funeral of Mr.. Parnell. The corporation Of
Dublin has been summoned to meeting to-
morrow, at which sympathy with Mrs.
Parnell will be expressed and where call
will be issued for a public furneral.
The general feeling in the leading politi-
cal clubs in both Great Britain and Ireland
is that the death of Mr.. Parnell will heal
the breach which has so long existed in the
ranks Of the Irish parliamentary party.
EXCITEMENT IN THE CITY.
There was a tremendous excitement in
this city when the report of Parnell's death
spread among the masses. One of the re-
suits was a great rush for the various news
paper offices in endeavors to get confrma-
ton of tho startling information. The
offices Of the national league were fairly be-
sieged with an excited concourse of warm-
hearted lrishmen, who had forgotten
all about the divor troubles Of Mr.. Par
nell in their desire to express sympathy
with the great leader of the Irish people,
who had fought SO many battles for them
III behalf of home rnle Many tear stained
faces were seen among the crowds as the
good qualities of the dead man were re.
ferred to, and when his efforts il tIe cause
OF Irish independence were mentioned.
PLANS OF THE PARNELLITES.
Prominent Parnellitss who have bseu in-
demise declare that it will not affect their
position and thai they intend to continue
in independent opposition to the party
which has fought against their leader. The
Il st news cf the death of Mr. Parnell
which was received in this city
was through Mr.. Parnelps brother .in~law,
McDermott, to whom Mrs. Parnell tele-
Graphed the sad news. So soon as informa-
ton reached the National Club the blinds
were closed and the flag was half mast ed,
and will so remain until after the iuterment
of the remain. The members Of the
national league now in this city are making
the arrangements necessary to attend the
funeral of Mr.. Parnell.
FAILING FOR MONTHS.
Now that Mr.. Parnell is dead, it is said
that 1t was matter Of notoriety among his
intimate friends that his health had been
rapidly declining for months past His
friends and doctors, they say, urged him in
vain TO be more careful but all their re-
monstrauces we're unavaiing. Mr.. Parnell
continued to work at the highest
pressure and underwent constant privations
and fatiguing journeys y hich would havo
ruined the health Of the strongest man
After the Sligo election, it was privately
admitted that Mr. Parnell was greatly de-
pressed and that he felt himself obliged TO
resort to stimuants in order to sustain his
nerves.
PAIN NEAR THE HEART.
At Creegs, on Sept q, last, Mr.. Parnell
complained of suffering from a peculiar
pain in the region Of the heart, which pain,
he said, had never troubled him before.
This was in addition TO rheumatic trouble
in the arm.
The Mail to-day, commenting on Mr..
Parnell'S death, says that of the many enc
mics Mr.. Parnell had in Ireland, even ths
most bitter will be shocked at the sudden
ness OF his death. "For months past," the
Mail adds, me has looked as if he was
breaking down under the stress of battle
too severe even for strong man. Though
his cause was hopeless he was still thorn
in hs side of Mr.. Gladstone, ana might still
have Influenced the elections. Now the
battle for home rule must be fought on
its own merits. All the same, every gener-
GUS heart will lament the tragic end OF the
Irish Rienzi."

DUBLIN, Oct. s, 3 A. MI he Freendn's
Journal says: "One If the m 1st remarka-
bic careers of modern times has been brought
to an early ana sudden close At such a mo-
ment it i'll BELTS the Irish nation to set
aside or discard the memory OF the bright
days when lrishmen regarded Mr.. Parnell
with confidence because of his integrity,
honor and devotion. We claim thas q great
effort should now be made TO close with his
death the sad history of the last few weary
months of fratricidal strife. Ne appeal to
the people throughout the country to
be moderate and calm, and SO advance
toward ational unity, without which, we
honestly believe, it is impossible to predict
final triumph of the Irish eau en-

WHERE SHE LAYS HIS DEATH.
Then the old lady paced up and down the
room, sobbing convnlsively "It'i Michael
Davitt and the Irish Worlds persecution
and politicians that have killed him" she
cried. His death has been caused by the
perceptions Of his enemies"
For some time Mrs. Parnell has bsen max
ing an effort to get over to Ireland to see
her SOD. But for three years she has been
kept at home by suits in the courts Of Phila>
delphia. The proceedings had le:t her en-
tirely without funds. Mrs. Parnell said she
did not know what she was going to do
about his funeral. "Al | ask is to
be permitted TO see his body
laid away in the grave, aud l hope they
will embalm and keep the body until I can
be present at the service" Although Mrs.
Parnell claims that she is not in want,
and is 10 no need Of assistance, she is living
here in abject poverty.
