Mrs. parnell is stli prostroted with grief.
and though weaA and exhausted IRON long

she positively refuses 10 partake of any food

Drs Joseph f. Kenney. member of Parlia-
ment for South Cork ana the tr asurer OF the
National League IN an interview pa llshed
to-day. say that a month ago he WIS sud
denly summoned TO attend Mir. iarnel, who
appeared to be suffering from deoilty. Dr.
kenuey upon that occasion advised Mr.. ar
nell to place some restla mt upon his appear
ances in public particularly when su ap-
pearances necessitated taking part IN poltl-
cal debates or making campaign speeches.
Mr.. Parnell however, did not take r. Ken
news advice. but continued & ush the hght
with all possible vigor and undy NJ earnest
ness.
Mr. John Dillon member of Parliament for
East Mayo. and William . llren member ot
Parliament for East Cork. who were botu IN
Ireland were seen yesterday and asked Tor an
exl ression of views publication IN regard
10 the death of Blr. Parnel Both the gentle
men referred TO distinctly refused TO say any,
thing upon the subject.
THE CHANCES FOR HARMONY.
The prospect of an Irish reunion over the
grave of larnell Is less encouraging. The
news from Parnelite associations both IN
Ci eat Britain and Ireland confirms the an
ticipaton that an ATTEMPT will be made TO
keep up the orgaLiZat on with the same mo-
tives aud aims as heretofore Much depends
on meeting of arnelhte members OF Par
Lament VIII, VIII take place soon after tie
buria. OF Parnell. If they sh uld re olive to
| give up the contest 1t Is thought that the va
| rious leagues would follow SUIT.
The chances tor harmony have not been
| increased by the bit er la guage OF the Du0lln
| Catholic newspaper, TIE organ OF the
! bishops, and by the scarcely disguised hatred
in the comments of the antl-Parnellite Dublin
| press Even II the farnellites should dis
solve as party it IS believed that many OF
| them will either vote with the Tories or ab-
stain from voting altogether. Their dis olu-
tion. however, is at present doubtful and one
! OF the leading Parnellites said last night that
they would probably wait Tor the other side
| 10 act.
Undoubtedly one of the main obstacles 10
| reunion is the bitterness that characterized
the opposition to Mr.. Parnell, as voiced more
specially by Timothy Eeay. In the face OF
death the parnellites feel less than ever like
| forgetting the cruel attacks upon iarnell and
the woman who shared his later fortunes To
| Healy and one of his associates is attributed
the origin of the rumor that Parnell had COM
mitted suicide 70 refute which the family felt
compelled TO reveal the scene OF the death
bed with all its saddening circumstances.
The delegation from the members OF Parlia-
ment who followed the lead OF Parneh to the
last arrived at Brighton this afternoon. After
receiving the doctors certificate giving deh-
nitely the cause of Mr.. Parnels death they
adopted resolution expressing the deepest
sorrow az the sudden and unexpected death
of their chief and heartfelt sympathy with
| Mrs. Parnen.
The eldest daughter Of Mrs. Parnell was
present at the meeting of the Parnelhte dele
gates and conveyed messages betwee' the
delegation and her mother.
PARNEIL's LAST POLITICAL UTTERANcRs.
A dispatch from Brighton says: On Satur-
day morning Parnel was not able 10 rise, but
Mrs Parnell read Mr. Gladstone's speech TO
him in bed He dictated statement Tor
United Ireland, the only Irish paper which
has stood by him personally since the rree-
mans Journal changed colors. Though
United Ireland had gone to press the day be-
fore il published special on Saturday even
ing containing Mr.. Parnelis message.
This was Parnells last political utter
ance. 10 is Of peculiar interest. In IT
he expresses himself as disappointed
with GladstOne's promises for home rule. IL
was sandwiched in between less important
British measures 10 delude the laborers with.
1T is" said Parnell. when we turn 10 TINS
treatment of Ireland that we are most disap-
pointed. For some time past the seceders
have been whispering about great declara-
ton they expected from Gladstone as 70 the
character of his Home Rule bill, de-
clarations which were 10 oyerwhelm
all Parnellites with confusion, but on
turning 10 this portion OF ms speecn
we find little or nothing about home rule
and even that characterized by greater yaga-
res than ever. He tells Us. indeed. that
Irish county councils on lat % have control OF
the police but You must note that ne does
| not of course mean the con -tabulary. since
he has always resOuteiy declined 70 give the
control of this force 70 the lrish Iarhameut
the utmost that could he expected IRON mn
al RouOgue being that the cOnstaDularJ
might be gradually disbanded and that ther
the Irish Parliament might have police
| force of its own. The real meaning OF ms
words simply comes 20 this He would per
nit the Irish county councils 20 RAISE ponce
force of their own. which woula act slue oD
side with the constabulary, the latter oeinE
still under imperial control. This was prac j
cally the proposa in the bill OF 1886. was r.
garied then As atoget er insufficient and un
satisfactory and is not on a level with h'
further progress made at bou ogne.'
Mr. Parnel concluded by saying that h'
thought Gladst1nes speech would be grea
disannointment 70 the seceders. These ar
Parnelrs last words a out the great cause 70
which ho has fought and il which he has los
his life.
