under the steady pounding of the Ital-

The satisfaction of the Italians over
the present situation is matched only
by the anger of the Austrian COM

swollen river has been the culmina-

An English correspondent suggests that it is not Eng

Ulster, Ireland should be free.

According to the electoral of the
election held in the 1870 Ulster elected 81 repre-
senatives-17 of these for native government
IA were opposed Thus is will be that Ulster has
three elected representatives in majority native
government AS to territory, has nine counties
five of which soidy for native government while in
the four remaining counties, which said be the
stronghold of the opposition representative from each
of these counties is elected for government So
that in representation and in territory strongly
