IRELAND'S DEAD RIENZI.
TIE ENTIRE UNITED KINGDOM
STIRRED UP BY THE DEATH.

| LONDON, Oct. S.-Every person In Eng
| land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to-day,
| who has any connection with or interest in
politics, is discussing three great political
questions These are the death OF Charles
Stewart Parnel, the demise OF the con-
sentative leader in the House OF Commons,
Rt. Hon. William Henry Smith, and the
great test of strength, now fairly COM
menced, at Manchester between the liberal
and conservative parties IN the election of
member of parliament for Northeast Man
chester. A vacancy was made in the
home of liberalism by the appointment of
the present member. Rt. Hon. Sir James
In this battle, which was decided to-day,
Sir James Ferguson, conservative,
successfully contested for reelection
against c. p. scott, editor of the Man
chester GuGrdian, al extremely powerful
candidate The most important, no ever,
of these three abs )rbing political questions
is the sudden death at Walsingham ter
race, Brighton, on Tuesday night, of the
great Irish leader, Chorles Stewart PRrnel
The newspapers OF the British isles are full
Of the story of his death aud of personal
"reminiscences OF the Irish Rienzi," as the
Dublin Mail teims him, aud contain many
interviews in regard to the future possiUili-
ties Of the Irish party. Even the conti-
Mental newspapers, slow to understand or
take hold Of any subject of particular
domestic interest in Great Britain, pay
considerable attention TO the death of the
Irish leader.
WARNED A MONTH AGO.
DIR. Joseph L. Kinney, member Of parlia>
ment for South Cork and treasurer of the
national league, in an interview published
to-day. says that month ago he was sud
denly summoned to attend Mr.. Parnel,
who appeared to be suffering from debility.
! DR.. Kinney upon that occasion advised Mr..
| Parnell to place some restraint upon his
appearances in public, particularly when
such appearances necessltated taking part
| in political debates or making campaign
| speeches. Mr.. Parnell, however, did not
take DIR. Kinney's advice, but continued TO
push the fight with all possible vigor and
untiring earnestness.
Mrs Parnell is still Frustrated with grief
| ard though weak and exhausted from long
watching and the terrible shock exper-
| fenced, she positively refuses to partake of
any refreshment and will see Only her
daughter. The alterations being made at
quarry house at Blecthingly, Surrey, where
Mr.. aud Mrs. Parnell intended TO take up
their residence about the end of the present
month, have been stopped. It has been de-
cided to hold post-mortem examination Of
the body of Mr.. Parnell with a view Of
settling definitely the cause Of his death.
REFUsALs TO COMMENT.
John Dillon member of parliament for
East Mayo, and William O'Brien, member
of parliamen for East Cork, who are both
in Ireland. we're seen yesterday and asked
for an expression of their views for publica-
ton in regard to the death Of Mr.. ParnelL
Both gentlemen referred to distinctly re-
fused to say anything upon the subject.
A dispatch from Brighton says the doc
tors certificate states that Mr. Parnell's
death was caused by rheumatic fever, re-
sulting in excessive mperature and failure
OF the heart. 1t was decided at the family
council held this afternoon that Mr.. Par
nell's remains shall be accorded a pablo
funeral. and the body will be inferred at
Avondale, county Wicklow, Ireland where
the dead leader was born.
Els FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS.
A delegation from the members of parlia-
ment w.o followed the lead OF Mr.. Parnell
to the last arrived at Brighton this after
noon. Alter receiving the doctors certifi-
cate giving the final cause Of Mr.. Parnell's
death, they adopted resolution expressing
the deepest sorrow at the sudden and
unexpected death Of their chief, and heart
felt sympathy with Mrs. Parnell. The
eldest daughter of Mrs. Parnell was present
at the meeting of the Parnellite delegates
and conveyed the messages between the
delegation and her mother.
Timothy Healy. member of parliament
for North Longford, and probably MIR.
Psrnells most bitter opponent, was asked
to-day for an expression Of opinion upon the
political situation. He declined to say any,
thing regarding politics, remarking: LAS
Mr. Harrington has declined to make a
statement concerning the intention of his
party, we for our part are determined to
maintain a truce for the present"
DUBLIN's REGRET.
DUBLIN, Oct Sat meeting to-day of
the corporation of the city of Dublin reso>
iutions of regret at the death of Mr.. Par
nell we're passed, and the lord mayor and
the members of the corporation were em-
powered to attend the funeral in their robes
Of state.
AT meeting OF the members of the Par
nellite party of West Clare a resolution
calling for John Redmond to assume the
leadership of the party was passed. Reso-
buttons of deep regret at the death of Mr..
| Parnell were also unanimously adopted.
Most OF the stores throughout the leading
towns OF Ireland are closed to-day out OF
respect for the memory of the dead leader.
Timothy Harrington and other prominent
members of the Parnellite party, in reply
to numerous solicitations for interviews on
| Mr.. Parneli's death, refuse to discuss the
political SITUATION at present, claiming that
they do not consider it proper or respectful
to the memory of their dead chief to talk
about politics until, at least, after his
| funeral.
| THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
| LONDON, Oct. 8, II P. Mt has now
been decided that the funeral ceremonies of
Mr. Parnell will he held at the cemetery at
Glasheven, village about three and half
miles north of Dublin, on Sum
day next. The body will arrive
in Dublin on Sunday morning
and will be taken in state to the city hall
and from there the funeral will proceed.
Extensive preparations have already been
commenced in view OF the monster demon
stration, which is sure to follow. Messrs.
Redmond and Mahoney are in charge OF
the details of the funeral. The
body will be placed in a leaden
coffin. The medical authorities have de.
cided to forego the proposed post mortem
examination. DR.. Covers and two other
physicians carefully examined the body
before it was deposited in the coffin. and
they agreed that there was no necessity
for an examination. The remains have
undergone a rapid change, SO rapid indeed
that it mas been found advisable to close the
shell. There will be no religious ceremony
here. The body will be conveyed TO Lou
don on Saturday, arriving there in time to
catch the Irish night mail train.
