iSh StatHSm8n-HiS Mothers Grief.

CORK, Oct. O. Posters are placarded

der and bearing in the center the words:
Murdered to please Engishmen." There

remain tranquil The posters are stirring
up much excitement.
DUBLIN, Oct. 9.-The Freeman'S Journal
and United Ireland both denounce the sem
sational placarding at Cork as an attempt
to incite disorder. United Ireland protests
against anti-PaTnelites attending the obSe-
quies. 1t says the men who tried to drive
Parnell to tile wall ought not to sentimen-
talize over his grave.
The Evening Press of this city says: II

bers Of Parliament will attend the funeral,
as many Of them, especially Mr.. Healy,
have received threats that violence will be
done them If they dare to desecrate the occa-
sion by their presence.
HIS ABILITIES RECOGNIZED.
LONDON, Oct 9.-Earl Spencer, speaking
at Grautham yesterday, said Parnell was a
man of great ability, who served his cOur-
try with the utmost aSsiduity. The Irish
must be overpOwered with the loss of their
greatest leader since 0Connell, and England
ought to sympathiZe with them. He was the
means of bringing about an alliance be-
tween the English and Irish people. This
fact should enable both to forget the unfor-
tunate incidents toward the close of his ca
reer.
Sir Edward Clarke. Conservative member
of Parliament for Plymouth, spe king at
Cardiff. said: "Parnell was the greatest
Parliamentary leader the Irish ever had
and he was bounded to death by men who
but for him oud have been as insigniii-
cant to-day as they were ten years ago, and
who depOsed and abused the man who made
them because they were ordered to do so 6y

nor, member of Parliament for Liverpool,

ing the visit Parnell paid to the United
States, that the Irish leader met at Newport

with whom he fell in love and to whom he
proposed marriage and was cOndtionally
accepted, but either the lady was tickle or a
marriage with a foreigner was hateful to
her American parents, for she married an
other. Parnel felt this blow most acutely.
HARCoURT's VIEWS.
GLASGOW, Oct 9.-Sir William Vernon
HarcOurr, in an address in regard to Par
nell at Glasgow last night, said he played a
great part in the drama now drawing to its
close. The voice of criticism and cOntro-
versy must be huShed to-day, and II is TO be
hoped many bitter memories will be buried
forever. The unhappy dissensions which
ragged around him are henceforth allayed,
and the wounds of his distressful country,
to which he rendered so much valuable
service, are at last healed.
