Washington, Oct. 23.-The state de-
pertinent was Wednesday advised of
the action of the landsthing in reject
ing the treaty of cession. The action
caused little surprise, for, as already
indicated in these dispatches, the ad-
vices from Copenhagen indicated that
the fate of the treaty hung upon the
slenderest thread, and only in case the
treaty could be brought to vote be-
fore one or two members of the lands
thing who were ill had SO far recov-
cred as to be able to attend the ses-
sions, would it be possible to succeed
with the measure. From the press ac-
count of the vote, it appears that one
of those i'll members unexpectedly APP
peared and turned the tide. The Off
Gals here are not precisely advised as
to the legislative possibilities in Den
mark, but even assuming that Wednes-
days action is final for the present ses-
sion, they are disposed to view the sit
uation philosophically resting in the
belief that it will only be short time
before Denmark will tire of making
good a deficit in the revenues of the is
lands and let us have them.
