Ordered to Valparaiso.

NEwY DIRK, Oct 13.-About noon yes.
terday word was received at the Brook
lyn navy yard from the navy depart
ment at Washington ordering the war
ship Yorktown TO sail to Valparaiso,
Chilli, at noon to-day. At the yard it
was known that the vessel, with the
Boston, was destined to sail for the
the south Pacific, yet such hasty de-
parture was entirely unlocked for. The
officers and men are firm in the belief
that important information concerning
the situation in Chill! was yesterday re-
ceived by the navy department from
Valparaiso.
It is calculated that the run from here
TO Valparaiso will consume forty-hve
DAYS. The Yorktown will carry l6S
bluejackets- The officers and crew
were delighted yesterday on receiving
their sudden sailing orders, the ships
company looking eagerly forward TO
possible brush with the Chilians.

Her Story OF shame.

OAKLAND. Cal, Oct. 13.-In the d.
vorce case of George G. Pratt against
Bertha G. Pratt, whom he accuses OF
misconduct with l. L. Cromwell, presi-
dent of the California Insurance COM
pany, Judge Ellsworth yesterday ruled
that the alleged confession Of Mrs.
Pratt should be admitted In evidence
and the confession was then read. It
consisted OF several thousand words and
in it Mrs. Pratt professed to tell her
meetings with Cromwell.
Her counsel asserted that the confess
sion was written at the time Of the trial
OF Plat for shooting Cromwell some
months ago; that 1t was designed TO Sc
cure Pratt's acqulttal on that charge;
that It was obtained from Mrs. Pratt
by force, and therefore should not be
admitted in evidence. The court held
that, while influence was undoubtedly
used to secure confession, such influence
did not amount to duress.

CHAS. S. PARNELL DEAD.
The Irish Leader Passes Sud-
- denly Away.
While Mr.. Parn.Il has Been Failing
for Several Months, His Death was
aBurprisc TO AIl-Ths Imno-
dlRto Cause Unknown.

LONDON. Octobsr 13.-Great Britain
and Ireland were startled this morning
by the utterly unlocked for announce
ment that Charles Stewart Parnell, the
noted Irish leader, died suddenly yes
terday evening ut his home in Brigh-
ton.
1t has been we'll known that Mr.. Par
nell has not enjoyed the best OF health
for years past, and IL has been noticed
and widely commented upon that since
the O'Shea divorce developments be-
came a matter OF public notoriety, and
since political trouble came upon him
the great Irish member OF parliament
had grown thinner, and that he had
perceptibly aged in appearance, but no,
body expected 10 hear OF his death, and
no inkling as to his illness had reached
the newspapers.
Only at this hour Il g. m. has 1t been
possible to obtain the details in regard
to the death O! Mr.. Parnell. He died
ut his home, Walshingham Terrace.
Brighton. at 1880 last night. His death
is said to have been indirectly due to
chill which he caught last week, ana
which at first was not regarded as being
of serious nature. Mr.. Parnell, how
ever, grew worse, and physician was
called in with the result that
the patient was ordered 10 take his
bed. This was on Friday last, and from
that time he lost strength and finally
succumbed.
The exact nature OF the disease which
caused the death OF the Irish leader Is
rot known at present.

The Kilkenny Member Who Defeated Par
neIl's Candidate P>sses Away.
LONDON, October 13.-Sir John Pope
Hennessey, M. P. for Kilkenny Is dead.
Sir John Pope Hennesseys defeat OF
Mr.. Vincent Scully brought him into .
prominence that he could have enjoyed
long before, had he wished te relinquish
the many favors received at the hands
of the English government for polit-
ical life in which notoriety figures by
the side of such work as has been be-
fore Parnell. Indeed, 1t has often
been said that he might lave reached
the same seat OF prominence had he
wished it.
Sir Hennessey was born in Cork in
1894 and was one OF the few self-made
men OF Great Britain. He was q man
of strong individuality and marked
force OF character. He also possessed
glib tongue and smooth, plausible man.
ner which assisted in bringing him to
the fore in his candidacy against the
Parnellite Scully.
Hennessey began the study Of law and
in 1861 was admitted to the bar from
the Inner Temple. All this time he
was pursuing policy Of getting into
the government and making himself
indispensable to it. He was successful.
so that on every hand he was received
with attention and consideration. In
1867 he was knighted and soon after left
immediate parliamentary service to en-
ter the colonial government. He be-
came governor in turn OF the West AT
rican settlements, the Bahamas, the
Windward islands and Hong Kong. All
the time he was In receipt OF very rich
salaries. His last official position was
as governor OF Mauritas.
Aside from his polite renown and
distinction as man of wealth. Sir Hen
nessey occupied u high place in the so
cial world. His home was Rostellan
castle, Cork, where he reigned supreme
through the country side while he was
not abroad. Indeed, so prominent was
he socially that he became the origin.
al OF "Phineas Finn. the Irish Member"
by Anthony Trollope. In this, as is
well known, the leading character was
made to portray the character OF rich
hunting squire, a handsome young con-
sentative, q society man and leading
barrister. That was Hennessey all
over-a type of the Irish gentleman.
|! Sir John married his wife in Maurltas,
where she owned vast estates. When
he came home his people wondered
whether his wife was black or yellow.
When they found her white they evin-
ced surprise and qualification.

Austerlitz behind him. With these,
Waterloo to Napoleon was still glori-
