fires kindled over the news that Dublin
had returned the entire Nationalist
ticket. The news was sent in every
direction by telegraph from amid
crowds numbering tens Of thousands
and as madly joyous as Irish enthu-
siasts ever have been anywhere. The
so-called Loyalists atfrst showed signs
of interfering with the popular enthu-
siasn, but for the most part they went
suddenly home. For hours scarcely
anything could be heard but the sing
ing of s'God Save Ireland One sec
ton of the crowd, somewhat over-en-
thusiastic, broke everv window in Sir
Edward Guinness house, on st. Ste
phen's Green. Much establishment was
expressed at the large number OF
American flags seen everywhere. The
Conservative Club foated the Union
Jack. An immense crowd Of Nation
alists showed symptoms OF going In
aud tearing it down. The very large
police force surrounding the club house
prevented this, but the windows were
smashed. There was speech making
everywhere from impromptu platforms.
Messrs. Sullivan and Harrington spoke
at several points. The authorities OF
the Tory Trinity College closed the
gates on the students. Nevertheless, a
large number of them got out, captured
the Star and Stripes and placed them
around Grattan7s statue, tied with
green ribbons. Another flag was soon
restored to the place of that which had
been appropriated. The bases Of the
Nelson Pillar and the Grey Monument
in Sackville street were crowded with
spectators anxious to obtain view OF
the professions, some large and some
small, which kept parading the prin-
cipal thoroughfares. Other large
crowds congregated OF College Green.
Every point of vantage that could be
| found was eagerly taken possession of.
Numbers chung around the pedestal of
| the Grattan statue and occupied the
steps of the Bank Of Ireland, clinging
to the huge. allegorical figures. The
O'Connell monument, not only the base
but the monument itself, was covered
with a mass of human beings who
cheered, shouted and fired off squibs
and rockets in all directions.

Commenting Oh the closeness Of the
Ohio Legislature recently elected, the
State Journal said in a recent issue:
eff any two Republicans vote with the
Democrats for senator this winter, they
will go down to posterity in more in
fanny than Booth or Guiteau. In fact,
we would not insure their safe exit
from this city, Instead of denouncing
imaginary crimes in South Carolina
and Mississippi, John Sherman might
probably journey to Columbus and
condemn the editor who penned this
open bid for assassination Of any Re-
publican who refused TO obey the crack
OF the party whip. 1t is safe to say
that the State Journal is not a nom
partisan paper.

facts and figures are taken: Before the
Legislative union Ireland's national debt
was ga 900 600: one year of union raised
it to e6,00o,0e0; this sum was next
amalgamated with the British national
debt of e45o, 600 900, and from that day
TO this Ireland has been impoverished
by being compelled to pay an unfair

The Marquis of Lorne contested the
borough of Hampstead in the Liberal
interests. Whether it was because the
electors did not wish to be represented
by an accidental adjunct of royalty, or
whether they were unwilling to trust a
man who made such conspicuous
failure III Canada, does not appear, but
they rejected him by 975 votes out OF a
total of 1855. The popularity Of the
Marquis is certainly at very low ebb
when so strong Liberal borough as
that of Hampstead turned its back on

Congressman Hewitt, of New York,
is inclined to the belief that the tinan-
eialentlook FOR the country is deplor-
able unless some prompt action is taken
on the silver question. He proposes as
soon as congress meets TO introduce his
bill to secure a uniform standard of
value. which provides that gold and
silver coins of legal tender value shall
be interchangeable at their lawful
values ana leaves it to the discretion OF
the Secretaryef the Treasury to con-
tinue or limit the coinage OF standard
silver dollars. The ideas of Mr.. HeW-
lit are good, if they can only be carried
into effect.

