They are basically the same, baritones are somewhat generalized as having a brighter sound though. Of the instruments I've seen the "euphoniums" usually have a larger bell throat lending to a darker tone, while the "baritones" are rather slim looking.
My friend in high school played a Besson euph and occasionally I would play a Conn baritone. Their tones were quite different although both would fill the musical void in the band quite nicely. Most people prefer the euphonium's sound.
