The Aged Mother Of the Great Irish
Agitator Living in Extreme
Destitution.
Found on the Verge of a Physical
Collapse With Very Little
to Eat.


BoEDENTowN, N. j., Nov. l6.-Dr. Jenkins.
of Trenton, was called TO the residence of
Mrs. Delin Parnell today 10 treat that lady,
He says he found the mother of the great
Irish agitator yerging on a complete collapse
and suffering from congestion of the brain,
When he called she was about to dine on
vegetables without either bread or coffee.
There is nothing 20 feed the live stock on
the place and her Irish servant had sold
some wood TO buy food for over Sunday.
The neighbors say Mrs. Parnell has been
in extreme destitution for some time past.
but has concealed the fact and had told
them she did not wish her son TO know il,
his burden already being great and his re-
sources almost entirely exhausted. Mrs.
Pamolrs property in Philadelphia is in
yolved in litigation and the homestead
where she is living is mortgaged.
Edward Steven. who is acting as Mrs.
Panell's servant and manager Of the prop
erty, is an Irish patriot, who was prisoner
with parnell in Kilmainham Jail. sleevin
confirms the stories of Mrs. Parnell's poy-
erty and her refusal 10 let her son know.
lie says she s very destitute and has scarce
ly the nscessaries Of life.

NEw lom, Now lG.-A reporter called
this morning at the consulatc-goneral Of
Brazil. Senior Salvador De Mendonc0, the
consul general, resides in Washington
most of the time aud could not be seen.
Sub-Chancellor John G. Redmon, Who
knows brazilian politics we'll, gave his per-
sonal opinion in the matter. Rcdmon says
the so-callod revolution can hardly he nny-
thing more than mot between the military
and marine, or rather u bloody encounter
between the students Of the military and
naval schools. who always have been very
jealous Of each other, and seize every op
portunty 20 fight among themselves. What
confirms him in this opinion is the shoot
ing of the minister Of the navy. II is not
admissible that revolution tending 10 the
overthrowing Of the imperial government
could take place IN the middle ut November,
hnrdy month ufter the general election
which took place in October, and resulted
in The overwhelming and peaceful victory
Of the liberals over the ultra conservatives
The new ministry and new parliament had
n majority of three -fourths of the total vote
IN the county. The republicans are IN a
minority. Moreover. the new ministry in
composed of the ablcsi men in Brazil. Now
look at the origin OF the dis
patches - not one official. One
comes from Rio 60 a New York
rubber firm; Others FROM London to the
copper firms. This fact becomes suspicious
at Tins time of the year. II looks strong
ly like a comp de bourse, intended to rates
prices in rubber and coffee. From private
letters know that the coffee crop will be
short this year and production will be re-
duced half. 80 TINT il seems be be pretty
good time to wire such news 10 New York.

crOss examination Of Clancy wus directed to
