PARNELL IN HIS GRAVE.
Countless Irish Leg pions Mourn at the
Dead Leaders Bier.

Dbuy OF the tedI iflSH Itdutf. / ne
remains of Mr. Parnell arrived at
Kingston at o'clock this morning
After leaving London there were no
demonstrations along the railroad route
until Chester was reached Here large
deputations from Liverpool, Manchest-
er, Preston, Newcastle e-onTyne and
other places joined the train. Mr..
Parneil's colleagues in Parliament, IN
Guiding John +. Redmond of Wexford;
John O'Connor, of TIpperarv; Joseph
Nolan, of Louth; Henry Campbell of
Fermanagh; DR.. James q. Fitzgerald,
of Longford, and James j. O'kelly, Of
Roscommon, extended greetings to the
various deputations. The funeral train
reached Holyhead at about o'clock
1t was typical British October morn
ing-dark, dismal, wet, cold and hazy.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable sur
roundlngs, eager groups of peo-
pie had collected on the quay
to watch the transference of the
coffin from the train to the
mail boat, appropriately named the
ireland, in the inky darkness, which
ering lamps in and about the railway
station and water front. The large
white wooden case in which the coffin
had been placed was borne upon the
shoulders of seamen to the steamer.
The journey across was eventless, the
boat making the passage in a gale of
wind and through torrents of rain
At kingstOwn q crowd had collected
to receive the remains on Irish soil.
Conspicuous among those present were
the followers of Mr.. Parnell, Richard
Power, member for Waterford: DR.. Jo-
seph +. kenney, for Cork I. Lawrence
Carew, for Kildare; James j. Dalton,
for, West Donegal; I. Rochfort Mcguire,
for. North Donegal; John J. Clancy, for
Dublin County; VIM. J. Corbet, for
East Wicklow; Col. John P
Nolan, for Galway, and Patrick
O'Brien for North Monaghan. These
with the members of the
House of Commons who followed the
body from London, and the kingstown
delegation, comprising nearly all the
parliamentary adherents of Mr.. Parnell.
All gathered around the coffin in abso-
lutte silence, which was unbroken even
by the exchange of friendly greetings,
until after the transference of the body
to the railway carriage. The short dis
tance was soon made, the train arriving
at the Dublin station at 80. As the
hearse moved from the station, a
body of police formed in front
of the procession, which appeared to
fall into an orderly line in a purely cx-
temporized fashion. The band OF the
Workingmen's Union followed directly
behind the police escort, and PLAYED
the "Dead March in Saul" 1t was an
assemblage of remarkable serenity A
reYerential quiet pervaded the entire
mass, which was unbroken by partisan
cries or even the remotcst symptom or
tendency to disorder.
At precisely 10 o'clock the gates of
the city hall were opened, and instant
ly the people poured into the building.
The body lay in state in the council
chamber-a large circular room now
heavily draped in black, relieved by
scrolls of white satin and looped
testoons, bearing in black letters the
last words Of the dead chief. The
coffin, which rested upon raised das
in the middle OF the chamber, was
buried in masses of wreaths. floral
crosses, Irish harps and other floral
designs. From 10 o'clock till in the
afternoon Il continuous stream of peo-
pie poured into the city hall. 1t is es-
timated that 10000 people ayailed
themselves OF the opportunity to pay
their respects to the illustrious dead
Nearly all wore the deepest mourn-
lng-the men with band of black
Grape interviewer with green
ribbon around the arm. Despite the
drenching rain, a large proportion of the
m0urners were women. The ceremony
Of lying in state was to have been closed
at noon, but the crowd was SO numer-
Gus that the closing Of the doors was
postponed till after2 o'clock, and even
then hundreds We're obliged to 90 away
disappointed.
At 2:45 the procession started, led by
the executive of the leadership com
mittee. Following came the bier,
drawn by six coal-black horses, sur
rounded by the parliamentary col
leagues of Mr.. Parnell. As the coffin
passed, almost hidden in flowers. ev-
cry head in the vast assembiage was
uncovered. Mr.. Parnell' s tavorite horse
followed the bier. Then came a strong
body of the Clan-naGaels, headed
by James Stephens and John O. Leary
Prominent among the individual mem
bers of the procession was John O'Con-
nor, leading by the arIl the blind mem
ber, Mcdonald. Then came carriages
containing Mrs. Dickinson, the sister of
Mr.. Parnell, Mr. Parneil's brother and
sister. and other nearer friends. The
lord mayor, In state, preceded by
the city marshal and the sword
and mace bearers, was next behind
the family carriages. Then followed
the repr, sentauyes of the various cor
porations of the principal Irish towns,
various trade societies, Forestcrs, home
rulers, private carrlanes and citizens on
foot. Just as the procession started the
rain happily ceased; the sun broke
through the clouds and shone brilliantly.
The scene was most oppressive. All the
windows and house-tops along the line
of march were packed with people. 1t
had been planned to take a somewhat
circuitous route 10 the cemetery in
order to CRAFTY the anxiety OF the
thousands of people in the city, but as 1t
was found that it would be scarcely
possible to reach the place of burial
before Is 0 clock, the more indirect route
was abandoned.
1t was a great prOcesslon-surpassin
in point of numbers anything Of the
kind ever witnessed in Dublin. Besides,
it presented some extraordinary feat
ure4 never seen III any other city III the
world. Anywhere else demonstration
on so large a scale would have been
conducted on a regular plan; some or
ganizing body appointed with narshals
to guide the elements into an orderly
sequence, and 10 see 10 IL tndt
such bodies as We're authorized
to participate on the occasion
should be protected on their march
from the haphazard incursion Of ir-
regular and outside elements. Here,
however. no such systematic plan
seemed to regulate the procession, yet
the same fine instinct of reverential
order, pervading everywhere, gave. the
march an aspect of drilled regularity.
1t was a motley mob of well-clad citi-
zens side by side with the raggedest,
that followed the procession and .ex-
tended some miles.
BY 4 O'Clock the police became over
