IRELAND AND THE IRISH.
Harcourt Reported as Refusing to In
terfere in the O'DonnelI Case.

@@SA o III the " OOunell Case
LONDON, Dec. 14.-Binns, the hangman.
has arrived at Newgate prison to make
preparations for the execution of O'Don-
nell. Mr.. Lowell, the American Minis
Ter, says that he is not free to discuss the
steps taken to obtain respite for O'Don-
nell. He is hampered in approaching the
British Government upon the question by
the result Of the Lamson case.
Efforts are still being made to secure a
meeting OF the members of the jury under
the strietest obligation of secrecy. The
Exchange Telegraph Company reports
that all of the jurymen who convicted
ODonnell have been seen, but that all
efforts to get them to join in a memorial
TO the Crown for respite have thus far
been unavailing.
ODonnelfs statement to his brother
yesterday is substantially the same as
that quoted by Mr.. Russell at the trial.
ODonnelI adds: Il never said to Cubitt,
the witness for the prosecution, what he
swore about my having threatened to take
Carey's life. l do not intend to make any
further statements
Meetings were held in various parts of
London Yesterday in support of the move
ment to procure respite for O'Donnell.
At conference held at st. Bridgeps Club
in Holborn, the following resolution was
passed. 1--WE having heard O'Don-
made on Thursday, earnestly
urge the Home Secretary to obtain
respite for O'Donnell on account of what
we are firmly convinced was miscar-
rIage of justice for daring to defend him
self against murder0us attack made bv
one who has been fitly described as the
most Infamous criminal of modern days"
copy of the resolution was sent to
Premier Gladstone.
w WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members except Secretary Folger, who is
lndisposed. 1t is understood that the case
OF ODonnell was again under considera-
ton.
LONDON, Dec. 10, A. M.-The Daily
Telegraph this morning says that it under
stands that Sir William Harcourt, Home
Secretary, has decided that on no grounds
will he interfere with the execution of
O'Donnell. In reply to the request of the
American Government to postpone the
execution pending inquiries with refer
ence to ODOnnelPs citizenship, an an
swer has been sent that Her Majestv's
Government has carefully considered the
whole matter, and is convinced that no
reasonable ground has been assigned to
warrant stay of execution.

dian named Surtzer, who, having desert
ed from the American army, was followed

FRANCES WAR WITH CHINA.
Further Speculation Concerning the
Poisoning of the King of AMMAN

Further Speculation Concerning the
Poisoning of the King of AMMAN.
LONDON, Dec. IA dispatch from
Hanoi, dated December 8, confirms the
report of the breaking out of a revolution
at Hue and the poisoning of King HE
phema. The new King of AMMAN is
Tiephoa. The influence of the anti-Frencb
Mandarinas Is paramount at Hue. and
war against France has been proclaimed.
The French force i'll charge of Hue is
insufficient to meet the new danger, and
reinforcements are urgently necessary.
The British War Office is daily issuing
orders having reference to the shipment
of supplies and war material to the Brit
lsh stations in China. The steamer Han
kow, under orders to sail for China next
wednesday, is shipping heavy guns and
howitzers.
PARIS, Dec. 14.-The government is still
without any information relative to the
reported revolution at Hue and the poi
soning of the Annamite King. 1t is well
known, however, that the Kings position
has been a very difficult one since the
signing of the treaty with the French.
Eight hundred French troops occu-
py the ports at Hue and on
the river, and seven gunboats
are stationed In the stream. The govern
ment, therefore, has no fear for the safety
of its forces there. The report of the ar
rival at Marseilles of NJ. Tricon was err
roneous. If the news from Hue should
be confirmed, NJ. Tricon, VINO is about to
proceed to Hanoi from Saigon, would
probably be sent to Hue with a mission
in the interests of the French Govern
ment.
Advices from Hal Phong, of the 7th inst,
state that the murder of King Hiephema,
of AMMAN, was instigated by China.
All the members of the Senate Commit
tee on the Tonquin Credits are in favor of
granting the credits. NJ. Barthelmv Saint
Hilaire is President of the committee.
La France says that three battalions
have been ordered to be prepared to en-
bark for Tonquin on the 23d inst, and
that volunteers have been called for to
form three more battalions. These six
battalions, it adds, will form a brigade
under Gen. Lesquiles.

der IN the second degree as accessory to

was sentenced to pay fine of $1,000,
and be imprisoned for the rest of

strove to bear up firmly, but their
faces were pale and they trembled
nervously. When asked by the court
whether he had anything to say the
younger prisoner simply answered that
he had not made practice of carrying a
revolver. This was in reply to the Chief
Justices suggestion that he might not
have committed the crime had not the
weapon been so handy. After the sentence
the young man buried his face in his
hands and wept quietly.
