Pritchard recognized tkc Hon. Locke
Craig as his most formidable competitor
and challenged him to a series Of joint
debates throughout the State. It devel-
oped, however. that the Democrats were
unwilling to allow the Senator to make
a selection Of his successor. and the
fight among the victors is now on In full
force. It is said to be not at all un-
likely that the Legislature may decide
to disregard the claims OF the several
sspirants and make an outside selection,
In that case there Is a strong probabu-

perienced a bitter disappointment and a

ENGLAND SETS A PACE.
Will Remove the Duty From
West Indian Sugar.

London, March SIT is learned by the
Associated Press that the British gov
eminent intends in the near future to
remove the half penny per pound duty
which is now imposed on West Indian
sugar. This will afford the West Indies
the relief they have demanded until the
Brussels convention comes in force. Be-
tween now and September, 1903 accord
ing to the terms of the convention Great
Britain can take any steps she deems
advisable to safeguard the industry.
The abolition of the duty on West In
dian sugar is tantamount to giving it
preferential treatment over all other su-
gars. Though this of course ceases the
moment the Brussels agreement be-
comes operative. According to reports
of the leading sugar houses here, the
immediate effect will be to bring to
English ports the West Indian sugar
which is now going to American mar
