PARNELITE SPLIT ENDED
John Redmond Issues a Manifesto to
 Nationalists

London, Oct. 21.-John Redmond, mem- Der of Parliament, chairman of the Irish Parliamentary party, has issued mani festo to the Nationalists, in which he says he finds that the results of the elections shows that the Parnellite split is ended, and that there is a universal desire for a united movement based on ParnelIs policy of hold ing aioof from all English parties. He thinks the Conservative majority Is unwieldy and contains seeds for an early disruption.
 MT. Redmond, therefore, urges the main- tenance of unity and discipline in the Ma tionalist ranks and the adoption of a fear less and aggressive policy to combat the Conservatives in and out of Parliament
 MT. Redmond also indorsed the United Irish League saying the elections proved that the Nationalists were overwhelmingly in sympathy with it.

Warner started for a walk Among his acquaintances was colored man to whom MT. Warner gave books to encourage his desire to read, par ticularly books connected with the hnistory of the colored race, upon which MT. War ner was an authority. Mir Warner prob ably intended to call on this man, as he was in the neighborhood of his house when he was stricken Probably feeling i'll, he asked leave at d house to sit down, and then to lie down, requesting to be called in ten minutes. When the woman of the house went to call him he was dead. News of his sudden death spread rapidly and was d great shock.
 Senator Hawley, when called upon this evening, spoke briefly of his relations with Charles Dudley Warner. He said:
 MT. Warner was admitted to the bar to practice his profession in Chicago. In his early days his tastes were in the direction of literature, and in 1890, having known him as d personal friend from boyhood, wrote to him to come East, asking him to join me in the conduct of the Press, the original Republican paper of the state. Mr. Warner became partner with me and remained so until this date. MT. War ner's great abilities and his charming per sonal qualities won for him great circle of friends, including probably most of the leaders in literature. He was d man ot delightful temperament, and IS his many published works show, of inc wlt ana humor. Among his special friends were his pastor, Rev. Joseph T. w. TWetchell, and Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twaln).
