London, Oct. 14. An enormous con
cnurso of pcoplo surrounded WulBlng
hain torraco when tho casket contain
ing the remains of tho Into Charles
Stewart Pnrncll was taken from tho
house. Slowly and sadly was tho body
placed in an open hcarso, drawn
by tour horses, nnd at 12:15
o'clock p. m. Saturday tho
cortcgo started for tho railroad sta
tion amid a terrific downpour of rain.
Immediately following tho hearse
In mourning coaches was tho
committco of Mr. Parnell's col
leagues in parliament who had been
selected to escort tho body to Holy
head. Tho route to the railroad sta
tion was lined with masses of pcoplo
who Bllently and respectfully watched
tho passing of tho funeral procession.
At the station tho remains
were placed on board tho funcr
Jil car, and, with members
of tho Pnrncll parliamentary
party as watchors, started for Willcs
den Junction, to which pluco tho car
-will bo taken direct and where It will
"bo joined to tho train bound for Holy-
bead. The remains, consequently, will
not pass through London as at first
nroposed.
Mrs. Parnell was utterly unable to
accompany tho remains to Dublin. She
is too ill to undertake tho journey.
Thoro was a terrible scene insido tho
"house when tho casket was about to
be removed. The grief of Mrs. Parnell
was most poignant, and she could with
difficulty bo persuaded to allow the
:offln to be taken away.
As a mark of respect to the dead tho
blinds of many houses along the route
followed by the funeral procession on
its way to the station were drawn
down, and on every side were signs of
sincere sympathy. Tho casket was
covered with magnificent wreaths
of flowers, one of which, in
"the center of all, was from his wife.
As tho hearse passed them, despite tho
down-pouring rain, the spectators took
off their hats and stood uncovered un
til the last carriago had gone by. A
dozen carriages followed the hcarso
irom Wulsingkam terrace to the sta
tion. Tho trip from Brighton to Croydon
-was without incident There was some
delay at Croydon, Parnell's body being
removed from the special car in which
it had been placed. People who want
ed to get a glimpse at it were permit
ted to pass along the platform. Willcs
den Junction was blocked with pcoplo
when tho train arrived, particularly
members of Irish societies in London,
who had como with loads of beautiful
flowers with which to surround the
bier. Several members of parliament
-who knew Parnell and wanted to pay
final respects, irrespective of political
affiliations, were in the throng.
With such a crowd at Willcsden one
can imagine what the demonstration in
the streets would have been had
it
the
the
the
been decided to bring
body through London. When
train arrived at Willesden
special car containing Par
nell's body was immediately surround
ed by a throng of people. Delegates
from Irish societies in London were per
mitted to put flowers into tho car, and
Parnell went to his long rest fairly
loaded down with floral tributes from
admirers.
Duumn, Oct. 10. The clay looked for
ward to with so much anxiety has
passed, and tho country is con
gratulating itself upon tho faet
that no such scenes of disorder as
"had been predicted to mark the
funeral of the national hero, Parnell,
-were witnessed. Tho believers In the
ability of tho Irish people to govern
themselves nre rejoicing at tho evi
dence this occasion has afforded that
even an event which has stirred the
mercurial tornperament of the race to
s. dcgiee seldom paralleled has not
caused them to forget the proprieties
nor led them into any disorderly out
break. During a drenching rain tho remains
of Charles Stewart Parnell were laid to
Test Sunday. Tho funeral was one of
"the most Imposing ever held in Ireland.
Special trains from all parts of the
country brought tens of thousands of
sad-hearted Irishmen to Dublin.
The chief mourners who sat around
the coffin in tho cabin were Mr. Henry
Parnell, who bears a striking re
semblance to his lato brother; Mrs.
Dickenson, a sister, and Miss Dicken
bon, a niece of tho deceased; with these
-was Miss Maude Genne, who became
famous for her stubborn rcslstenco to
tho evictions in Donegal. Sho had trav
eled from Toulon to attend tho funeral
of the man who was an idol with her.
Tho scene at Holyhead when the cor
"tcgo arrived at 1:55 o'clock Sunday
-morning was mournful in tho extreme
Dozens of Parnell's close friends had
come across from Kingstown to meet
the body and burst into tears as they
"beheld tho coffin. Tho remains were
quickly placed aboard tho steamer Ire
land, which had been specially detailed
for this bervlco. The passengers fol
lowed and crowded the boat to its ut
most capacity.
