LONDON, Oct. 10.-An enormous con-
course of people surrounded Walsing-
ham Terrace this morning when the
casket containing the remains of the
late Charles Stewart Parnell was taken
from the house. The route of the
funeral procession to the railroad sta
ton was lined with masses of people
who silently and respectfully watched
its passage. Mrs. Parnell was utterly
unable to accompany the remains to
Dublin. She is too i'll to undertake the
journey. There was terrible scene in
the house when the. casket was about to
be removed. The grief of Mrs. Parneil
was most poignant, and she could with
difficulty be persuaded to allow the
coffin to be taken away.
RESPECT TO THE DEAD.
AS mark of respect to the dead, the
blinds of many houses along the route
of the funeral procession were drawn
down. On every side were signs of sin
cere sympathy. AS the hearse passed
them, despite the down-pouring rain,
the spectators took off their hats and
stood uncovered until the last carriage
had gone by. A dozen carriages followed
the hearse. They contained Mrs. Dick
inson (Parnell's sister,, Henry Parnell
and John Redmond and number OF
other members of parliament. A depu-
tation from the Dublin corporation lead
ership committee wss also in carriages.
At the railroad station at Brighton, the
funeral party waited an hour, the build
ing being packed with people, anxious
to get glimpse OF the casket.
VIEWING THE CAsKET.
When the train containing the body
of Parnell arrived at Willesden great
crowd rushed toward the carriage. The
coffin was temporarily uncovered and
the people passed in single file through
the carriage. Many persons in line were
observed to be moved to tears. Dele
gates from the several branches of the
London league placed wreaths upon the
bier.
MRS. PARNELL's WREATH.
Mrs. Parnell's wreath was visibl at
the head of the casket. It bore in let
ters, beautifully and artistically formed
of flowers, the words:
"To My Own True Love, My Husband,
My King"
FUNERAL PREPARATIONS COMPLETE.
DUBLIN, Oct. 10.-Parnell's funeral
ceremonies promise to be one of the
most imposing ever held in Ireland.
Special trains from all parts of the
country will bring thousands Of mourn
ers tn Duhlin tomorrow
The funeral preparations at the city
hall are completed. Chaplain Vincent,
of the Rotunda hospital, has been Sc
lected as the officiating clergyman at
the grave. The arrangements are Sc
curity that the entire proceedings will
be executed with dignity, and that
nothing can occur to mar the solemnlty
of the occasion. The police have taken
all the measures necessary for preserv-
ing public peace.
M'CARTHYITES WILL STAY AWAY.
The Freeman's Journal says the start
ling insults to which John Dillon has
been subjected, show the deep under
current OF angry feeling which has been
provoked by United Ireland. The Nc
Carthyites had every desire to pay last
tribute to Parnell, but it is now per-
fectly plain they could not do go without
rendering a probable insult to the sa-
cred presence of the dead by causing an
exhibition of intolerable anger upon the
part of the infatuated section of his fol-
lowers. Nothing but desire to preserve
public peace and determination to
guard Ireland from reproach influenced
their decision to be absent.
TIIr pFTEAsT CONTINGENT

tingent will occupy prominent place
