| LONDON, Oct 7.-Charles Stewart Par
nell died to-day. Mrs. Parnell, Mr.. Par
nell's tep-daughter and the servants, &C
cording to the latest accounts, were the
only occupants of the house when the
Irish leader expired. The end, these Later

for the sick man until he became uncon
scious and eventually died without pain
The whole of Great Britain and ireland
has been shocked by the news.
Mr. Parnell, it is now stated, suffered

| acute rheumatism. He became un.

near. He finally passed away before his wife

nobly till the last, and then, when all was

Joseph Chamberlain, member of parlia-

| might influence the government to go to
the country on the present legislation,
| but, he added, it was more likely the gov

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. 1t would be, he thought,
late in 1892 before the measure could be-
| come law.
BoRDENTowN, N. j.. Oct. 7.-When Mrs
Della T. S. PANEL was informed of the
death of her son, Charles Stewart Parnell,
she fell from her chair to the floor, shrek
ing and grooming. ooh my son, my
Charles, they have killed you," she moaned.
She became hysterical, and it was some
time before she was sufficiently composed
to receive the particulars of her sons
death. She is seventy-six years old and
quite feeble. She declared that Charles
had offered to aid her, but she had assured
him she was comfortable. She excitedly
declared that her son had been killed by
the persecution of Davitt, the Irish World
and the politicians. She mourned because
these "vipers" had prevented her from
being with her son in his last years.
WHAT JUSTIN MCCARTHY SAYS.
In an interview to-day Mr.. Justin Nc
earthly, discussing political effect of Mr..
Parnells death said that it was impossible
to forecast the political effect of the death
of Mr.. Parnell. He added that he hoped
it would lead to complete reunion of all
shades of opinion among Irishmen in gen
eral and the Irish parliamentary party in
particular. He thinks it will not hinder
the progress of the movement for the self
government of Ireland. He believed that
all feeling of hostility to Parnell would
Completely disappear in the feeling of gen
eral and universal regret which is expert
enced among Irishmen at his death.
"Three weeks ago." said he, eve (Mr. Par

conference at my house at Chelsea and

possibility. The above is the substance OF
what Mccarthy said, but it was evident
| that he and the members of his party were
| deeply affected at Mr.. Parnel's death.
Charles Stewart Parnell was born in Ireland ir
1877, OF an aristocratic family. one of whose con
neetions was the poet Parnen. He inherited the
estate of Avopdale, in Wicklow, Ireland, and wa:
! educated at Harrow school, England, and Mag
dalen college, Cambridge.

| the United States frigate Constitution during the
| war of 1872. In 1876 he entered parliament from
Meath, and continued member to 1886. He las
| represented Cork in parliament.
He displayed remarkable ability both as
| parliamentary debater and tacticiap, and as al
organizer in the interest of the Irish home rul,
