OTTAWA (Ont.), Oct. 20-The Home
Government called upon the Governor
General to request the Minister of Militia
to submit to His Excellency at the earliest
possible moment for transmission to
Downing street the report on the de-
fenses and Notifications of Canada, which
was prepared some time since under the
supervision of his department.. Lord
Saisbury's Administration is preparing
military estimates and revising the
whole imperial system of outlay for pur-
poses OF otfense and defense, and requires
this information from Canada as part of
the data for revision. Major General
Herbert, commander of the military in
Canada, it is understood, has made gen
eral report to the Imperial Government
on the militia system of the Dominion.
The report which the Minister of Militia
has been requested to transmit to London
is more elaborate one than this, and
covers far more ground, with greater
particularly of detail.

IN the house of commons. Land league
demonstrations followed the passage of
the land act, and the government pro-
claimed the Land league to be an illegal
association, and Mr.. Parnell issued the
mo Rent" manifesto. Mr.. Parnell re-
manned in Kilmainham Jail till April,
1882. when he was released on parole in
order to attend the funeral of a relative.
He was formally released May 2. Then
followed the resignation of Mr.. Forster
and Lord Cowper, the Phoenix park MUIR
ders and the stormy debates on the crimes
bill. In these scenes and the subsequent
organization of the National league in
1888, and in parliament in 1SS4-5, Mr.. Par
nell was the most conspicuous figure. On
the dissolution of parliament he returned
back with eighty-five members 1t was to
meet this situation that Mr.. Gladstone
proposed horne rule, in which he was sup
ported by Mr.. Paraen and the whole
strength of his party. The sensations
growing out of the Parnell commission
and the Times libel suit are of too recent
occurrence to need special mention: Mis-
fortunes overlook Mr.. Parnell in public
notice of his relation to Mrs. O'Shea,
whom he recently married. The attitude
of Mr.. Glads zone and the Irish bishops
compelled his deposition as an Irish
leader.

In this city, particularly, the news of
Mr.. Parnell's death came down like a
thunderbolt upon the clubs and in poit-
ical circles. Nobody, so far as was at
first known, was even aware that he
was ipdisposed, and, consequently, when
II became known that the Irish leader
was dead, naturally the first idea formed
was that he had committed suicide.
AS the day wore on, however. it
leaked out from the statements of his
intimate friends that Mr.. Parnen had
complained to them recently of not feel
ing as well as usual, but it was not
thought by anybody that there was any
thing serious in the symptoms referred
to by the late member for Cork city,
though he was thinner than he was last
year. The last time Mr.. Parnel APP
peared in public was at Greggs, in Ires
land, Sept. 81, when he delivered long
speech upon the attitude and alleged in
consistencies of Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien. Upon that occasion Mr.. Par
nell stated that he was speaking in
defiance of the doctors, who were at
tending him, and who had expressly
ordered him to keep his room.
