IRISH INDIGNATION.


ParneII Arrested and Thrown Into
Prison-AlI Ireland Excited-DupIin
an Armed Camp In Outbreak Prob
able Mt any Time--Parnell at Kill
mainham.
New YORK, Oct. ia cable dis
patch to the Irish World, from the sec
rotary of the land league, Dublin, says:
Parnell was arrested in his bed this
morning, and Immediately lodged in
all. The city is in ferment. Dub
lin is in terrible excitement. The city
is an armed camp, showing that this
has been premeditated and prepared
for action. No event III the history of
Ireland has so stirred Dublin, and the
only parallel is Paris at the destruction
of the Bastile.
(Signed.) QUINN, Secretary.
DUBLIN, Oct. l3.-The condition of
things at this hour is awful. The
wave of indignation gathers, and there
is no telling when it may break, or
what the consequence may be. The
land league executive is at this mo-
ment sitting with John Dillon in the
chair. The worst is being prepared for.
1t is rumored that the government will
take possession of the land league
headquarters. and proceed to the ut
most extremity of brute force to re-
press the organization. Calmer, but
deliberate and decisive action can be
looked for from the men at the head.
If the men in America stand firmly by
us there need be no fears of the ulti-
mate result.

PARNEIL ARRESTED.
New YORK, Oct. 13.-A cablegram
from Dublin says: Parnell was arrested
to-day at the Morrison hotel, where he
was stopping previous to starting for
Kildare. Inspector Mallon called at
the hotel at 8 o'clock this morning and
sent up word to the land league leader,
who was still in bed, that he would like
to see him. The hotel porter returned
word that he would be happy to see the
inspector as soon as he was dressed.
Soon after he sent for Mallon, WHO. with
Detective Sheridan went upstairs.
Parnell met him pleasantly and asked,
fDo you intend to arrest me?' YES"
replied Mallon handing him the war
rant still wet with the Forster's sigma
ture. Parnell was at once assigned to
q cell at Kelmainham.
DUBLIN, Oct. 13.-The detective SUI
perintendcnt who arrested Parnell was
accompanied by six detectives. The
cab conveying Parnell to the prison
was escorted by two cars filled with po-
! lice.
New YORK, Oct. 13.-Patriclz Ford
issued an address to the land leaguers
of America, announcing the arrest of
| Parnell, in which he says the Irishmen
must restrain their impulses; reason,
not passion, should rule the hour.
Never did the land league have a bet
ter opportunity to manifest its moral
power than now Never did it become
the duty of the Irish people to exhibit the
virtues of self-possession and discipline
and obedience to the land league more
than now. Through enlightenment
and organization the people will assur-
edly come into possession of their in
heritance. Much has been accom-
! plished looking to this end already.
Gladstone himself openly confessed
that the land league is the only gov
eminent in Ireland, now, with any
force behind it, hence he makes war
upon it. He presents aims to the
majesty of ideas which are innume era
BILE and immortal. "No man who be-
lieves in the superiority of mind over
brute matter, can entertain doubt re-
speeding the final issue.
SYMPATHY.
| Boston, Oct. 23.-P. A. Collins, presi-
dent of the land league of the United
States, Immediately upon the receipt of
| the news of Parnell's arrest, sent the
| following cablegram to the executive
at Dublin:
Boston, Oct. 18,-isertOn, land bdq,te,
Dublin. ParnelPs arrest is Gladstone's
blunder. Parnell in prison must be
the strongest force if the league con-
| tinues the policy to stand firm and
ways been 10 crush agitation in Ireland
| by provoking civil war to 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.
(Signed) COLLINS,
President.
| DUBLIN, Oct 13.-It is reported that
the arrest of Parnell is only prelimina-
ry to still more vigorous action against
the land leagues. The arrest was eff
fected very quietly at $50 this morn
ing. The police appealed to Parned to
avoid all delay so as to not permit the
fact to become public. The moderate

arrest. 1t is believed the Parnell
speech at Wexford, on Sunday last,
furnished the government technical
justification for the arrest.
The league now, at 3 p. M, is sitting,
and it is expected it will publish a
manifesto.
1t is said John Dillon, member of
parliament, will assume the presidency
of the league.
The military force in Dublin is held
III readiness for action in the event of
an emergency.
The secretary of the land league was
interviewed shortly after Parnell's ar
rest. He expressed much astonish-
ment, exclaiming excitedly: "Let them
come on, we are ready for them"
Father Sheely, Patrick Eagan, and
Y. B. Dillon, went to Paris to-day.
DUBLIN, Oct. 13.--The inhabitants of
Lismar closed their shops on the news
of Parnell's arrest. The guards at
Killmainiham Jail are doubled. Car
low, Kildare, Langford, South Wexford
and Wicklow counties and certain bar
onies in Meath, are proclaimed under
the coercion act.
