British-Swedish Break Over Mails Is
Growing Wider.

London, Jan. 20.-The controversy
over the detention of information mails
is widening in scope without any
signs of settlement The Anglo
Swedish phase of the controversy is
attracting most attention but other
nations affected are watching devel-

dications are prepared to intervene
with something more formal than
the inquiries with which they have
already delugeed the foreign office
Protests from Sweden to England and
vice versa have crossed each other
apparently without bringing the two
nations any nearer to an understand
ing than they they were when the
dispute began. Broths traders doing
business with Russia and Rumania
are besieging the foreign office with
petitions to havve the question set
tied.

kept me to himself, banishing Chevet,

to add to my dislike. This creature
