there were no demonstrations along the
railway routes until Chester was reached.

Manchester, Preston, Newcastle-on-
Tyne and other places Joined the train.
Mr. Parnelrs colleagues in Parliament
extended greetings to the various deputa-
tions.
The funeral train reached Holyhead
about o'clock. 1t was typical British
October morning = dark, dismal, wet,
cold and hazy. Notwithstanding the un-
favorable surroundings, eager groups of
people had collected on the quay to watch
the transterence of the coffin from the
train to the mail boat. The case in which
the coffin had been placed was borne
upon the shoulders of seamen to the
steamer. The Parnellites followed next
behind. Sobs were distinctly audible as
the procession filed down the double
Eangway to the ship. The coffin was de-
posted in an inclose specially fitted up
Jor its reception, and here faithful follow
Crs OF the dead chief kept watch through
out the voyage across the channel, reliev-
ing one another at regularly stated inter
walls. Amongst those who kept guard
were the Lord Mayor of Dublin, High
Sheriff Meade, and Mr.. Parnell, brother
OF the deceased.
The journey across was uneventful, the
boat making the passage in gale of wind
and through torrents of rain.
At Kingstown crowd had collected to
receive the remains on Irish soil. Con-
spicuous among those present, followers

Joseph L. Kenny, L. Lawrence Carew,
James j. Dalton, T. Rockford Mcguire,
John j. Clancy, VIM. j. Corbet, Colonel
John 2. Nolan and Patrick O'Brien.
These, with the members of the House of
Commons, who followed the body from
London, and the kingStown delegation,
comprised nearly all the parliamentary
adherents of Mr.. ParneQ. All gathered
around the coffin in absolute silence,
which was unbroken even by the eX-
change Of friendly greetings until after
the transference of the body to the rail-
way carriage. The short distance was
soon made, the train arriving at Dublin
station at 1:30.
\ vast but silent crowd, with uncov-
cred heads, awaited the train as it rolled
into the station. Timothy Harrington,
eJember of Parliament for Dublin Har-
e OF, and DR.. Hackell, who attended Par
nell when his eyes were injured in Kill
kenny, as well as other notabilities, here
joined the swelling funeral procession.
Conspicuous in front of the dense masses
Of people were members of the Gaelic
Athletic Association, with the hurlers
used in their sports all draped with black
Grape caught up with green ribbon.
Representatives of the different branches
Of the League wore black badges, upon
which were printed the dying words of
the statesman, Give my love to nv col
leagues and the Irish Nation"
On being removed from the train the
coffin was lifted into the hearse Floral
tributes literally covered the top of the
learse, and were piled around the coffin
These, after they had been put aside,
We're eagerly seized upon by the crowd,
broken into small pieces and kept as
Iaementos of the SAD occasion.
As the hearse moved from the station a
body of police formed the front OF the
procession. a band of the Working
mems Union followed directly behind
the police escort, and played dead
march. Then came the Gaelic Athletic
Association, with hurlers reversed, re-
sembling a military body at reversed
arms" As the march progressed, the
crowd grew denser.
The City Hall was soon reached. Its
\ violent rainstorm streamed down as
tae coffin was borne into the hall. At
10 O'Clock the gates were opened, and in
stantly people poured into the hall.
The body lay in state in the Council
Chamber. Photographs were taken,
taen the public admitted to see the coffin,
which was placed at the base of the
U'Connell statue, and on either side, in
bold relief, were statues of Grattan and
Lucas.
Conspicuous on the coffin were three
wTeaths from Mrs. Parnell, cross,
anchor and circle, with inscriptions:
My own true love, best, truest friend
1ny husband. From his broken-hearted
Wife" Inside this inscription was the
following: My dear love, my husband
From his broken-hearted wife,; and still
within this was: MY dear love, my
husband, my king. From his broken
Hearted wife" There were also two
lovely little wreaths from Mrs. Parnell's
two daughters, with the words: From
little Clara and little Fittie, to our dear
IaOther's husband"
From 10 o'clock till in the afternoon a
continuous stream of people poured into
the hall. 1t is estimated that 10000 per-
sons paid their respects to the illustrious
dead. Nearly all were in deep mourning
Ilen with band of black Grape inter
woven with green ribbon around their
arm. Despite the drenching rain, large
proportion of mourners were women.
At 2:45 the procession started led by
the executive OF the Leadership Commit
tee. Following came the bier, drawn by
SIX coal black horses, surrounded bv
Parliamentary colleagues of Mr.. Parnell
As the colin passed, almost hidden in
flowers, every head in the vast assem-
Ilage was uncovered. Mr.. Parnelrs
favorite horses followed the bier. Then
came a strong body of the Clan-na- Gael,
headed by James Stephens and John
O'Leary. Prominent among the indi-
vidual members in the procession was
Ohm O'Connor, leading by the arm the
blind member Mcdonald. Then came
carriages containing Mrs. Dickinson, sis
ter of Parnell. Parnell's brother and
other nearer friends. The Lord May

and sword and mace-bearers, was next
behind the family carriages. Then fol-
lowed representatives of the corporations
of the principal Irish towns, various
trade societies, Foresters, home rulers,
private carriages and citizens on foot.
Just SIS the procession started the rain
ceased. The scene was most impressive
Iii the windows and housetops along
the line of march were packed with peo-
ple. The procession surpassed, in point
q numbers, anything of the kind ever
witnessed in Dublin.
Throughout the long route admirable
order was kept till the cortege came near
Glasnevin. People began gathering in
the cemetery early in the morning, facing
the wind and drenching showers. Dur
ing the waiting throughout the day the
crowd inspected the turf-lined tomb,
guarded by a single group OF police, who