That will be the question unless foreign

Correspondent What about the Lib
eral coalition with the government?
Mr.. Parnell--I don't believe in it's
possibility. see no converging lines
between any large sections of the two
English parties. Even if possible,
such combination could not last long.
l doubt whether the Tories could de-
tach even twelve from the Liberals for
the purpose of coalition ministry, and
the dozen SO detached would be a poor
substitute for our eighty-six votes.
Correspondents Which party do you
think will settle the question?
Mr.. Parnell-I expect the settlement
will come from the Liberals, for, assum
ing that they would be about equal to
the Tories and Nationalist combined,
we could give them majority of 10,
which would be quite sufficient to en-
able them to deal with the Irish and
every other question, even making al
lowance for possible detection from
their ranks, whereas the Tories cannot,
even with our aid, get more than a
bare majority, and would be hampered

From age to age the Irish have been

What business had we with their lands,
their churches, their endowments If
we want as Christians to comfort them,

was it to be only by insult and slaugh-
ter ? If we went to bind Ireland to
Britain as sister, was it to be only as
an erring sister whose fortune is to be
flung into the streets and flung out in
her misery ? In whatever character
we pretended to go there, our eyes full
of vengeance and our hands full of

Death of Vim. Fl. Vanderbilt,

William II. Vanderbilt, who died on
| Tuesday last, was about IS years Of age.
AT | O'Clock Of that day Mr. Garrett.
President of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, called upon Mr. Vanderbilt at his
home on Fifth avenue, New York,
Whereupon conference took place be-
tween them upon railroad matters. The
two railroad magnates were discussing
the new terminal facilities of the Balti-
more & Ohio, the new inlet into the
city it had secured by way of Staten
Island, and Mr.. Vanderbilt showed a
lively interest in the results that were
to follow for the island of his birth
from the new enterprise. 1t was while
the talk turned upon this, the scenes of
his childhood and early work contrast
ed with the tremendous achievements
of his old age, that Mr.. Garrett, sitting
ona sofa and facing the millionaire,
who leaned forward in his armchair,
as was his habit when thoroughly in
terested, was suddenly made aware of
a slight indistinctness in Mr. Wander
bits speech that grew into an inarticu-
late sound As he leaned over to catch
his words, Mr., Vanderbilt pitched for
ward without a word of warning and
fell heavily on the floor on his face. Mr..
Garrett sprang to his feet, with an ex-
clamatfon Of alarm. and Selling a pill
low from the sofa, laid it under his
friends head, then summoned Mrs.
Vanderbilt and George, the Youngest
son. Messengers were sent in haste for
physicians. One from the neighbor-
hood responded first, and was followed
almost Immediately by the family doc
tor, DR.. James W. Mclean. Such
simple restoratives as were at hand had
been applied, but human aid was in
vain. Mr.. Vanderbilt never spoke or
moved after he fell under the sudden
stroke. and died within few minutes
without a struggle. To all intents and
purposes he was dead the instant he
fell forward upon the floor. He was
worth about 500. coo eco at the time of
his death.

PARNEIL INTERVIEWED
He Believes that the Nationalist Will
Have IS and Possibly So Members
in the Next Parliament.
An Expressed Belief that Liberal Coalition
With the Government is an
Impossibilty.

Cable dispatches from Dublin OF last
Saturday report All interview with Mr..
Parnell, in which he said: Out of the
eighty nine seats we hoped to carry, we
have failed in only three. They were
doubtful places. Now only one doubt
full seat remains. IF we carry it we
shall have seventeen seats in Ulster, or
clear majority of the Northern Seats
sixty eight in the rest Of Ireland and
one IN England, which makes eighty
SIX altogether. If we fail in South Ty-
rome, we shall have sixteen in Ulster,
leaving seventeen to the Tories. The
totals will be either eighty-six Nation
alists and eighteen Tories or eighty-fve
Nationalist and nineteen Tories. This
bears out exactly my account last
month, except that Thought the Wings
might carry four. or most probably
two, seats, whereal now the party has
none at all. 1t will be seen that the
anti-Irish minority is confined almost
entirely to a small corner OF Ulster,
where the Scotch adventures were
originally planted.
Correspondents on must have been
severely taxed for funds in the late con-
tests.
Mr.. Parnell-Yes. The English allies
Of the Irish landlords supplied $4,000
to start bogus candidates, in the hope
Of exhausting our treasury, but this
hope was defeated by the opportune ar
rival of money from various parts of
America We did, however, spend
600 and this certainly was a heavy
drain. The necessity, therefore, for
continued subscriptions is more press
than ever, especially as more than half
of the new party will need financial aid
to maintain their constant attendance
in parliament, but contests forced upon
us have served as an extraordinary
demonstration Of the weakness Of the
so-called Loyalists everywhere outside
OF Ulster. Those results can be handled
with enormous effect by the English
leader, who may propose constitution
for Ireland.
