test foreign news:
By the Canada at Ilallax yester.
day afternoon we have six days later
news from Europe. The news is unim,
portant, the excitement in Great Britain

Ell into alliance with the Western Pow

claims against Spain which excited I'M
pleasant feelings. Nothing from the

Allies in the South side of Seyastopol
were receiving the Russian FIRE philoso-
phically, being comforted by the oxpec-

of our contemporaries of the press are
making themselves quite merry over
the last opinion delivered by Judge
Kane in the Williamson case. In that

from being convinced by such logic,
many of our contemporaries seem to
entertain the opinion that his concern
on this score comes too late, and that
