Ireland never again would place 90 much
power in the hands Of any one man - she did
in the hands Of Parnell. In the future Irish
constituencies themselves, in conjunction with
the executive council of the federation and of
the Irish parliamentary party, would have some
voice in the selection Of their representatives
in parliament. Mr.. Davitt thought that either
Mr.. Sexton or Mr.. Dillon would be the future
official head Of the Irish movement. He would
not be surprised, he said, II Sexton proved the
man, Sexton was an experienced parlia-
mentary debater and tactician. and possessed
other qualities which fitted him for the leader
ship. Mr.. Davitt laid stress upon the fact that
even with united movement the leadership
would never possess anything like the import
ance it did under Parnell.
Singuiarly enough, just on the day OF tho an
nouncement. OF Mr.. Parnells death. Mr.. Dayitt,
in an interview in the Irish World. scores the
former leader for what is termed his ''miser-
able conduct in his attacks upon the priest
hood and in stirring up discord generally in
Ireland.
Il wish all that have said," remarked Mr..
Dayltt to q reporter. Sin condemnation Of Par
nell to be forgotten
Yesterday is not today" he continued, "and
hope from my heart that, while personally
regret Mr.. Parnell's death, il will mark the
beginning OF the end Of Ireland's struggle for
home rule"
TIE IRISH FUNDS.
One very important effect Of Mr.. Parnells
death, Mr.. Davitt thought, would be the re-
lease Of the &200, 900 of Irish funds now tied
up in the hands of Paris bankers. part of
this money would be devoted. he said, I'M
doubtedly toward the aid of the evicted ten
ants and the remainder would be used by the
irish parliamentary party for the expenses of
the general election.
Some other I-ishmen who were interviewed
were less sanguine as to the release of the Paris
fund and feared that Mrs. Parnell would follow
her late husbands policy and refuse her con-
sent TO the release Of the fund. In that case IL
was thought serious complications would en-
sue.

men would be speedily healed q q result of
Mr.. Parnelrs death.
In regard to the funds collected for the cause
OF nome rule and not yet distributed to which
Mr.. Parnelrs death had any relation, Eugene
Kelly said that there were 500, 600 deposited

Parneifs death leaves Dir. Mccarthy the sole
custodian OF the fund, Bisgar having died.
Mr.. Kelly said that MIR. Parnelrs death would
not Interfere with the application OF the money
to purposes for which it was originally given.
AS 70 the general political consequences OF his
death, Mr.. Kelly said that he believed that all
iacttone OF the Irish party would not become
united AID harmonious.
'Bou.anger is dead, Daimaceda is dead, and
Parnell will be corpse within week.
This was saii by George Francis Train last
Thursday night during his speech at mid
ilight supper given by Huber, the museum man,
10 number OF newspaper men in New York
and weli-knowa men about town. A number
OF the party laughed when Train numbered:
I've are r!Iots who laugh. The revolution is

hypnotism. Death, devastation and disease
are IN the air. Two adventurers are dead, the
third, Parnell, has run his course and will be
dead within o week. The transatlantic hyp-
notic-psychic-cable brings the news. The
whole world is a conductor and am the key,
and rapidly swapping his fingers he wound up

and ParEell, poltroon. all dead, atop of the
smoking heaps of the ambitious OF the chivalry
OF three gallant Observation-Disclosures, French
men and Irishmen."
RECEIVING THE NEWS.
The news Of Parnelrs death was received
with genuine regret at Toronto.
The news Of Parnelrs death caused sensa-
ton at Ottawa, where the Irish interest is very
strong. Local lrishmen express deep sorrow
at the death Of the great leader.
The news OF Parnelfs death fell like thun-
derclap among the Irish-American citizens of
Buffalo. OF the effect Of his death on the Irish
cause Mr.: James Mooney, ex-president OF the
National Land League Of America, said that it
would unite the party. He considered the vir-
tual and actual leader now as John Dillon, and
1t appeared to him that Dillon was properly the
choice for the position.
The death of Parnell created profound SEN
sation ut Montreal, where there are two fac
lions. but now hostility is forgotten and only
expressions Of sympathy are heard.
