CHINESE TREATY
To Be Similar to That Recently Signed
With Great Britain.
(By Associated Press


WASHINGTON. Aug. 3O-The customs
treaty about to be signed at Pekin be-
tween the representatives of the British
and Chinese Governments will serve as
a pattern OF one to be concluded by Mr..
Conger with the latter government. The
foreign representatives at Pekin. having
regard Tor the fact that the British
trade Interests in China were perhaps
more extensive and more complicated
tan ose OF any other country decided
to allow the British Minister to prepare
the 1rst OF a series of customs treaties,
and although these Will be signed by the
Powers separately and not collectively,
it IS the Understanding among the other
foreign representatives that there shall
be no special advantage granted by China
TO any one of them. Therefore MIR.
Conger, who, it is understood has al
ready made some Roadway toward the
framing of a customs treaty, will secure
any trade advantages which have been
given to the British negotiatocs.
There will be no conflict between Mr.
signed for the United States by Mr.. Shar-
rets. This simply substituted specific for
az valorenl duties, as the latter admitted
of many fraudulent practices by import
ers. SO Mr.. Congers new treaty, while
changing the rates on many articles, will
retain the specific duty principle en-
bodied in Mr.. Sharret's convention

.POPULISTS WILL
FUSE WITH LABOR.
A Large Project if They Can
Effect a Com
bine.
By Associated Press.)

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Aug. 3O.-To
unite labor organizations in the cities
with the Populist movement among the
farmers, under the name of the Allied
Peoples party, for the presidential cam
paign in 1904, is the aim OF the Popuist
national executive Committee. which
met here to-day. The leaders claim that
the political reforms demanded by the
labor people and the Populists are iderti-
cal, and that they should work IN har-
mony. The Populists leaders say that
the campaign in 1904 Will be fought on
industrial. and economic rather than on
purely political issues. They say the
organized labor unions. the organized
Populists. and all wage-earners have q
common interest. and that If these eie-
ments be brought to see this and to act
together as a political party they can
elect President in 1904.
Hereafter part of the Populfst propa-
ganua will be to secure the cooperation
of the labor unions in organization, votes
and financial support. The Popullsts
will recprocate by buying no goods not
oear1ng the union label. What Is pro-
posed is a union in a political party OF
all classes OF persons opposed to what
the Populists call the money power
of which they say both Democratic and
Republican parties are the servants.
The Populist Committee to-day practi-
caIiy began arrangements for the cam
pa.gn of 1904. OF the eight members of
the Executive Committee, five We're here

A plan of organization similar to that
now being operated by the Republicans
in Chicago was adopted. The PopulIsts
will devote their energies to forming
workers clubs" throughout the South
and West. These will be neighborhood
organiza tons and will be formed wher-
ever a few Popuists are in commu-
nifty
The workers clubs" will, among 9th
er things, pledge their members to buy
only manufactured goods bearing union
labels Members of labor organizations
will be invited to join these clubs 1t $
