 Inspector Mullins called at the hotel atH 2 + o'clock this morning, and sent up word to 4 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 assoon as he was dressed Soon after he sent for Mullins, who, with
 Detective Sheridan, went up stairs. Parnell met him pleasantly and asked, s'Do you in | tend to arrest me ?'' ssYes," replied MT. Mullins, handing him the warrant, still wet
 with Forster's signature, for the chief secre- tary only returned from London by the glanced over the warrant and said, "All l right" He put on his hat and walked down stairs with the two policemen. cab was waiting at the door, and the three men en- tered it at exactly half-past g. stKilmainham prison," cried Mullins to the driver, and they drove of. Beside the cab were four other policemen in citizens clothes in another car riage On arriving at Kilmainham, MT. Par nell was at once assigned to cell There was no demonstration, as no one knew about the arrest beyond the parties concerned.
 The news of the arrest spread all over Ire- land with the rspidity of lightning and every where that it went the populace turned out only to fnd'the British soldiery armed and on duty ahead of them. The power of the English government and the utterly helpless condition of the Irish people in any scheme of common resistance were never more ter ribly contrasted than in the secrecy, the sud- denness, the complete success of this arrest and the dazed helplessness with which the Irish people were compelled to learn of 1t in the presence of an armed force that seemed in moment to have swarmed all over the country and taken complete possession of it.
 The determination to order the arrest of Parnen was arrived at during the secret and prolonged session of the Cabinet held yester- day. No indication of any kind was given that any such step had been decided upon. After the session ended the public was given to understand that while the ministers of course had given some attention to the con- dition of affairs in Ireland, yet there had been division upon the question as to the best course to pursue, and that most of the time not consumed in the consideration of the Irish question had been used arranging 8 final policy towards the Transvaal. The resolution to arrest Parnen was in this way kept entirely 8 secret from. the Eng fish and Irish people, and so pro- found a secret did it remain that noth- ing was known of it beyond the Cabinet until Secretary Forster, who secretly left LOnQOn 1nuSu4aIely dIGer Eu0 OduluoG du- journed, reached Dublin at an early hour this morning. This he did by special means of travel He at once summoned the best government detectives available, placed the warrant for the agitator's arrest in their hands, and giving them the fullest assuran- ces of military support and the amplest powers advisable, ordered them to perform the duty assigned as speedily and secret ly as possible. Secretary Forster thereupon placed himself at once in the closest communication with the military all over Ireland and it was not long after the detectives left the Secretary before he had every member of the British force on the island under the most absolute order. The Cabinet to-day do not hesitate to say that they believe this enegetie measure will have the effect of improving the political affairs in Ireland But many who have paid the closest attention to those affairs shake their heads and say that the effect of ParnelPs arrest may be very lamentable and cannot now be calculated with any certainty.
