his church for the ceremony II Mr.. PaInell
found a clergyman to of1iciate. The Bishop
of the diocese then forbade the ceremony, as
the parties were already clvllly married.
Finally, through ParnelPs perseverance, it
was arranged that the Rev. Mr.. Penfoid of
St James, Marylebone, should oficiate,
and Mr. Parnell intended to seek license,
when the Bishop Of Chichester, who was on
the Continent, returned.
CHANIBERLAIN's VIEWS.
Joseph Chamberlain. when interviewed
regarding Parnell'S death. said it might in
tiuence the Government 10 go to the country
on the present legislation, but he added, it
was more likely the Government would en-
deavor to pass the Irish Government BIll,
with n fair prospect that it could be done If
the opposition would adopt the same attl-
tude toward the measure; but it would be,
he thought, late in 1892 before the measure
could become law.
M'CARTHY's SORROW.
Justin Mccarthy said that it was imp0s-
sible to forecast the political effect of the
death of Paruell. Mccarthy added. how
ever, that he hoped it would lead to CON-
plete reunion of all shades of opinion among
Irlshmen in general, and in the Irish Par
llame5nt,3Sry party II. IN p,arhcular Ger. th
progress of the movement for the self
government of Ireland" Mccarthy be-
leved that all feeling of hostility to Parnell
or of hostility between the individual MEM
bers of the Irish Parliamentary party would
be swallowed up and would completely dis
appear in the feeling of genuine and uni
yersal regret which was experienced among
lIlshmeD at the death of Parnell.
A MUTUAL AGREEMENT.
"Three weeks ago." Mr.. Mccarthy said.
we (Parnell and MYSELF had long and
friendly conference at my house at Chel-
sea, and we mutually agreed to draw part
of the Paris fund to defray the expenses of
registering which were incurred before the
split in the party. Before the divorce pro-
ceedingS," said Mccarthy in conclusion, 81
was a close friend of Parnell, whom l ad-
mired intensely. Parnell consulted ME in
regard to the lamentable manifesto, and
used all MY efforts in endeavuring to pre-
vent him from issuing it to the public. My
idea in trying to prevent him from so doing
was that the issuance of the manifesto
would make his further leadership of the
Irish party an utter impOsSibilitY." 1t was
evident that Mccarthy and the members of
his party were affected at ParnelPs death,
and that all feeling of anmosity to the
great Irish leader had sunk beneath the
flood of sorrow caused by his sudden and
uutmely death.
A news agency stltes that among his
complicated private affairs Parnell left un-
settled the question of the custody of his
wife's youngest children. at is no secret"
says the same authority, THAT Mr.. Pdrnell
claimed to be the father of the two young
est children OF Mrs O'Shea."
CONSERVATION IN IRELAND.
Telegrams from principal towns in En-
gland aud ireland unite in reporting the
death of Parnell has caused the greatest
sensation among his supporters, principally
on account OF its suddenneSs. In Dublin
his supporters are in state of cOnStefna-
tiOn. 4 meeting was hastily called as soon
l,f 4 - >
was decided that a meeting of all ParnelP 5
followers in that city be called for this even
ing. The object is to consider what steps
to take in the face of a most disastrous
event for their party.
DEATH OF AN OPPONENT.
Coupled with the announcement that
Parnell died last night, the news is that
Sir John Hennessy, the Member of Parlia-
ment for North Kilkenny, is also dead.
Hennessy, it will be remembered, immedi-
ately alter the exposure in the great 0'Shea
divorce case. contested the North Kilkenny
election, backed by ParnelPs opponents,
and defeated the Parnellite candidate, VIM
great, possibly the greatest, test of strength
between the ParnellteS and the Mccarthy
ties, and the defeat of Scully no DOUBT
counted for great deal in the future series
of disasters which befell the Irish leader.
RESPECT FROM THE M'CARIHYITEs.
DUBLIN, Oct. AT meeting of the Ma
tiOnal Federation of the McCarthyite or
ganZatiOu in this city David Sheehy, a
member Of Parliament for South Galway,
submitted a motion that the meeting ad-
jOurn in consequences of the death of Par
nell. The motion was adopted and the
meeting adjourned.
HIS STRENGTH ovERTAXED.
Now that Paruell is dead it is said it was
matter of notoriety among his intimate
friends that his health had been rapidly de-
cining for months past. His friends and
the doctors, they say. urged him in vain TO
be more careful, but all their remonstrances
were unavailing. Mr.. Parnell continued to
work at the highest pressure and underwent
constant priyatiOns and fatiguing journeys,
which would have ruined the health of the
strongest man. At Creegs, on September
9th, Parnell complained IF peculiar pain
in the region of his heart which never
troubled him before.
SYMPATHY OF THE MASSES.
There was tremendous excitement In this
city when the report of his death spread
among the masses. One Of the results was
a great rush for the various newspaper
Offices in endeavOrs to get confirmation of
the startling information. The Offices Of
the National League were fairly besieged
with an excited 2oncOurse of hearted
Irishmen, who had forgotten all about the
troubles with Parnell in their desire to eX-
press their sympathy with the great leader
of the Irish people, who had fought SO
many battles in behalf of home rule. and
many tear-stained faces were seen among
the crowd. Prominent Parnellltes who
have been interviewed upon the subject de-
clare it will not affect their position and
that they intend to continue in independent
opposition to the party which has fought
against their leader.
LINKED WITH IRELAND's DEsTINIEs.
The Dublin Catholic, the official organ of
the Catholic hierarchy. will print tomorrow
letter written by Archbishop Walsh, in
which he says that ParnelPs death is one of
those events which remind the world of
God. Such tears as are shed must be for
the memory of what ne had once been. The
name of Parnell and the story of Ireland's
destinies are forever linked. The record of
bis services must always live. Pity is that
1t must be read through tangled veil.
SECTIONAL FEELING ENDED.
CORK, Oct THE announcement of the
death OF Parnell produced here feeling oi
stupefaction. Groups of people gathered
in the streets and discussed the sad event.
many showing poignant grief. This, feeling
was shared by the political opponents OF
Parnell. The current opinion among the
McCartbytes is that his death ends all sec
census of opinion is that it will increase the
weight of the Irish vote.
THE PARTY NOW UNITRD.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 7.-Promneut members
of the Nationalist party, upon being inter-
viewed to-day. declared that nothing car
now sever the party at the next genera
election, and that they will make clean
sweep Of all the Irish districts. Parnell had
continued to attach the greatest importance
to the support he received from America
He only abandoned his proposed trip TO the
United States this autumn when he was
convinced that it would be fatal to be alb
sent from Ireland. He had decided, how.
ever. at all risks to 90 before the genera
election took place in order to raise funds.
