THE DOOMED O'DoNNELL.
Binns, the Hangman. on the Ground
30 Wake His CHASTITY Preparations.


LONDON, Dec. 15.-The official hangman of
Great Britain, Binns, has arrived here to
make his preparations for the execution of
O'Donnell. His coming has car
ried sensation among those in
terested in the case, and every
step of the hangman and of his assistants is
watched with deep interest. Mr. Lowell, the
American minister, says that he is not free
to discuss for publication the steps taken by
him and the American friends of the con
demned man to obtain respite for O'Don-
nell from the British government He
says that he is hampered in approaching the
representatives of the crown by the result of
the DR.. Lamson case. 1t is announced that
the jurymen who convicted O'Donnen of
murder have been seen, but that all
efforts have proven unavailing to get
them to join in the memorial asking for a
respite. Among all the Irishmen in this city,
and even among many of their political adj
versaries, deep regret is expressed that all the
efforts in behalf of ODonnell have been COM
pietely useless so far.
