kind ovor witnessed in Dublin. Besides
ures never seen In any other city in tho
world. Anywhere else demonstration
on SO large q scale would have been
conducted OH regular plan. Here,
however, no systematic plan seemed to
regulate the procession. Yct tho Same
fine instinct OF revcrential order per-
vading everywhere gave tho march an
aspect OF drilled regularity. Through
out the long and tortorouH route, which
the committee OF arrangements Ind So
icctcd with the view to afford the lnrg-
ost part OF the people OF Dublin to Wow
the demonstration. admirable order
was kept. People began gathering in
the cemetery early in the morning, iac-
ing tho wind and drenching showers.
AN IMMENSE CROWD.
BY 4 o'clock the police around the
grave became overwhelmed by the
power OF tho ever increasing crowd and
by the withdrawal OF Il portion OF their
force, who went to try to clear way for
the funeral ut the entrance gates TO the
cemetery.
When the first part OF the procession
reached tho lower cato at 5 O'Clock it
was found to be impossible TO penetrate
tho dense masses. a scene OF great con.
fusion Gnsucd. The procession for u
time was checked and thrown into dis
array. 1t was decided to close tho lower
gate, and this was effected amid great
disorder just as the licarsG reached the
spot. The learSc was then taken to the
upper gates. Hero tho coffin was re-
moved and placed upon platform cs-
pccially constructed for the purpose in
order TO enable those in the procession
TO file around and have n iull view Of
the bier.
At6o'clock tho fast falling dusk found
the procession still filing past. There
seemed no likelihood that the stream Of
marchcrs would end until iar into the
night, and orders were given TO remove
the coffin to the side OF the grave. A
body OF the Clan.na-Guels succeeded in
clearing 4 way to the grave and formed
4 circle.
A TEHRIDLE CRUSH.
The crush around about was terrible.
Darkness had set in. The noise OF
shricking women, tho cries OF children
and the cries OF men struggling amid the
crush made inaudible the voices oi the
clergy rccting the ritual OF the church
OF England.
The first portion OF the service had
been celebrated at st. Nicholas church,
where the remains rested 20 minutes
while on the way from the City Hall.
At the grave Rev. George Fry, OF Man
chester, oiliciatcd. They were obliged
10 cut the services short, us the crowd
broke into the protecting circle and
overwhelmed the inner group.
Some time after, in the dead OF dark
ness, when the crowd had .hinned
away, the more intimate friends again
grouped themselves around the grave,
deposited wreaths thereon and tool; the
last view Of the coffin.
1t was 7 o'clock when the mourners
started TO return to the city. Apart
from the accidental disorder at tho
cemetery the day was without incident.
Probably never anywhere was a great
popular demonstration attended by so
little excitement. Most OF the public
houses remained closed throughout the
day out OF respect to the dead. The
police, uniailingly obtrusivc in Irish
public gatherings, were to-day con-
spicuously absent. Tonight Sunday
quictncss pre:'ails in the city.
