DrB1fx, October 13.-Nr. ChArles s..
I parneli wis arrested this nlcrniax 1T Kings
bridge railway station while on his way 10
attepd the Kildare Convention. II Is not
yet known with what offence be Ia charged.
IL Is understood the determination to ur-
rest him was only reached at Yesterdays
Cabinet council. The warrant for his ar
rest was issued 10 the detectives of Dublin
on the arrival there Of the Chief Secretary
for Ireland, DIR. Forster, who left London
immediately after the close Of the Cabinet
council. r
A later account represents that Parnell
was arrested by Detective Superintendent
Mallons, ut Morrison's Hotel, on two war
rants signed by Mr.. Forster, Chief Secrc-
tary for ireland, charging him with in
citing the people to intimidatc others from
paying their Just rent, and with intimida-
ting tenants from taking the benefit of the
land act. Parncll was taken TO Kilmainham
Jail In 4 cab.
Mr.. Gladstone was informed that the ar
rest had been accomplished after he ar
rived ut Guild Hall, and his announcement
OF the fact was received with uproari0us
cheering, the whole OF the large assem-
blagc Of guests rising and waving their
hats and handkerchieis. In announcing
the arrest OF Pnrnell he said 81 have
been informed that the first step has been
taken towards the restoration OF law and
order, OF the rights OF property, and Of
the first elements OF civilization, by the
arrest Of man who from motives which
do not challenge or examine llas
made himself prominent in the at
tempt TO destroy the authority OF law.
We are not at issue with the people OF Ire
land. | firmly believe that the majority Of
tenants earnestly desire Il fair trial OF the
land act. The power with which we are
struggling il that which endeayOrs to say
how far the people shall obey the law. We
have no fear OF the people Of Ireland, but
do fear lest many should become democrat
lied or lntimidated." lie said he would
rejoice at the adoption Of any form Of local
government in Ireland, provided Il did not
impair the supremacy OF the Imperial Gov
eminent. He renewed the claim for the
support OF all, without distinction OF party,
in the great national crisis.
Mr.. Gladstone was enthusiastically
cheered throughout the delivery OF his
speech.
DUBLIN, October 13.-1t Is reported that
the arrest OF Parnell Is only preliminary TO
still more vigorous action against the Land
League. The arrest was effected very
quietly at $50 O'Clock this morning. The
police appealed 10 Parncll to avoid all de-
lay, so rs not TO permit the fact to become
public. Moderate Liberals and Con-
scrvatiyes approve Of the arrest 1t
is believed that Pamel's speech at
Wexford last Sunday furnished the Gov
ernment technical justification for his ar
rest. The League is now g y. NJ sitting.
It Is expected that il will publish Il mani
fcsto II is stated that John Dillon, men,
Der OF Parliament for Tipperary, will as
sumo the presidency OF the League. The
military force in Dublin is held in readiness
for action In the event OF IN emergency.
BOsTON. October i3.-P. \. Collins, pre-
sident OF the Land League OF the United
States, Immediately OH receipt OF the news
OF the arrest OF Parnell sent the following
cable dispatch to the Executive in Dublin :
Boston, October l3.-SeTt0a, Land
Leuglie, Dublin: Parnel's arrest is Glad
stones blunder. Parnell in prison must
be the strongest force OF the League. Con-
tinue his policy; stand firm and keep cool.
The British game has always been TO crush
agitation in Ireland by provoking civil
war. Defeat it; keep on the old line; be
patient as YOU have been bold. The
American League will redOuble its work
and stand by you TO the end.
