to go into camp two or three miles from

Many Of the men Estate militia express nm
earnest desire to go 10 Malone, and would

Canadian Account Of u Fight at
Huntington see Fcnians Take 10
Their Heels.
ToRoNTo, May 81.
The movement at Huntington began at
5 o'clock this morning.
The Fenians hal constructed breast.
works Of rails on the north bank Of Trout
river. At hNlfpast O'Clock Canadian
troops came up and opened fire. The
Fcniuns fred few shots and took 10
their heels. They were pursued 10 the
boundary line, where their officers, dis
playing rCvolvers, attempted TO form them
into line, but it was truitlcSs. There was
not n single casualty on the Canadian side.
The FCniAns lett few wounded and one
killed on the field.
U. S. troops are advancing from Malone.
The Canadian papers In treating Of the
present Fcnian raid, express tho following
views in regard to It's effects upon Canada:
Fcnianism is miserable pest, n cause
Of annoyance aud expense, nuisance,
which the country is forced to suffer from
continually, without reason; cntatlinS loss
Of life in ignOblc cause and disturbance
Of business relations. To these evils the
Canadian people would submit without
complaint, If they thought the Imperial
Government sufficiently Considcratc Of
their position, or assumed It's share Of the
responsibility. They hold that the Impc.
riaf Government Is rcmiss in not making
the proper representations Mt Washington,
and demands Of the United States Govern.
ment that It shall take some steps to pre-.
vent these recurring invRsiOns, murder Of
brave men and waste Of money. Canada
being colony, Is in no position TO re.
monstratc with the United States Govern.
mcnt. President Grants proclamation,
without n sufficient force to support It, Is
u farce. UnfriendlincSS to Great Britain
has steadily marked the policy Of tho
United States Government.
