
on American goods there was illegal. The
SpaniardS would secure a like liquidation
under the terms of the peace treaty guaran-
teeing them equal rights with American
merchants in the Philippines.
President Roosevelt to-day entertained a
distinguished company at luncheon. Among
the guests were Mayor-elect Low, of New
York, Senators Depew, Plat and Frye,
Secretaries Root and Hay, Attorney Cen
eral Knox, Ambassador Choate, Represent
alive Littauer, Of New York, and Mr.. Cor
telyou.
The decision Of the Supreme Court in the
Philippines case was discussed and the con-
clusion reached to have bill introduced at
once in Congress to correct the situation at
San Francisco by levying a duty on goods
coming from the Philippines, and, If neces-
sary, to further legalize the present duty
on goods entering the Philippines.

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS MOST IMPOR-
TANT.

Among many distinguishing features of
President Roosevelt's message there is
none more conspicuous than the insistent
way in which it emphasizes the superior
Importance of domestic affairs over foreign
relations. No previous message by any
President ever did this to the same extent.
II had become an established custom for
our Presidents to give what might be called
the place of honor in their messages to our
foreign relations, making it the first princi-
pal topic of treatment as If it were the
most important. President Roosevelt
scarcely refers to the subject at all. After
speaking appropriately of the tragic death
of Mr.. Mckinley and disposing of the sub
ject of anarchism he passed at once TO con-
slider Industrial conditions and the great
social and economic problems growing out
OF them-the relations Of capital and labor,
trusts, the welfare OF wage earners, the Sc
cret of our commercial success, how to ex-
tend and prolong it, etc. Then he treats in
succession the American immigration laws,
American tarin policy, American merchant
marine, American currency, American for
est protection and irrigation, the American
army and navy, and so on to the end, max
ing American affairs and interests prom
inent above all others. The Presidents
idea seemed to be that as a young, growing
and undeveloped nation our chief concern
Is with domestic and not with foreign af-
fairs, and that our time can be far more
profitably spent in making the most of our
selves and our opportunities than in worry
ing about our foreign relations. Or, to put
it in another form, If we take care of our
domestic relations, developing cur material
resources to the utmost and establishing
and maintaining the highest possible stand
ard of political virtue and American citi-
zenship, our foreign relations will take care
of themselves. ''An we want is peace"
says the President. Again: Probably no
other nation in the world is so anxious for
peace as we are" And still again: 1.-The
true end OF every great and free people
should be self-respecting peace" With
peace and steady adherence to high ideals
the President foresees the building up of a
nation which will be so happy, prosperous
and powerful that it can afford to be equal
ly Indifferent TO the smiles or frowns of
other powers. His placing of domestic af-
fairs over foreign is the keynote of TWEEN
tieth century Americanism.

VIEWS OF MR.. MACK.
He Says the Democrats Cannot Afford
to Change Platform Every Minute.

LAKEWOOD, n. J., Dec. 4.-National
Democratic committeeman Norman L.
Mack of New York. said to-day with refer
ence to the Mcclellan and Fitzgerald reso-
lutions that the Democratic national plat
form of 1900 would stand until new one
was made, and nothing but harm and dis
ruptiOn to the party could come from any
attempt to change IL until il is done by the
representatives Of all Democrats in the ma
tional convention in 1904, for unless the
Democrats of Eastern States stand by the
last declaration of the party dominated by
the Southern and Western States, there
would be no good reason why the South
and West should abide by the national plat
form dominated by the Eastern States in
1so4-if they should succeed in controlling
and dominating the convention. The fact
OF the matter is" he said, that the Dem
ocratic party cannot afford 10 change it's
national platform every minute. If il does
not stand by the present one for four years
what assurance Will the people have that it
will stand by the next one for four years !?
L don't mean by this that the 1904 campaign
would not be conducted on issues entirely
different from those of 1900"

PRESBYTERIANS DIVIDED
so FAR UNABLE TO AGREE on THE
SUBJECT OF REVISION.
Full Committee Now Framing n Brief
Statement of Doctrine-Other
Religious Gatherings.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The wide d.
versity of views Of leaders OF the Presby-
terrain Church on the subject of revision
of the creed was demonstrated when the
committee of twenty appointed by the Gen
eral Assembly to effect this work and sub
nit it to the next Assembly began its Ia
bors here to-day. 1t was found that none
or the members OF any subcommittee or
section had united on any report or state
ment and had progressed no further than
the expression Of individual views. Inc
general committee decided TO transact its
work in full committee instead OF using the
further services Of these subcommittee.
The committee held several meetings dur
ing the day, all the proceedings being m
executive session.
The following attended the meeting: The
Rev. Drs. H. c. Minton, San Francisco;
Herrick Johnson, Chicago; D. ". Fisher,
Hanover. Ind; William McKibbin, Cincin-
natl; George B. Stewart. Auburn, N Y;
S. p Sprecher, Cleveland: D. w. Monat
Fort Wayne, Ind; John Dewitt, Princeton
N. j.; ]. Ross Stevenson, Chicago; S. b.
Mccormick, Cedar Rapids. Ia. and the
following lay members: Associate Justice
Harlan Of the United States Supreme
Court; ex-Secretary of State John w. Fos-
ter; Hon. d. Il. Noyes, st. Paul, MINI
Judge Z. W. Humphrey, Louisville, KY;
Elisha Fraser. Detroit, Mich; Charles L

