TARIFF TREATY NOW SIGNED
Hegotiatloni Between United Stttea and
' China Beach Final Settlement
WEANS ESTABLISHMENT OF "OPEN DOOR"
Compart Ivesiotlated by F. S. Char
retta, Who Briefly Inform Mate
Department of Its Conaum
snatloa oa August 18,
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. The State de
partment haa received a dispatch from T.
B. Sharretts, the treasury expert who wbi
ommlsslotied by the State department to
negotiate a tariff treaty between the Uni
ted Statea and China, stating that the
treaty was signed. -on the l:,ln Instant, and
that he would Ball for the United Statea
en the Drat steamer.
The announcement contained In Mr. Shar
retta' brief dispatch to the State depart
ment brings to a successful conclusion, ne
gotiation which have been In progress for
many months for a tariff treaty between
China andnhls country. It waa stipulated
as one of the features of the peace agree
ment between China and the foreign pow
ers, at the. cloas of the Boxer outbreak,
that an entirely new fabric to the trade
treaties should be made.
This carried out the purpose ' Secretary
Hay had maintained throughout the pre
ceedlng negotiations for an "open door,"
the desire being to open up foreign commu
nications with the Interior of China and
thua gain access to the trait markets of
the empire.
Following the conclusion of the pesco
arrangements, Mr. Sharretts wss selected
to carry on the tariff negotiations In behalf
of the United States. This selection wss
due to his long familiarity with tariff af
fairs, as he had assisted In the framing of
recent tariff legislation before congress,
and bad also served aa on of the general
appraisers of New York. He went to China
about a year ago, and has stnoe been en
gaged In working out the details of a tariff
agreement.
It was announced about a month ago
' that the British commissioners had con
cluded a tariff treaty with China, and tt
was understood at that time that the Brit
ish treaty would aerve as a basts for simi
lar treaties with the United Statea and other
foreign countries. Th State department
was advised at the time that the rates
on Imports entering China were U per
cent and -the export duties 1 per cent.
One of the most Important provisions of
the British-China treaty was that abolish
ing .the Llkln tax. It 'Is presumed that
similar rates are made In th American
treety, and that th LI kin tax Is abolished
as far as It relate t American goods in
transit The Llkln tax has been one of th
moat burdensome exactions of the antiquat
ed Chinese systems, as It was levied by
the officials at various points through the
Interior, without uniformity, and often with
less regard for commercial ends than for
th enrichment of the unscrupulous local
official. The abolition of th Llkln tax
will go far- toward encouraging foreign
trade and traffic In th interior of China.
Mr. Sharretts' dispatch le dated at Shang
hai, and does not go into details regard
ing the treaty he has signed.
LONDON, Aug. 18. In a dispatch from
Shanghai the correspondent of the Times
say the protocol of the tariff treaty was
signed yesterday (Saturday) by th British,
American, German and Japanese represent?
atlves without reservation and by the Aus
trian, Gengtan and Dutch representatives
ad referendum.
This action, continues the Times corre
spondent, was principally due to the Amer
ican commissioner (T. 8. .Sharretjts) desir
ing to conclude the business before return
ing to the United States..' ; , .
The Chinese commissioners, lacking Im
perial sanction, did not sign the protocol;
therefore, if China modifies It, the signa
tures affixed yesterday will be void.
The document provides that the new tar
iff becomes operatlv November 1. Portu
gal, add the correspondent, Complicates the
'situation by claiming a concession of two
small Islands near Macao and the right to
build a railroad from Macao to Canton a
a quid pro quo for her acceptance of th
new tariff. This Incident, says th repre
sentative of the Times In conclusion, Illus
trates the difficulty underlying thl whole
question.
China' Exhibit Unprecedented.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 17. Liu Kun Tl, Chang

spectively of Nan Kin, Han Kow and gov
ernor of Pe Chi U, In separate conferences
with John Barrett, commissioner general of
'Asia of tha St. Louis exposition, have eon
currsl In making two significant and un
equivocal declarations. The Brat la that
th critical time has arrived when China
must make a supreme effort for th promo

with America and Europe; th second dec

msn, who was arrested -yesterday la con
nection with tha Bartholln-Mltchell mur
der mystery, wat subjected to a rigid ex
amination today by Inspector Hunt, bat
told nothing that would throw any light on
ths ease. Counsel ma a contradicted him
self several times, but he msds no Incrim
inating admissions. After an hour's ques
tioning, Counselman finally blurted out:
"If I Itnew where William Bartholin was, 1
would not tall you."
Counselman evaded an explanation of
why he abused his wife when she refused
to return to him th letter that ha had
received from Bartholin July 11, summoning
mm to Bartholin's bom, five days after
the murder of Mrs. Bartholin. Inspector
Hunt still believes that Counselman has
soms knowledge of th mystery, and will
subject th prisoner to another examina
tion. V

