TARIFF TREATY
HAS BEEN SIGNED
u. S. and China Have at Last
Come TO Terms
SHARRETTS READY TO SAIL
Treasury Expert After Years Hard
Work Finally Concludes the
Agreement and So Mott
fies Department.

Washington, August 1.-THE state de-
partment has received a dispatch from
c. A. sharratts, the treasury expert who
was commissioned by the state depart
ment to negotiate a tariff treaty between
the United States and China. stating that
the treaty was signed on the 18th inst,
and that he would sail for the Cnited
| States on the first steamer.
/ The announcement contained in Mr.
Sharretts brief dispatch to the state de-
partment brings to a successful conclu-
sion negotiations which have been pend
ing for months for a tariff treaty between
China and this country. It was stipulated
as one of the features of the peace agree
ment between China and the foreign
powers. at the close of the Boxer out
break, that an entirely new fabric to
trade treaties should be made This car
ried out the purpose Secretary Hay had
iraintair cd throughout the preceding ne
gotiations for an "open door,, the desire
being to open up foreign communications
with the interior of China, and thus gain
access to the vast markets of the en-
pire.
foiloWlng the conclusion of the peace
arrangements Mr. Sharretts was selected
to carry on the tariff negotiations in be-
half of the United States This selection
was due to his long familiarity with tar
III affairs, as he had assisted In the
framing of recent tariff legislation be-
fore congress anu had also served as one
Of the general appraisers of New York
lie went to China about a year ago and
has since been engaged in working out
the details of tariff agreement. 1t was
announced about a month ago that the
British commissioners had concluded a
tariff treaty with China and it was UNI
derstood at that time that the British
treaty would serve as a basis for similar
treaties with the United States and other
foreign countries. THE state department
was advised at the time that the rates
on exports entering China were 12h per
cent and the export duties ~ per cent
one or the most important provisions of
the British-China treaty was that abol-
lining the likin tax 1t is presumed that
similar rates are made in the American
treaty and that the likin tax Is abolished
as far as 1t relates to American goods in
transit The llkin tax has been one of
/ the most burdensome exaotions of the
antiquated Chinese system, as 1t was
levied by the officials at various points
throughout the kingdom without uni
formity and often with less regard for
commercial ends tslsn for the enrich
ment Of the Inscriptions local officials.
/ The adjustment of the lilSin tax will go
| far towards encouraging foreign trade
and traffic in the interior Of China

tai and does not go into details regarding

Great Falls. Mont. August 17.-Presi-
dent ]. ]. Hill of the Great Northern
Railroad company. who visited this city
last Monday. will erect a monster iron
and steel plant for which plans have
been drawn. according TO information
from those in close touch with the rail-
way magnates. Wednesday night, it has
developed. Mr.. Hill purchased an inter-
est in tho Conrad iron mines of Choteau
county. for $500 The mines lie In the
sweet grass hills. There IS enough iron
ore In sight to keep an ordinary plant
supplied for a hundred years, according
to Mr.. Hills experts who have ex-
smined the property. w. G Conrad, own
er Of the mines, has confirmed the report
of the-sele to Mr.. HILL
One factor which has been lacking in
the reduction Of the iron ore to metal
has been manganese, which mineral is
necessary. To overcome this difficulty
President Hill. together with United
States Senator Gibson, has purchased the
recently discovered deposits of manga
nese In Jefferson county on the line OF
the Great Northern. Before leaving
Great Falls, Mr.. Hill made the remark
that he would establish an industry III

Mr. Hill has been acquiring IRON deposits

FIGHTING AT Aqua DuLcE.
Firing Began July 29 and Lasted Until
July 31-An Armistice.

Washington, August 1.-THE depart
ment Of state is in receipt Of dispatch
from Consul General Gudsoe at Panama,
dated August a. reporting that fighting
began at Aqua Dulce on July % and
continued until July 81 when there was
an armistice for several hours for the
purpose of caring for the wounded and
burying the deed.
The government forces are said to be
practically surrounded by the revolution
lists, who have cut off all communication
with Panama and the outside.
The Padillo a revolutionary gunboat,
is at the mouth of the river guarding the
entrance to the port. In addition, they
have a number of soldiers there and it
is said captured The ports some two
miles distance from Aqua.
On the morning of the 18th of July the
Chuchito and Boyaca government ves-
sells started to go into the river to take
soldiers, provisions. etc, to Aqua Dulce.
They were met by the Padilla and after
some firing the Chuchito left and arrived
at Panama the next day. Tie Padilo
chased the Boyaca in a southern direc-
ton. From then until now no word has
been heard from the Boyaca. The Padilla
returned to the mouth of the river and
the supposition Is that the Boyaca was
not captured