Crabbe. Pittsburg. The following members
are expected here tomorrow; Rev DTS
Charles A. Dickey, Philadelphia; S. j.
Nichols st. Louis; Henry Van Dyke,
Princeton, n. J.; John Z. Parsons, North
Carolina.
The full committee began this afternoon
the work of framing the brief statement
of doctrine. The present long creed or
the church will be considered article by ar
ticle. The statement will comprise about
loo words, and it is stated will be couched
in language so simple and meaning so
clear as to be easily understood by all
lay members, constituting practically a
popular summary of the formal creed
itself
The members of the committee will call
President Roosevelt tomorrow and VIII
be given a reception on Dec. 10 In Balu-
more by the Presbyterian Union or That
city. There also will be a reception next
Friday evening by former Secretary of
State Foster, and dinner Saturday night
Covenant of this city.
At the afternoon session of the committee
work was begun on the preparation of the
proposed statement of the doctrine for pop
ular use. The committees views are that
this statement should be composed of about
twenty paragraphs. and when the session
had concluded for the day only one Of these
Paragraphs had been agreed upon.

Capital, Surplus, Undivided Profits
and Borrowed Money Must Be
Returned for Taxation.
INSTRUCTIONS FROM MR.. GAGE
NO CUSTOMS DUTIES ON IMPORTS
FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Supreme Court Decision Discussed mt
the White House-Cubans
Want Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The commits
decision in which he holds that bankers
must return for taxation capital. surplus,
undivided profits and borrowed money used
in the business of banking. The commits
sioner holds that capital is taxable whether
invested, as in the case of the United
States bonds or the bank building, or cir
culating as in the case Of money, including
money borrowed; also surplus, including
undivided profits.
In providing that surplus shall be in
cluded as capital the decision says, 1T
is obviously the purpose of the law to have
the tax imposed apply TO money used or
employed by banks, as capital in carrying
on their business. Money borrowed by
banks. and used capital, is held to be
taxable and it is clearly no less liable to
tax because of the fact that il is bor-
rowed by bank from its own undivided
profits. The fact that surplus so used con-
slsts wholly or in part of undivided profits,
or that such undivided profits have, or
have not been 70. mally set apart for such
use seems wholly immaterial, so far as the
purpose Of the act is concerned. 1t is the
use, and not the authority to use, that
brings such profits within the taxing pro-
visions of the act.
Banks should. therefore, return for
taxation the capital, the surplus fund, their
Undivided profits or other profit and loss
account, except so much thereof may be
actually necessary and has been set apart
to meet ascertained liabilities and loss, or
to pay dividends actually declared by the
directors of the bank, TO pay taxes, or to
pay fixed annual charges, such as salaries
and other necessary annual expenses"

SECRETARY CAGES REPORT.

Secretary Gage informs Congress that
the surplus the present fiscal year will be
about $1OOO00,000, one-half of which must
be applied to the sinking fund. leaving
$50, 600, 900 to be disposed of by reduction
of revenue. He recommends that the
taxes imposed in 1898, with the exception Of
the increase on malt liquors, be repealed,
which will dispose of s27,5000OO. He esti-
mates the expenditures for the fiscal year
which will end June 30. 1902, will be s472, OO0,-
600, or nearly sSS,OOO,OOO less than the last
fiscal year, showing that the surplus is
largely due to declining expenditures.
The secretary devotes considerable at
tention to the national banking system.
While the system is admirably adapted to
seasons of prosperity he deems it made
quate in seasons of peril. A bank fails
or a firm goes to the wall, thereupon un-
certainty prevails, banks curtail their
credits, and business is checked and fac
tories closed. While Secretary Gage does
not recommend central bank, a plan
which does not lack advocates, he sug-
gests a defensive union by all the banks
in a given territory to protect any one of
their number from suspension. He calls
attention TO the fact that upon the basis
of the issue Of currency by national banks
secured by United States bonds, bank note
currency has nearly reached it's limit, and
that some other plan must be adopted to
supply the currency required by increas-
ing population. Mr.. Cages plan for the in
81 Ia cir lot ic hot
any bank. depositing with the govern
ment 80 per cent. of it's capital in United
States bonds and 20 per cent. in legal
tender notes, shall be entitled to issue
circulation notes to amount equal TO its
paid-in and unimpaired capital, banks is
suing such notes to pay into the treasury
in trust an amount equal to one-ffth OF
1 per cent. on their capital stock, which
shall be a guaranty fund for the notes Of
any involved bank. This is different from
some Of the other plans for the issue of
bank notes upon the assets OF banks One
of the objects of this plan is to place the
greenbacks where the treasury will not
be called upon to redeem them when pre-
scented. Such redemption causes no diff
fculty now, but it has in the past and may
again. The secretary enters into an ar
gument to show that the notes of banks
under the plan proposed will be as safe
for the holder as are the notes OF such
institutions under the existing law.
The secretary favors the encouragement
of a merchant marine, not in the form of
the Frye ship-subsidy bill, but by the pay
ment of graded bounties on mileage navi-
gated by American vessels while engaged
in the foreign carrying trade. This is
much the same plan as that put into oper-
alton by the Harrison administration but
set aside by its successor.

A NEEDED RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

The Journals record of opposition to use
less and extravaganza appropriations for
river and harbor Improvements is so clear
that it feels free to approve those which
are needed. OF this class is the proposed
Improvement of the Ohio river between
New Albany and Cincinnati by the con-
struction OF movable dams at such points
as will insure a boating stage of water
during the entire year. Owing TO changed
conditions caused by the removal OF forests.
etc. the Ohio. like all other streams. car
ries so much less water than formerly that
1t has ceased TO be the reliable highway
Of traffic that IL once was. and can only
be made so by artificial means. The causes
which have produced this condition were
referred to by the President IN his recent
message. when in discussing forests and
