O'DONNELL DOOMED.
Every Possible Obstacle Being Thrown
In the Way Of His Defense-The
Crown Said TO be
Determined to Secure His Execution at
All Hazards The werfare Against

To be Revived Throughout Ireland, and
Especially in County Fermanagh,
Lord ROssmOre's Home.

A Boadun special says every possible
embarrassment is being thrown in the
way OF O'DonneHs 6efense. To-day
cablegram was received by 0'Donnell's so
licitor in London from Donald Currie, of
the Currie Steamship Line, making a per-
emptory demand for $500 cash for the
transportation of McHardy, one OF the
witnesses, who is also an employe Of the
company. There are fye witnesses coming
from Cape Town, ard as the bill of OK
penses for the transportation of four OF
these has been agreed upon and amounts
to only $1,000, the charge Of $500 fer. the
transportation of the other j. Tvt5atded by
ODonnelPs counsel rs eXorbitant, and
they have cebte3 a refusal to pay the sum
demsRsscd. The presence at the trial of the
Capetown witnesses is deemed absolutely
necessary to the defense, as they are 70

session OF ODonnell'@ counsel, that
CAREY wls kiLLED IN sELF-DEFENsE,
during the row following the sudden dis
covery OF his identity Mr.. Currie's action
in this matter has greatly embarrassed
0'Donnell's counsel, and although up to
the present time they have protested
against the payment of the $500 demand
ed for McHardys transportation, they will
have to give way in order to make out
even plausible case of self-deiense. The
case is already considered practically lost,
because of the irritated condition of pub

whom it is now believed O'Donnell is one,
| and this fresh misunderstanding has com
| pletely discouraged the prisoners Coun-
| sci. Public feeling has been greatly inten-
| sified by the recent explosions in London,
| and the claim set up by O'Donnell's sub
| scription agents in New York that these
| outrages were the work of their emissaries
1t is openly asserted that the government
means to secure the execution of O'Don-
nell, and Mr.. Currie is charged with abus-
| ing his privileges, as the monOpolist Of the
| Capetown Steamship Line, for the purpose
of facilitating the plans of his close per-
sonal friend, the Prime Minister, in this
respect,

The Executive Committee of the Irish

it was because of this that the Fermanagh
meetings were dropped when the Orange
men, under the lead of Lord Russfnore,
attempted TO break up the Posslea con
