LONDON, Oct. 1O.-To-morrow Is looked
forward to with fear and trembling among
the more peaceabie residents of Dublin.
Never in the present century since the ill
fated effort Sof Emmett and his associates
to stir up revolution has there been such
feeling of unrest and apprehension in the
chief city of Ireland. The promise of the
authorities that they are able to maintain
the peace has but little reassur-
ing influence on those who know how
Parnell was worshiped in Dub
lin, and the strength of the hatred
against the men who are regarded rs his
murderers. If the Healyites attempt to
take part in Sundays demonstration q
riot and, perhaps. bloodshed is certain.
Even if they do not it is unlikely that the
multitude of mourners will be satisfied
short of some violent protest from the lead
ing Parnellites but it is said that they are
as anxious as any to prevent violence from
obtaining sway. Mr.. Redmond has sent a
message to Dublin, earnestly beseeching
the people to prove their respect and love
for the dead by making their demonstra-
tiOn as peaceable as it will be imposing,
and to give their enemies no opportunity
to say that the friends of Parnell were the
foes of order. These admoniticns, however,
fall OH many ears that seem deaf to all but
the gospel of revenge. Already the dele
cations are thronging into Dublin from all
parts OF Ireland. and it is feared that even
tonight may not pass without the anger of
the Parnellites finding expression in that
city. An extra fOrce or police have been
on duty during the day. and all the men
not required on the streets are ordered to
be kready in barracks lto-night to answer
any call that may be made for their service.
