His Followers Will Carry on the Policy Of
Their Former Leader


LONDON, October l2.-Considerable indigna-
ton has been aroused in Dublin by the report
that Chaplain Vincent of the Rotunda Chapel.
who ofhciated yesterday at the burial of Mr..
Parnell, received a threatening letter warning
him not to read the services of the
church over the deserted leader. The reverend
gentleman paid no attention to the threat. but
went about his duty as calmly rs in any case
HIS associate in the religious ceremony the
Rev q. A. Fry, is the rector of All Souls at
Manchester, England, am lrishman by birth
ana one OF the lew Protestant clergymen who
have heartily sympathized with the homs
rule movement. Mr.. Fry is a member of
the Parnellte club at Manchester. and said only
a few days ago that he would rather see Ireland
under Balfour than under the seceders from
Parnell for the reason that the latter would
mean an Ireland ruled by the Roman hierarchy.
Mr.. Fry Is said to have shed tears at Parnelrs
grave aftor reading the funeral service.
The feeling IN Ireland over yesterdays DEM
onstration is intense, and Parnell was never
so popular In his lifetime he appears to De
when dead. Parnelrs friends are indignant at
the statements made by John Dillon and Others
that Parneu refused TO release the
Paris fund of G40,0O0 for the bepefit
Of evicted tenants. Parnelrs friends claim
that he was perfectly willing to
release the fund provided that his claims for
money advanced to eyicted tenants should be
by John Dillon and others. Mr.. Dillon, it 10
asserted, Ii perfectly willing TO push his own
claims allowed out Of the fund. but not willing
that Mr.. Parnelrs claims should be recognized.
The fund, according to Mr.. Parnelrs latest
statement, amounted to about f35 600.
Against this there are a number of claims,
bringing the total available amount down y
about go, 900.

encouraging information from various parts of
Ireland and the present determination of the
people is Overwhelmingly in favor Of maintain