'The steamer arrived at Kiugston
about 0 o'clock in tho morning. Despite
-tho fierce downpour of rain and tho
raw wind that made it almost impossi
ble to stand on the pier thousands of
people wcro waiting and revorontly
bared their heads as tho coffin was
"brought ashore and tho body of Par
noil rested upon the soil of the country
ior which he struggled and died.
A singular scene was now witnessed.
As tho coffin was removed from tho
box which had encased it tho crowd
rushed forward and seized tho box,
tearing It quickly to peiccs for tho pur
pose of obtaining fragments of
the wood as relics. In a
few momenta moro Dublin was
reached, and a great throng
.greeted, with every murk of sor-
row and love, tho coming of tho body
of their leader. Tho coffin was borno
on tho shoulders of six stalwart
Irishmen to St Mlchaol's church,
near tho law courts, whero
tho rector, Kov. Thomas Long,
assisted by Kov. G. A. Fryc,
rector of All Souls' church, Manches
ter, read tho sorvleo of tho church of
Ireland. Tho immcdlato friends and
tho relatives of tho deceased complete
ly filled the church, tho throng of gen
eral mourners remaining mean
while outside In tho pouring
rain. Tho brief scrvico being
over, tho procession was formed
and tho coffin, escorted by numerous
Irish societies nnd by many thousands
of citizens, was conveyed to tho city
hall and placed upon n magnificent
catafalque In tho central hall, nt the
foot of tho statue of the great O'Con
ncll. At tho head of tho coffin stood tho
colors of tho Wlcklow volunteers, or
ganized by Mr. Parnell's father in
1779. At tho top of tho coffin was an
Immcnso cross of flowers, inscribed
with the names of the thirty-one faith
ful parliamentary colleagues of Parnell.
Tho in closure around tho coilln was a
mass of floral offerings of every shape
nnd design, and coining from Parnell's
admirers in all parts of Ireland and
England. So numerous were such trib
utes that room could not bo found tor
all of them in the hall, and the stewards
were finally obliged to request that the
donors send their tokens to the ceme
tery Instead. Some of the masses of
flowers bore revengeful mottoes, but
most of the inscriptions were of a con
ventional typo
At 10 o'eloek the arrangements wcro
completed so that the crowd could be
permitted to file past the coilln. A pro
cession six deep moved past, and tho
stream flowed uninterruptedly for
three hours. It is estimated that 125,
000 people passed the body. The crowd
was kept moving as speedily as poss -bio
by a large detail yf police, and
there was no hitch in tho programme.
The Parnellite members of parliament
stood inside the barrier as a sort of
bodyguard.
At 1 o'clock tho procession was
stopped, though there seemed no end
to the line of people who wished to
pass the coffin. It was necessary,
however, to begin the march to the
cemetery, which would otherwise
not be reached until lato in tho
evening. Kov. Dr. Pryo and Chap
lain M. C. Vincent, of the Kotunda hos
pital, gave the word for the removal
of the body, and at 2:30 o'clock the pro
cession to the tomb began. The coffin
rested on an open hearse, the floral do
bign accompanying It being the ono
sent by the widow bearing the words:
"To My Own True Love, My Husband,
My King."
The other floral tributes were con
veyed to the grave by the pall-bearers
and the colleagues of the deceased:
Among those conspicuous in the pro
cession was Mr. Alexander J. Keid, the
United States consul in Dublin. Not a
single antt-Parnelllte, known as such,
was visible. Tho order of march was:
Pall-bearers, chief mourners, officiating
clergymen, Gaelics, with ex-Hoad-Cen-tcr
James Stephens and the equally
noted John O'Lcary; other societies,
the general public.
Perfect order was observed. The
sight from the city hall, while the vast
cortege was in motion, was uucqualcd
even by the great outpouring at tho
time of the O'Connell centenary.
Tho btrects along the route of
tho procession nnd the intersecting
btrects for blocks in both directions
were masses of human beings, while
the windows and housetops were also
black with spectators. Most of the
houses were draped in mourning, and
festoons of crape were swung across the
streets at frequent intervals. Hun
dreds of Irish flags, draped in black,
were displayed. Twenty bands scat
tered through the line of mnrchcrs
furnished music, the strains of tho
"Dead March in Saul," the "Adeste
Fiedclis" hymns, and Irish dirges add
ing to the solemnity of the occasion.
When the head of the procession ar
rived opposite St Catherine's church,
the scene of Thomas Addis Emmet's
execution, a halt was made for a few
moments, all hats being removed.
A second halt was made in
front of the Bank of Ireland,
the old Irish parliament build
ing, where a similar quiet salute
was rendered, and a third stop was
made at the National club, ot which
Mr. Parnell was the leading member.
