The Usual Result.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 3-Sinee the inau-
guration of the window-glass strike
100, 900 boxes OF glass have been i'm
ported into this city. Five years ago
the annual foreign importation was
reduced from 100000 to 800, 600
boxes. but the late strike has in
creased the importaiions and it is as.
serted the imports will reach l,00O, 900
boxes. The blowers and manufactur
ers view this fact with respective
favor. The blowers say the manufac-
turerers cannot afford to see the impor
tation increase and their furnaces lie
cold, while the manufacturers assert
that the importation must prove to
the strikers their assertions that il is
better to import than to produce al the
present cost OF production. The strike
Is three months old to-day, with pros

How O'DosneiI Took 1t.
LONDON, Dec. 2.--0n leaving the dock
last night, 0Donnell, guarded by
strong escort, walked with firm, IN
hesitating step to the cell assigned for
the use of condemned prisoners. lie
was intensely excited, but maintained an
air of defiance and continued to anath-
ematze England, the English people
and their laws. On reaching the cell,
O'Donnell. by strong effort, regained
his habitual composure. The Catholic
clergyman Of the prison soon visited
the prisoner aud remained with him a
long time, the visit having soothing
effect. After refreshing nights sleep,
O'Donnell ate hearty breakfast and
conyersed freely with the wardens dur
ing Sunday. He expressed no surprise
at the verdict, although he confessed
that the jury's hesitation inspired him
with the hope that he might escape the
extreme penalty of the law He
highly praised Mr.. Russell's able
defense. He still maintains that
he is innocent OF murder. All
day O'Donnell displayed extreme indif
ference and even bore jaunty air. He
does not seem to despair of respite.
He says his friends outside will movo
heaven aud earth to obtain his release.
Father Fleming revisited the prisoner on
Sunday and remained with him some
time. He says 0'Donnell is in good
spirits and prepared for the worst. The
brother Of O'Donnell will visit him on
Monday, despite rumors to the contrary.
The result Of o. O'Donnells trial was eager
ly awaited by the Irish inhabitants OF
London, where 1t was generally expected
that the verdict would be manslaughter
Some Of the League branches have re-
solved 10 form committees to memorial
ize Sir Vernon Harcourt, the Homo Sec
retary, TO commute the sentence. Itis
thought probable that en- attempt will
be made to bring pressure upon the
United States government to Intervene
for the Communication of the sentence.