and still declared their Innocence..
Th most Important, point develooed In

the knowledge of th young man's mother
who had ordered him to atay away from tha

ROME, Aug. 17. Th pop la in such good
health that It la thought not necessary to
uspend the Sunday audiences, as has
hitherto been the custom. In order to give
the pontiff strength for a fatiguing cere
mony such aa the Great Nam day recep
tion of today. Dr. Lapponl, tha pope's phy
sician, insisted, however, upon limiting the
number of guests to 800 instead of the
usual 600.
Tha efforts to obtain invitations to the
Name day reception were so persistent anl
came from such high quarters that ths
pontiff, hearing of them, overruled his phy
sician's advice and bad an additional 100
guests included.
The Innumerable letters and telegrams of
felicitation received by the pontiff Included
communications from Emperor Francis Jo
seph of Austria and King Alfonso of Spain.
The communication from the king of Spain
was the first missive sent to his godfather
by King Alfonso since his coronation.
The pop held the reception In his pri
st library. He ahowed no signs of fa
tigue and spoke with almost every one
present. He appeared to be unusually an
imated and recognised the Rt. Rev. Benja
min J. Kelley, bishop of Savannah, Ga., wha
was th only American present, Immedi
ately he perceived him. The pope said to
Btshop Kelley: "I am glad to see you again
before you leave."
Bishop Kelley told a representative of
the Associated Press that he, was astonlshel
st the pontiff's vitality and brlghtncas of
mind.
Upon his re-entering his private apart
ments the pope said: "It does not mstter
what Dr. Lapponl says. I feel batter after
each occasion of this kind."
The reception lasted for one hour. His
holiness talked about the collapse of the
Campanile of St. Mark's at Venice and ex
pressed a wish to see the restoration cf th)
roof of the Lateran palace before he dlel.
Among th telegram of congratulation
received by the pontiff was one of 20 0 0
words from the Catholics of Catania,
Sicily. The receipt of this long message
caused comment, aa under the settlement
with th Italian government all telegrams
for the Vatican are accepted and delivered
free.
In the course of a conversation the pope
urged the building ef a chapel to be dedi
cated to the Sacred Heart.

SCHEMES FOR THE FILIPINO
A. Conant Believe Mortsage Banks

NEW TORK, Aug; 17. Some data re
garding mortgage loan to small land hold
ers under government supervision has been
forwarded o Judge Henry C. Ide, secre
tary of finance In th Philippine Islands,
by A. Conant, who was In tha Philippine
last summer for th purpose of studying
coinage and banking conditions there.
Mr. Conant says It appear that mort
gage loans under government guaranty are
successful, even ' under th conditions gov
erning in Turkey, and that Lord Cromer I
preparing to extend the system In Egypt
Th National Bank of Egypt haa already
mad loana of about $2,000,000 of this char
acter, but as It Is, a commercial bank Is
indisposed to look up further capital in
this form in security. A new bank is there
fore In process of formation to engage In
mall mortgage and agricultural loana. Th
government la to guarantee dividend of S
per cent on the capital, and Is to employ
the public tax gatherers, it necessary, to
collect the lntereat on loana.
Mr. Conant aald today:
I have sent some information on this sub
ject to tha Philippine commission in the
belief that they might find it useful If they
Intend to prepare such a plan for the
Philippines. If such a plan succeeds In
Turkey and Egypt and there la sufficient
sense of financial responsibility - among
these people to prevent serious losses, It is
possible thit the same conditions could
be obtained In tine Philippines. I know
that some means.of aiding them Is a sub
lent very close to the heart of Governor
Tart and Judge Ide.
There la already Spanish law in the Phil
Ipplnea permitting ;th creation of mort
gage banks, but It apparently needs the
support and active Initiative of the gov
ernment to put a plan of relief for the
email farmers in practical operation, uov
ernor Taft and his aasociatea have so many
problems before them that it will probably
be some time before they will be able to
take thla up. but It will be greatly for the

