LONDON. OCT. lU.-A0 enormous COu-
course of people surrounded Walslngham
Terrace this morning W hen the remains of
the lac Charles Stewart Parnell were
taken 10 u the house. Slowly and
sadly was the body placed in an open
hearse, and by 1915 p. m. the cortege
started for the railroad station amid ter
rife dOwnpour of rain. Immediately fol-
lowing the hearse in mourning coaches
was the committee Of Parnell's colleagues
IN parliament. who had been selected to
escort the body TO Holyhead. The route
10 the station was lined with masses Of
neople. VINO silently and respectfully
watched the passage of the funeral pro
cesSion At the station the remains were
placed on board the funeral train, and,
with the members Of the parliamentary
marty as watchers, started for NllleSden
junction, to which place the car will be
taken direct and where it will be Joined at
6 D. m TO the train bound for Holyhead.
The remains consequently VIII not pass
through London, as at first proposed.
Ms Parnel is utterly unable to accom-
pany the rema ns t) Dublin. She is too Ill
ve undertake the journey.
There was a terrible scene INSIDE the
house when the ca,ket was about to be re-
moved. The grief of Mrs. Parnell was
most poignant and she could with diff
Guilty be persuaded to allow the coffin to be
taken away. As a mark of respect to the
dead the blinds of many houses along the
route followed by the funeral procession
on its way to the station were drawn down,
and on every side were signs OF sincere
sympathy. The casket was covered with
magnificent wreaths of flowers, one of
which in the center of all, was from his
wife. As the hearse passed them, despite
the downDOuring rain, the spectators took
of their mats and stood uncovered until
the last carriage had gone by.

containing, among others, Mrs. Dickinson

James G. Fitzgerald, NJ. P. Also in the
mournful procession was a deputatlon
from the Dublin corporation leadership
committee, sent to escort the body TO
Dublin. At the railroad station at Brlgh-
ton the funeral party waited an hour, the
building being packed with people pressing
forward to get glimpse of the casket. 1t
was lao p. m. before the remains were
placed on board the train, which then
started for Willesden Junction.
When the train containing the body of
Parnell arrived at Willesden, great crowd
rushed towards the carriage in which the
remains were deposited. As the doors
were opened every one reverenJly barred
his head and stood with silent expectancy,
apparently waiting for some leading Par
nellte TO speak. II was found, however,
that lack OF time would not permit any
ceremony. 1t had been planned that when
the coffin should be temporarily removed
from the car, some distinguished member
of the league was to deliver an address,
but all that it was possible to do WAS to
uncover the coffin and allow the people TO
pass in single file through the railway
carriage. This was successfully carried
out. Many persons In the line were OBJ
served to be moved to tears Delegates
from the several branches of the London
league placed wreaths upon the bier. Mrs.
Parnells wreath was visible at the head
of the caskeU when the funeral train
reached Nillesden junction. 1t bore in
letters, beautifully md artstically formed
of flowers, the words; ITO my own true
loye-my husband. my king"

pain," that Messrs. Dillon, Sexton and

Carded from end to end with posters de-
scrbing the order of the procession and
the route IL will follow.
James Stephens. The ex-leader of the

special position in the parade, which,
without doubt, Will be a most remarkable
turning out of the masses of the Irish
people.

Carthyites had every desire 10 pay a last
tribute 10 the dead. bat IL Is now perfectly
plain that they could not do SO without
rendering probable an insult TO the sacred
dead by causing an exhibition Of intolera-

section of his followers. Nothing but a
desire 10 preserve the public peace, and
determination 10 guard Ireland from re-
