PARNELL REST
Thousands Of Mourners Follow His
Remains to the Tomb,
MONSTER DEMONSTRATION
In the Metropolis Of the Land for Whose
Liberty He Planned.
NO SCENE OF DISORDER

fdrucl drrlVtu db hluRbtOn Nv a. hA-
Sunday. There was no demonstration
along the line from London until Ches-
ter was reached, when deputations from
Liverpool, Manchester, Preston and
Newcastle, all destined for Dublin,
Joined the train. The parliamentary
colleagues of Mr.. Parnell, including
John Redmond, John 0'Connor, Joseph
Nolan, DIR. Fitzgerald, James 0'Kelly
and Henry Campbell, were among the
people that greeted the deputations on
their arrival at Holyhead, where the
train got in at o'clock In the morning,
in wet and hasy weather that well be-
came the mournfulness Of the scene.
Groups were collected on the quay to
watch the transfer of the coffin from
the train to the mail boat Ireland
II was most depressing spectacle.
The darkness as the body was borne
from the train wns unrelieved except
by few lamps, that fickered uncan-
nily, throwing weird light over the
large white wooden case that contained
the coffin. The case was borne on the
shoulders Of seamen to the side Of the
vessel. The Parnellite members Of
parliament and deputations followed
with uncovered heads, and. sobs that
could not be suppressed gave testimony
TO their grief, as the procession fled
down the gangway into the ship. Tho
coffin was deposited In an enclosure
specially fitted for it. Throughout the
voyage across the stormy waters that
separate the two countries, some Of the
Parnellites were all the time on guard
over the remains of their beloved leader.
Among the watchers was the Lord
Mayor Of Dublin, High Sheriff Meade
and J. Il. Parnell, brother Of the de.
parted.
The boat made the passage in gale
of wind and rain. Atthe Kingston pier
. multitude was gathered to receive the
remsinA With the Irish members who
had followed the body from England,
the group at Kingston included nearly
every parliamentary adherent Of Par
nell They all gathered around the cof-
fin In absolute silence, unbroken even
by the exchange of friendly greetings,
until after the remains had been trans
ferred TO the train for Dublin.
A vast silent crowd awaited with un-
covered heads as the train steamed into
the station at Dublin. Timothy Har-
rington, NJ. p, was there, and DIR.
Hackett who attended Parnell when
his eyes were hurt ut Kilkenny, and
they Joined the band Of mournerA Con.
spicuous In front Of the dense masses
of people were members OF the Gaelic
and Athletic societies, with their hurl-
ers used in their sports draped in black
and tied with green ribbon. The rep
rescntatives Of branches Of the Nation
al League wore black badges on which
were the dying words Of Parnell: "Give
my love TO my colleagues and the Irish
nation
When the remains had been removed
In solemn silence from the train, the
coffin was taken from the case that en-.
veloped It and was lifted into the hearse,
the glass panels Of which permitted q
full exposure OF the coffin to public
view The wreaths and other foral
tributes covered the top Of the hearse
and were heaped about the coffin. The
case In which the coffin had been en-
closed on the way TO Dublin was laid
aside. The crowd Immediately seized
upon and broke 1t into small pieces tc
carry away as mementoea As the
hearse moved from the station body o.
police formed before the procession
which. without any design or marshal
ing, appeared TO fall into an orderly lin,
In purely extemporized fashion. A bant
and the workingmen's union followed
next after the police, the band playing
the Dead March in Saul" Then cam,

The city hall OF Dublin was reached
at $50 a. m. and q dense rain cam,
down as the coffin was borne into tn,
hall towards the catafalque The rail
poured down In torrents for an hour
but II did not diminish the vast con
course that thronged toward the hall
ignoring the elements in their anxiet,
TO show their esteem for their believe,
leader. Reverential quiet pervaded tn
crowd, unbroken by partisan cries o
the remotest symptom Of tendency :
disorder
At 10 o'clock the gates were opene
and the people poured into tho interior
