PARNELL DEAD.
He Sleeps the Sleep of Death--Par.
nell, lreland's Greatest Leader,
Gone.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Parnell died a
Brighton, England, Tuesday night, afte
less than a weeks illness. Mrs. Parnell
Mr.. Parnell's step-daughter and he
aunts, according to the latest accounts
OF Parnell, were the only occupants o
the house on Walsingham Terrace wher
the Irish leader expired. These lattel
reports state it was one of intense agon,
for the sick man until the moment wher
he became unconscious and eventually
died without pain. The Right Hon
Joseph Chamberlain, when interviewed
regarding Parnell's death, said it might
influence the government to GO to the
country on the present legislation, but
he added it was more likely the govern
ment would endeavor to pass the IRISH
government bill, with a fair prospect
that it could be done if the opposition
would adopt the same attitude towards
this bill as they had done towards the
English local election measure, but it
would be, he thought, late in 1892 before
the measure could become a law.
In an interview today Justin McCar-
thy, a member of parliament for Lon
~donderry and leader of the anti Parnell
faction Of the Irish parliamentary party,
discussing the political effect of Par
nells death said it was impossible to
forecast the political effect of the death
of Parnell.
Mccarthy added, however, he hoped it
would lead to a complete reunion of all
shades of opinion among Irishmen in
general and IN the Irish parliamentary
party in particular. Certainly, he
said, it will not hinder the progress of
autonomy or in other words of the
movement for the self. government of
Ireland.
Continuing Mccarthy said he believed
all feeling of hostility to Parnell or of
hostility between individual members of
the Irish parliamentary party would be
swallowed up and completely disappear
in the feeling of genuine and universal
regret which was experienced among
lrishmen at the death of Parnell. "Three
weeks ago." said Mccarthy, 1--WE Parnell
and myself had a long and friendly con-
ference. This conference took place at
my house at Chelsea and we mutually
agreed to draw a part of the Paris fund
from the bankers in the French capital
in order to defray the expenses of regis
which were incurred before the
split in the party. Before the divorce
proceedings" said Mccarthy in conclu-
sion, II was a close friend of Parnell
whom l admired intensely. Parnell
consulted me in regard to hat lamenta- !
BILE manifesto and l used all efforts in |
e~ndeavoring to prevent him from issuing
it to the public, My idea in trying to
prevent him from so doing was that the
of the manifesto would make
MS further leadership of the Irish party
utter impossibility.'
The above is about the substance of !
what Mccarthy said, but it was evident
hat he and the members of his party
we're evidently affected at Parnell's
Heath and that all feeling of animosity
70 the great Irish leader had sunk be-
heath a flood of sorrow caused by his
sudden and untimely death.
BRIGHTON, Oct. 7.-(Midnight) Later
No arrangements have yet been made
or the funeral. The district coroner !

lell.
