language used was the result of secret
meeting of Parnellites. The situa ton

freemans journal to-day announces,
with most acute pain" that Dillon,
Sexton and others will be forced to alb.
sent themselves from Parnell's funeral.
This journal adds, under the heading,
"A Reign of Terror" eff there is any
violence the Irish people will hold
United Ireland responsible for it,"
Inc same paper says further that the
startling insults to which John Dillon
was subjected show the deep undercur-
rent OF angry feeling which has been
provoked by United ireland. McCar
thyltes had every desire to paw last
tribute to the dead; but it is now ner.
fectly plain that they could not do so
without rendering probable an insult TO
tho sacred dead by causing an exhibition
Oh lntolerable anger upon the part of an
Infatuated section OF his followers.
Nothlng but desire to preserve public
peace and determination to guard Ire

dec sion TO be absent.
