THE NEWS IN IRELAND.

Great Excitement at Dublin and Deep SYM
pathy Expressed by Both Factions.
DUBLIN, Oct. There was tremendous eX-
element in this city when the report OF Mr. Par
nelrs death spread among the masses. One OF
the results was q great rush for the various
newspaper offices In an endeavOr to get con-
firmation Of the startling information. The Of
fees of the National League were fairly beseiged
with an excited coHcOurse of warm-hearted
Irishmen. who had forgotten all about the d.
yorce troubles of Mr. Psrnell in their desire to
express sympathy with the great leader OF the
Irish people who had fought so many battles for
them in behalf of home rule. Many q tear
stained face was seen among the crowds as the
good qualities OF the dead man were referred TO
aud when his efforts in the cause OF Irish fnde-
pepdencs were mentioned. Prominent Parnell-
ties who have been interviewed on the subject
OF Mr.. Parnells demise declare IL Will not affect
their position and that they intend to continue
In independent opposition to the party which
has fought against their leader.
The first news OF the death OF the Irish parlia-
mentary champion which was received In this
city was through Mr.. Parnelrs brother-in-law,
Mr. McDermott, TO whom Mrs. Parnell tele-
graphed the sad news. AS soon as the informa-
ton reached the National Club, the blinds. as
well az the windows Of that institution, were im-
medistely drawn down, and will so remain until
after the interment OF the remains OF the dead

The Mail to-day, commenting on Mr.. Parnelps
death, says that of the many enemies Mr.. Par

shocked at the suddenness of his death. "FoI

At Cork, the announcement OF the death OF Mr.

dispatches were received which left no doubt o.
the truth of the story groups OF people gathered
I'm the streets and discussed the sad event, many
showing poignant grief. The feeling was shared
by the political opponents of Mr.. Parnell. His
parliamentary connection with Cork during TIT
greater part OF his career was so entirely in har
mony with the people that even those who were
latterly bitterly opposed to him express great
regret at the sudden and tragic close OF his brill
liant career. Current opinion among the Nc
Carthyites at Cork agrees that his death ends al
sectional feud among lrishmen, and the cOnsen
