The morning call., 1891-10-12

tine was checked and thrown into disarray.
1t was decided to close the lower gates, and
this as effected amid great disorder just as
the hearse reached the spot.
AROUND THE GRAVE.
The hearse WAS then taken to platform
especially constructed for the purpose, in
order to enable those In the procession to
f,e around and have a full view of the bier.
At 6 o'clock the fast-falling dusk found the
procession still filing past. There seemed
to be no likelihood that the stream of march
ers would end till far into the night So
orders were given to remove the coffin to the
side of the grave. The body OF Gamma
GaePs succeeded in clearing a way to the
grave, and formed a circle, within which
were grouped the Lord Mayor of Dublin,
civic dignitaries, ParnelPs colleagues in
Parliament and relatives. The crush was
terrible. Darkness had set in, and the
noise of SlIreking women, cries of children
and cries of men. struggling amid the crush,
made lnaudlble the voices of the clergy re-
citing the ritual of the Church of England.
SERVICES INTERRUPTED.
The first portion of the service had been
celebrated at ST. \ chOlaS Church, where
the remains rested twenty minutes while on
the way from the City Hall. At tn grave
Rev MIR. VINCENT of Rotunda Chapel and
Rev. George Fry of Manchester oificiated.
They were obliged to cut the services short,
as the crowd broke into the protecting circle
and overwhelmed the inner group.
Some time after in dead darkness, when
the crowd had thmned away, the more in
innate friends again grouped themselves
around the grave, deposited wreaths thereon
and took 4 last view of the coffin. The
grave became heaped up with masses of
floral tributes, one of which was Miss
OShea's. Overlooked in the description
given above Apart from the disorder at
the cemetery, the day was without accident.
Probably never anywhere was SO great a
popular demonstration attended by so little
excitement. Most OF the public-houses re-
mained closed throughout the day out of
respect to the dead. The police, unfailingly
obtrusive in Irish public gatherings, were
to-day conspicuously absent Tonight
Sunday quetness prevails.
PRESS COMMENTS.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-Various estimates have
been made as to the number Of persons who
witnessed the demonstration. The Daily
News this morning placed it at 100000.
Hourly dispatches were sent to Mrs Par
nell at Brighton describing the scenes at
Dublin. She is still prostrated.
The Chronicle says the demonstration
was Spontaneous and irresistible, surging
from all parts of Ireland to Glasneviu.
The mighty wave would have swept away
any barrier the police or politicians could
have put up to stop it."
The Times this morning, referring to Par
nell's funeral, attributes the magnitude
and impressiveness of the scene to the fact
that the Irish masses are passiOnately fond
of pageantry in every shape. and especially
when it combines political excitement with
an appeal to sentiment"

issued lengthy manifesto detailing what
the league has done for the cause of Ireland,