WHEAT HARVEST ABOUT OYER
South Dakota Fanners Hare Golden Grain
All in Block.
COOL WEATHER ASSISTS WORK GREATLY
Breeses Temper the Heat af the Sua
and Thua Enable Fnrmers to
Break Harvest Reeerd of
Many Years.
oijja. r aliijo, o. u., Aug. al topeciai. f
Wheat harvest throughout the stste Is ;
now practically completed, only a compar-
atlvely few fields of late sewn wheat yet
remaining uncut. j
The weather' during the height of the
harvesting season haa been Ideal, being In
marked contrast to the harvest season of
ast year, when thermometers registered
from 100 to 10$ degrees In the shade during
the day, and hundreds of horses dropped
dead In their tracks from the Intense heat.
One man lcat his resson because of the
excessive heat at that time and hundreds
of others were prostrated.
At no time during this year's harvest was
the temperature very much above 90 de
grees In the shade, and during th greater
part of the time It waa muah below this
figure. Cool breeses every day tempered the
teat of the sun and enabled farmers to
rush their harvesting operatlona to such
an extent a to break th records of many
past years.
During nearly the whole of the past week
rainy weather has been experienced over
practically the whole of the agricultural
portion of the state. This has proved of
wonderful benefit to corn, flax, potatoes
and other late cropa, but haa delayed the
work of threshing and stacking In parts of
the state where threshing had commenced
and where stacking had not been com
pleted.
Although frosts hav visited the state
each month ao far this year with th ex
ception of July, th season, generally
speaking, has been a decidedly favorable
one tor the farmers of South Dakota-
Crop Beat In Yeara.
The small grain is certainly the beat for
years. Owing to the recent heavy and
soaking rains corn, with two weeks mora
of hot weather, will be out of danger In
the southern part of the state.
It will, of course, take It longer than
that to mature in the northern part, but
ther are those who still maintain that
corn will yet mak a good crop in north
ern South Dakota, where it had a very late
start, owing to the unusually backward
spring.
According to reports received concerning
the reported damage to corn and flax by the
frost on the night of the 10th Inst., tha rains
during the few dsys following the frost vis
itation have In many localities revived corn
and flax which was thought to have been
completely killed.
Some fields of corn in the northern and
eastern parts of the state which were situ
ated on extremely low ground were serl
os'y disased. but ths rsizy vcaihsr which
continued up to Saturday has provd that
th damage was far from general In any
part of th state, only Held her and ther
having been seriously affected.
Stacking is completed In many localities.
Owing to the rains of tb last few days mor
threshing will be done from the shock than
had been anticipated earlier In the season.
While the yield of oats, barley, rye and
other grains la the best for years, Interest
naturally centers In the wheat production of
the stafe. "
In tha, tens of thousands of shocks and
stacks which now thickly dot the entire ag
ricultural portion of the state Is contained
th wheat which will a little later be ex
changed for sums aggregating many mil
lions of dollars.
Whether the estimate of 40,000,000 bushels
as .the state's wheat production thla year
win prove to be accurate, only the future
can determine. That It will not run under
thl figure appears certain, while everything
Indicates that it will exceed the estimate,
perhaps by as much as 5,000,000 bushels.
Preparatory to handling the vast quantity
of wheat and other grain which will be
shipped out of South Dakota this fall, new
grain warehouses and elevators are being
erected in all parts of the state eaat of the
Missouri river, while the capacity, of old
elevators Is being greatly Increased, In
many instances doubled.
Some threshing has been done, and, com
mencing the first of the coming week, it
will, tt fair weather prevails, be resumed
and become general In a great part of the
state.
FOR IMPROVEMENT OF PARKS
Mayor of Sioux Fall Takes Step to
Better City's Breathlng;
Plac.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. IT. (Bp-
clal.) In accordance with a pronounced
public sentiment. Mayor Burnsia nas ap.
pointed a committee, consisting of mem.
bers of the city council, for the purpose
of investigating the feaaablllty of tb city
establishing a system of public parks.
Thla is something that th people of the
elty badly need, as there Is not at pres
ent a desirable spot within the city limits
wbr th resident can go tor recreation
and pleasure. Ther ar a number of
sites near th city which could easily
be converted into fine parks.
Among the spots to be considered by
th committee will be what ar known
as Msredltb. Ford, Natwlck and Brough
ton groves, all situated oa the Big Sioux
river, within reasonable distance of the
heart of Sioux Falls, and what is known
as tb big island near the farm of Clark
Coatea. The latter la an unusually hand
some spot. The Island Is entirely sur.
rounded by water the year round. There
are some large trees on the islsnd and
It could be made quite attractive at small
expenses. The question or purchasing
what la known as Seney Island, located on
the Big Sioux river only a few block dis
tant from th business center of Sioux
Falls, and converting It Into a park will
also be considered by the committee. Seney
Island would be the most convenient place,
as It Is easily reached from any part of

the city. From It an excellent view of

The committee will make a report to the
mayor and city council In the near future,
when action toward securing a park may
be taken.
WISHING RAIN WOULD CEASE
"outh Dakota Ranchmen Heplua; that
Present Rainy Seaaoa Will
oon End.
PIEflRE, S. D.. Aug. 17. (Special.) -Ranchmen
are hoping that the rainy season
for this year will soon coma to an end.
Last year tt continued Into September
and as a result grass on the range was
kept green until killing frosts cam and
It was spoiled aa winter feed. They fear
the same results this year again. While
th fall rains essur early grass in the
spring, and bring a heavier hay crop, they
have the disadvantage of spoiling winter
range. Such seasons a last year and
this year will mean that a supply of hay
must be depended upon for winter feed
Instead of. the open range, and this will
mean smalhir herds, as It Is practically
impossible to put up enough bay for the
cattle In the larger herds, which are scat
tered over a scope of country larger than
many of th eastern states, and could
not be got to a central feeding point, even
If th hay supply bad been secured for
them.

At a meeting called for the purpose, yes

Inducements could be offered to manufac
tories to locate at this city. The present
well which has Just been completed by
Messrs. Norbeck and Nicholson, having
proven to be such a success, the same
outfit will no doubt be used la the sink
ing of the new well. While it la Impos
poslbl to yt know what amount of ga
I to be secured from the new well, tt Is
estimated to be greater than from all the
other wells In the city. A pall of water
taken from the well "and carried from the
shed seethes with th escaping gaa, and
when a torch Is applied burns for several
minutes,, with a hot flame before tb gas
In the pall Is exhausted.
