LONDON, Oct. 9.-Today the prospect
of an Irish reunion over the grave Of
Parnell is less encouraging. The news
from Parnellite associations, both in
Great Britain and Ireland, confirms the
anticipation that an attempt will be
made to keep up the organization, with
the same motives and aims as hereto
fore. Much depends on a meeting of
the Parnellite members Of parliament,
which will take place soon after the
burial Of Parnell If they should re-
solve to give up the contest, it is thought
that the various leagues would follow
suit.
The chances for harmony have not
been increased by the bitter language of
the Dublin Catholic, the organ of the
bishops, aud by the scarcely disguised
hatred in the comments of the anti
hill |uuiih 1883. lJNGii IL Jtit
nellites should dissolve as a party it is
believed that many of them will either
vote with the Tories or abstain from
voting altogether. Their dissolution,
however, is at present doubtful, and
one of the leading Parhellites said that
they would probably wait for tho other
side To act.
Obstacles to Reunion.
Undoubtedly one Of the main obsta-
cles to reunion is the bitterness that
has characterized the opposition to Mr..
Pafnell, as voiced more especially by
Mr.. Timothy Healy. In the face Of
death the Parncllites feel less than ever
like forgetting the cruel attacks upon
Parnell 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 committed sui
eide, TO refnte which the family felt
compelled to reveal the scene of the
deathbed, with all its saddening circun-
stances.
The physicians who were In attend
ance on Mr.. Parnell during his illness
have filed a certificate In which it is
stated that rheumatic fever, resulting in
excessive temperature and heart failure,
was the cause of death.
The family have decided to make the
funeral a public one, The body will be
inferred at Avondale, County Wicklow,
Ireland, where he was born.
London Press Comment.
The death of Parnell is the absorbing
topic oil the press. The Daily News de-
votes twelve columns to the subject, and
other papers nearly as much, with the
exception Of The Times, which has
somewhat bitter leader. All agree in
tti1O tIIa immediate Y1nof mud ,,lpa
ing him in his right position IN history.
The st. James Gazette says Parnell
died i'll steel harness. Englishmen had
no reason to love this dark intriguer,
this INSCRIPTIONS foe; but even those
who were menanced admired his daunt-
less energy. He fought until the end.
He possessed violent spirit bordering
on insanity.
The Globe maintains that the opinion
that Parneilism is dead with Parnell is
surely Il hasty and premature Judgment,
nnwarranted by the antecedents. 1t de-
clares ParnelliSm is not dead; the gos-
pei of revolt against authority must
continue, whoever the new Parnell
may be.
Parneu Left No WIN.
No difficulty is expected by the Irish
party i'll obtaining early control of the
Paris funds They say that no matter
what testamentafy disposition of the
money has been made, the power of Mr..
Mccarthy in the matter will not be af-
fected.
AS far as is known, Mr.. Parnell did
not leave a will or political declaration.
lie did not appreciate the gravity of his
illness, nor did he have any conscious
ness of the approach Of death.
Messrs. o, Brien and Dillon both de-
cline to express views FOR publication in
connection with the death of Mr.. Parnell.
