News of Parnell's Death Caused Univer-
sal Sorrow In Ireland.
DUBLIN, Oct. Now that Parnell is
dead, it is said, it was a matter of no.
toriety among his intimate friends that
his health had been rapidly declining
for months past. His friends and doc
tors, they say, urged him in vain to be
more careful, but all their remonstranceH
were unavailing. Mr.. Parnell continued
to work at the highest pressure, and un-
derwent constant privations and fatigu-
ing journeys that would have ruined i
the health of the strongest man. At
Creegs September 9th Parnell COM
planned OF a peculiar pain in the region
of the heart which never troubled him
before.
There was tremendous excitement in
this city when the report of his death
spread among the masses. One of the
results was a great rush for the various
newspaper offices, in endeavors to get
confirmation OF the startling informa-
ton. The offices of the National league
were fairly besieged with an excited
throng OF warm-hearted Irishmen, who
had forgotten all about their troubles
with Parnell in their desire to express
sympathy for the great leader OF the
Irish people, who had fought 90 many
battles in behalf of home rule. Many
tear-stained faces were seen among the
crowd.
Prominent Parnellites, who have been
interviewed upon the subject, declare
that it will not affect their position, and
that they intend to continue in inde-
dependent opposition to the party which
has fought against their leader.
The Mail, commenting on his death,
says. "Now the battle for home rule
must be fought on its own merits. All
the same every generous heart will
lament the tragic career OF the Irish
Rienzi."
Alta meeting of the national fedora
ton, the McCarthyite organization in
this city, David Sheehy, member of par
lament for South Galway, submitted a
motion to adjourn in consequence OF the
death OF Parnell. Adopted and ad-
journed.
Cork, Oct. 7.-The announcement of
the death of Parnell produced here a
feeling of atupefacetion. Groups of peo-
pie gathered in the streets and discussed
the event, many showing poignant
grief. The feeling was sharad by the
political opponents of Parnell. Current
opinion among the McCarthyites agrees
his death ends all sectional feud among
Irishmen, and the consensus of opinion
is that it will increase the weight of the
Irish vote. Prominent members of the
Nationalist party at Liverpool, upon
being interviewed today, declared
that nothing can now sever the party
at the next general election,
and that they will make clean sweep
of all the Irish districts. Parnell had
continued to attach the greatest import
ance to the support he received from
America. He only abandoned his pro-
posed trip to the United States this au-
tumn when he was convinced that il
would be fatal to be absent from Ireland
He had decided, however, at all risks to
go before the general election took place
in order to raise funds.
BELFAST, Oct. 7.-On the receipt oi
the news OF the death OF Parnell, al
Belfast, placard with deeply mourning
borders was posted throughout the city
This was headed murdered and un
derneath the words, 'Is it true? Say
priests, is it true?"
