The Danish Sound Dues.
The Berlin correspondent Of the London Times,
writing under date OF December 22d, says that the
increase in the armament Of Swe1en and Norway,
for the alleged purpose Of maintaining neutrality,
gave umbrage TO Russia; but the increase of the
military ana naval force. of Denmark was account
ed Tor satisfactorily TO Russia, by the intimation
that they were designed to resis. the anticipated
temps OF the United STATES to Assert the right Of tree
navigation through the Sound. The same writer
says:-
II the English government would desire to effect
northern league against Russia that shall strike its
roots ouPh the cabinets dowa TO the hearts Of the
people Of Prussia, Denmark and Sweden, IL must
guarantee the speedy settlement of the Sound dnes,
as the price Of their operation. This Is q vital
question for Denmark, for they provide more than
one sixth OF her CT tire revenues and their abolition,
uDcer some sort of compromise, is OF the hgues i'm
portapce TO Sweden and {, Prussia, for they exert
most baneful influence on Baltic commerce.
The United States Of America, after tedious
course Il negotiation have decided on discontinu.

Congress to give the one years notice to Denmark
at the close of which the treaty Of 1926 between the

In the case ofthe United States with out indemnity,

the total loss OF the whole revenue Of $500 600
thslers. England IL also interested in the aootion
or dimunit0n Of the Sound dues, since We are i'm
porters and buyers OF graio, timber, tAuo ', hemp,
