The announcement of the forthcoming

great misgivingS in certain quarters. a

Covers asking the reason for such action,
ELECTED the following reply: 1.-The post
mortem examination will be made at our
wish and with the consent of Mr.. ParnelPs
friends 1t has not been ordered" DIR.

as plain case as any he ever attended
THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH.
\ dispatch from Brighton, sent at 5
O'Clock this afternoon, saws the doctor s
certificate. which has just been filed, states
that Mr. Parnell's death was caused by
rheumatic fever, resulting in excessive tenn
perature and failure of the heat.
Dr.. Covers, son of the famous specialist
on nervous diseases, DR. William Richard
Covers. F. r. s.. both of whom were in at
tendance upon MIR. Parnell during his last
sickness, in an interview to-day, said that
the death Of Mr. Parnell was due to acute
rheumatism and congestion OF the lungs
The elder Covers signed the certificate of
death TODAY. but he would not say anything
for publication in regard to the last moments
of the distinguished patient, giving as his
reason for reticence that he does not wish TO
disturb the grief of the sorrowing relative
by newspaper reports.
Mrs Parnell is still prostrated with grief,
and. though weak and exhausted from long
watching and the terrible shock experienced,
she positively refuses to partake of any
food or refreshment, and will only see her
daughter.
NO POST NIORTEM EXAMINATION.
AT midnight, after giving the subject
considerable deliberation, the medical
authorities have decided to forego the pro-
posed post mortem examination. DIR. Cow
ers and two other physicians carefully ex-
amined the body before ii was deposited in
the coffin. and they agreed that there was
no necessity for any.
The remains have undergone a rapid
change-so rapid, indeed, that it has been
found advisable to close the she'll There will
be no religious ceremony at Brighton. The
body will he conveyed TO London on SatuT-
dav arriving there in time to catch the
Irish night mail train. Messrs. Redmond
and Mahony are in charge of the details of
the funeral. The body Will be placed in
lesden coffin.
During the patient delirium, some hours
before he died, he talked constantly of Ire
land and told whai he would do for her if
he lived. In brief lucid interval Just be-
fore death, he said, and they were almost
his last words, "Let my love be conveyed
TO nv colleagues and the Irish people"
When these words were subsequently COM
municated to a meeting of delegates many
Of them burst into tears.
NO RECONCILIATION MOVE YET.
Justin Mccarthy. in an interview to-
night, said that no movement had vet been
made by either section Of the Irish party
tow&~d a reconciliation. and that nothing
was likely to be done in that direction until
after the funeral of Mr.. Parnell had taken
place. All the Nationalists would certainly
attend the obsequies of their former leader,
and he hoped that a meeting of the oppos-
ing sections of tie party on such an occasion
would result in a reunion of the Irish forces.
The delegation of Members of Parliament,
who followed the lead of Mr. Parnell to the
last. arrived at Brighton this afternoon
After receiving the doctors certificate Civ
ing definitely the cause of Mr. Parnells
death, they adopted a resolution expressing
the deepest sorrow at the sudden and unex-
pected death Of their chief, and heartfelt
sympathy with Mrs. Parneu The eldest
daughter of Mrs. Parnell was present at the
meeting of the Pameliite delegates and con-
veyod messages between the delegation and
her mother.
HEALEY IN NO HURRY.
Timothy n. Healev, Member of Parlfa-
ment for North Longford, and probably
Mr Parnell's most bitter opponent, was
-, II -, 4 I, r
upon the political situation. He declined
to say anything regarding politics, remark
ing: 'As Nr. Harrington has declined to
make statement concerning the intention
of his party, we, for our part, are deter
mined to maintain truce for the present"
On SATURDAY. morning Mr. Panell wasnot
able to rise, but Mrs Parnell read Glad
stones great speech TO him in bed Mr..
Parnen dictated q statement for United Ire
land
Parnell's last political utterance is of
peculiar interest. In it be expressed him
self as much disappointed with Gladstone's
promises for home rule. It was sandwiched
in between less important British measures
10 delude the laborers with. ''It is" said
Parnell, ''when we turn to this treatment of
Ireland that we are disappointed.
ONLY LIMITED HOME RULE.
'sFor some time past seceders have been
whispering of the great declaration they
expected from Gladstone as to the charac-
ter of his home rule bill, declarations which
were to overwhelm all Parnellites with
confusion but on turning TO this portion of
his speech we find little ur nothing about
home rule, aud even that characterized by
greater YagarieS than ever. He tells us,
indeed, that Irish County Councils ought
to have control Of the police, but you must
note that he does not. OF course, mean the
constabulary, since he has always resolutely
declined to give the control of this force to
the Irish Parliament.
"The real meaning of his words simply
comes TO this: He would permit the Irish
County Councils to raise police force of
their own which would exist side by side
with the corStabulatory, the latter being
still under imperial control. This was
practically the proposal in the bill in 1886,
was regarded then as altogether insult
hclent and unsatisfactory, and is not on a
level with the further progress made at
Boulogne.''
Mr.. Parnell concluded by saving that he
thought Gladstone's speech would be a great
disappointment 10 the seceders. These are
ParnelIs last words about the great cause
for which he fought.
PROSPECTS POOR FOR REUNION.
To-day the prospect of an Irish reunion
over tie grave OF Parnell is less encourag-
ing. The news from Parnellite associations.
