BRITIsH PARIIAMENT.-HO House Of Commons,
March Oh Importation Of Sugar. Mr.. Thome-
ly had been informed that that day, there had
arrived in the port of London amples of sugar
from New Orleans, the produce of slave labor
What lac wished to know was, whether this
sugar, as well as that imported from Louisiana
aud other slave countries, would be admitted
into this country upon the same terms as sugar
imported from Java and Malta!
Sir X. Peel said that those countries of the
United States in which sugar was produced by
slave labor, and admitted into England, were
countries with which this kingdom had at pre-
sent reciprocity treaties, With regard to the
arrival announced by the honorable member,
! he, Sir K. Peel, begged to say, lie had no init
nation whatever of it; bat he would say, that
at present that sugar would not be admissible
on the same terms as sugar, the produce of the
countries mentioned by the honorable member
But he would add, that he had 10 hesitation in
saying that sugar, the produce of the L. States,
included under the reciprocity treaties, would
be admitted under the proposed advantages
lIfcat.)
Mr.. Thornley, was very glad to hear that an
nonncement from the right honorable baronet,
as new and very extensive trade in sugar was
about TO be opened with the countries he had
named, to which this altered state of the law
would be Of great importance.
Mr.. Ewart wished to know whether it was
not the fact that slave-grown sugar, admitted
at the reduced duty from the u. States, would
undersell the ree-labor sugar of Nautilus and
Java.
Sir r. Peel was understood to say that he
was not prepared With an answer
PROBABLE SUICIDE. Two men, named John
Swcyor and John Lewis Wucst, arrived in Phi
!adclpha, on Sunday, from Baltimore, and
shortly afterwards Sweyer gave his companion
n letter and his watch, and told him to 90 to
tavern as he wanted to 90 to the wharf. He
did so, and has not seen Sweyer since. The
letter was subsequently opened, and in sub.
| stance stated that he had read in the good book
that the way to the kingdom of Heaven was
only 10 be found through great tribulation, and
he believed it, for he had passed through many
trials during the past two years; the spirit with
in him would not suffer him TO be at peace, and
he had come to the conclusion to lose his life so
that according to the promise he might find it,.
He would therefore forget his family, children,
and friends; aye even the whole world for
Chrlst's sake. 1t concluded thus: Farewell
friends, farewell world, farewell ALL farewell
life, farewell wife, farewell. SwEYER."
Enclosed in the letter was the following GER
tificate: "The bearer, John Sweyer, has been
an acceptable member of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church in this place. Columbia Station,
Philadelphia Conference. d. +. GARDNER.
Feb. 18th, 1914. Preacher in charge"
The presumption is, from the tenor of the
letter, that Sweyer has committed suicide by
drowning himself from some Of the wharfs in
the vicinity.

just language;
"This spacious house has been recently re-
paired and refurnished, and under the direction

the travelling public. 1t is in Light street,
within short distance Of the Railroad depots,

place for those who enter Baltimore from any
