PARNELL's ARREST.
DUBLIN, Oct 14.-Charles S. Parnell
was arrested this morning at his hotel.
He was arrested on two warrants,
signed by Forster, chief secretary for
Ireland, which charged him with incit-
ing the people to intimidate others from
paying their ust rent, and with intimi-
dating tenants from taking the benefit
of the land act. Parnell wss taken to
the Kilmainham Jail. 1t is understood
the determination to arrest Parnell was
only reached at yesterdays cabinet
council. The warrant for his arrest was
issued to detectives of Dublin on the
arrival there of the chief secretary for
Ireland, Forster, who left London i'm.
mediately after the close of the cabinet
council. Parnell was arrested at Nor
rlsons hotel, where he was stopping
previous to starting for the Kildare
convention at Noas. Inspector NAL
Ion called at the hotel at 9 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
VOID that he would be happy to see
the inspector rs soon as he was dress
ed. Soon after he sent for Mallon,
who, with Detective Sheridan, went up
stairs. Parnell met him pleasantly
and asked, "Do you intend to arrest
me? p eyes" replied Mallon, handing
him the warrant still wet with Fors-
ter's signature, for the chief secretary
only returned from London by the
morning mail at s O'Clock. Parnell
then glanced over the warrant, and
said, Albright" He put on his hat
and walked down stairs with the two
policemen. A cab was waiting at the
door and the three men entered it.
"kilmainham prison. cried Mallon to
the driver, and they drove off. There
were four other policemen in citizens
clothes in another carriage. On arriv-
ing at kilmainham, Parnell was at
once assigned to a cell.
A cablegram to the Irish World from
the secretary of the land league in
Dublin says:
Parnell was arrested in his bed this
morning and Immediately lodged in
Kilmainham Jail Ireland is in a fer
ment. DuDlln Is III q state or terrible
excitement. The city is an armed
camp.
A Dublin dispatch to the Irish World
referring to ParnelPs arrest, says 1t
was a premeditated and preparation
action. No event in the history of Ire
land has SO stirred Dublin. and the only
parallel is Paris at the destruction of
the bastiie.

Another dispatch to the same paper
at noon is as follows:
The condition of things at this hour is
awful. The wave of indignation gath
ers force as the moments fly and there
is no telling when itmay break or what
the consequences may be. The land
league executive committee is at this
moment sitting with John Dillon in the
chair and the worst is being prepared
for. 1t is rumored that the government
will take military possession of the land
league headquarters and proceed to the
utmost extremity Of brute force to re-
press the organization. Calm but de-
liberate and decisive action can be
looked for from tie men at the head,
and if men in America stand firmly by
us there need be no fears of the ulti-
mate result
(Signed) JOSEPH P. QUINN,
Secretary of the Land League.
