INDIGNANT AT A WARNING LETTER.

Comments-Thomas II. O'Connor on
the Future OF Irish Politics.
by Cable TO The Times ]

LONDON. Oct. l2.-Considerable indigna-
ton has been aroused in Dublin by the report
that Chaplain Vincent. of the Rotunda
Chapel. who officiatei yesterday at the
burial of Mr.. Parnel received a threatening
letter warning him not to read the services
Of the church over the deceased leader.
The reverend gentleman paid no at
tention to the threat but went about
his duty as calmly as in any case His as
sociate in the religious ceremony. the
Rev. q. A. Fry is the rector of All Souls at
Manchester. Eng. an Irishman by birth. and
one of the few Protestant clergymen who
have heartily sympathized with the home
rule movement. Mr.. Fry Is member of the
Parnelllte Club at Manchester, and said only
few days ago that he would rather see Ire
land under Balfour tn Il under the seceders
tr N Parnell for the reason that the latter
would mean an Ireland ruled by the Roman
hierarchy. Mr.. try Is said to have shed tears
at ParnelPs grave after reading the funeral
service.
THE FEELING INTENSE.
The feeling in Ireland over yesterdays
demonstration is intense. and Parnell was
never 50 popular in his lifetime as he ap-
pears to be when dead. Farnells friends are
indignant At the statements made by John
Dillon and others that parnell refused to re-
lease the Paris fund Of f40, 900 for the bene-
1T of eyicted tenants. PsrnelPs friends
claim that he was perfectly willing TO release
the fund provided that his claims for money
advanced to evicted tenants should be
allowed on the same basis as money advanced
by John Dillon and others. Mr.. Dillon, it is
asserted, is perfectly wiling to push his own
claims allowed out IF the fund. but not will
lng that Mr.. ParnelPs claims should be recog-
nized. The fund. according to Mr.. Parnells
latest statement. amounted TO about E3a 900.
Against this there are number of claims.
bringing the total available amount down 10
about 100000.
Mrs. Parnel is still very weak. but the ply
siclan in attendance succeeded in prevailing
upon her to take some slight nourishment to-
day. Her heart is very weak and she was
not strong enough yesterday TO read the tele-
grams OF coincidence sent to her.
PRESS COMMITS.
DUBLIN, Oct. 12.-The Parnellite press this
morning continues 10 warmly euloglZe the
pc sonality and public services of the dead
statesman. The articles are generally ex-
tremely feryid in their expressions of admira-
tion OF the man, considered as such. while
adlectlyes are exhausted in the attempt 10
convey an understanding Of the gratitude of
his followers for his lnestmable services to
his country. In some instances bitter refer
ences are made to the men who drove be-
meath the soil OF Ireland the man who alone
could make that soil free"
1t is reported that since the interment of
the remains of Parnel meeting of his ad-
herents has been held. at which it was de-
clded 70 continue the struggle On the lines
marked out by the late leader
LoNDoS. Oct 12.-The Times this morning,
referring to Parnells funeral. attributes the |
magnitude and impresslyeness of the scene to
the fact that the Irish masses are passionatey |
fond or pageantry in any shape and espe-
cially when 1t combines political excitement |
with al appeal to sentiment.
o'coNSoR ON IRISH POLITICS.
Mr.. T.. p. OConnor, member of Parliament
for the Scotland division Of Liverpool, in an
to-day regarding the situation of
Irish parliamentary affairs, said The
strongest desire of the majority is not to
stand between the nation and tho restora-
ton of unity. With this object in view
many meetings, including the important con-
yentlon which was TO have been held in Cork
have been postponed. We desire 10 show our
profound respect and grief in the most en-
phatic manner. Among the political op-
ponents of Mr.. Parnell we're men whose af-
fection for him personally WAS as deep and
warm as that of those who felt it to be their
duty to stand by him."
Concerning the chances of reunion of the
Irish parties, Mr.. O'Connor said:
This is not the Lest time to discuss this
question: III was anticipated from the frst
that the vehemence Of their grief over their
ost leader would lead Mr.. Parnels support
srs into state of temper in which reason is
blinded by affection. They see in the politi-
,al opposition TO Mr.. Parnell jealousy and
private hatred.
NO DIFFERENCE.
"All that has happened has tended TO real
ze this view of the case, but | believe that
his stage of unreason will pass away, while
orrow for the loss # Parnell will remain.
The decency and order which prevailed ut
he vast funeral of yesterday in spite Of the
erribe appeals made to disorder and passion.
Ire welcome sign that the Irish people will
je ready in due time to consider the political
ituation calmly and TO again be united in
inal struggle for their Liberties
There IS no difference in political princi-
lie. Both factions are convinced that tho
rish party should be absolutely independent
# all Engllsh parties and statesmen and that
10 such Nationalist can accept place or pay
rom an English ministry Both factions de-
ire to get for reland full and practicable
MEASURE of self-gOvernment and will accept
10 other The so-caled McCarthyites held
xaetly the same views politically as the Par
ellites"