All In the procession woro badges of
crape and green ribbon. The line, six
deep, occupied an hour in passing.
Among the banners displayed along
tho route many bore words said to have
been Parnell's last message of love to
his countrymen. The utmost grief was
everywhere manifest, expressions be
ing heard on every side indicating tlmt
many could hardly believe ther great
und beloved leader could have so sud
denly departed. Nothing could con
vincingly exhibit tho immcnso popu
larity of Parnell as this spontaneous
demonstration.
Glasnevon, the last resting place of
tho dead statesman, was reached at 0
o'clock. It was then dark. Tho Gael
ics burrounded the grave, which was
lined with green turf, and into which
tho people, pressing forward as near as
permitted, threw evergreen boughs.
Insido the lino formed by tho Guols
were tho mayor, sheriff and corpora
tion of Dublin, with other leading citi
zens and tho chief mourners.
Revs. Vincent and Fryo read tho
burial servico by the light of lanterns.
The thousands within hearing listened
reverently to what was the most of
them an alien service, and all joined
tearfully in the recitation of the Lord's
Prayer. Tho scene was to most im
pressive. The ladles near the grave
sobbed aloud, and their grief was re
echoed from all around. Ah soon as
tho gruvo was filled up the crowd
began to slowly and quietly disperse.
There was no speaking and no services
except tho reading of tho burial rite.
Tho Gaels wero left to guard tho gravo
und woro soon alone with the deud.
Immediately after tho funerul tho vis
itors began leaving Dublin, all trains
being filled, yet tho city is btlll abnor
mally crowded.
OUTBREAK IN OMAHA.

In .lull A Mob Threatens to Storm tho
llullilhiR, but Desists on 1 'Incline Tlmt
tho 1'rlsoncrs Mail Keen Itcmovcd.
Omaha, Nob., Oct 12. Sovon of tho
leaders of tho mob that lynched Coo
wcro brought to the jail from which
they on Saturday night took their vic
tim, nnd a howling mob surrounded
tho bastllo Saturday night and demand
ed their release. The men under ar
rest aro R. G. IHoom, Cnpt John
O'Donohoe, II. II. Urnndlcs, Ed Fitz
gerald, Ed Ncaschaclfor, Patrick
O'llerno and John Fritz. Hloom is
manager of tho Morse Dry Goods Com
pany, tho largest retail hoiiso in tho
city; O'Donohoe is an ex-captain of
police and O'llerno was arrested while
attending tho democratic county con
tention us a delegate. The men aro
all charged with murder In the first de
cree nnd wero refused ball.
As soon as it became known that
they were under arrest a crowd gath
ered at the city lock-up and demanded
the release of tho prisoners. Instead
of complying with tho request Chief
Senvey loaded the seven men Into a
patrol wagon and rushed them up to
the county jail. Tho crowd followed,
and by 7:80 p. in. tho jail was sur
rounded and word was sent to County
Attorney Mahoney that unless the men
were released on bail they would bo
taken from the jail by force. Ma
honey replied that wider no circum
stances would tho men bo released.
The crowd at once began to make
preparations for storming tho jail.
There wcro fully 5,000 people In tho
mob. The mob secured a big steel rail
and inarched to the east door. They
had just started to use it as a battering
ram when a committee of citizens
appeared at the jail door and
made a proposition to the crowd to
have a committee appointed to go
through the jail and ascertain if tho
men wanted were inside. This suited
the crowd, nnd when the committee re
ported that five of the men had been
released and the other two had been
taken out of town for safe keeping the
mob dispersed.
County Attorney Mahoney said that,
under the laws of Nebraska, any man
who took part in the lynching was
guilty of murder in the first degree and
punishable by hanging. Mahoney will
advise the county commissioners to
offer a reward for the arrest and con
viction of the leaders of the mob Ho
did not blnine tho county and city
oillcers, but thought that if a squad of
police had been detailed when the mob
flrst gathered all trouble would have
been avoided. Omaha and Douglas
county would bo compelled to take hold
of the matter and ferret out the perpe
trators of what he called a cowardly
and cold-blooded murder.
Jailer Horrigan in speaking of the
case said that Coc was alive when he
was pulled through the window and
into the open air, but before ho was 10
feet from the jail he was dead. Every
spark of life had left his carcass, as ho
was tramped upon by hundreds of men,
while others at the end of the rope
pulled the body almost limb from limb.
Scarcely had the body of Coe stopped
its convulsive swaying Friday before it
was known that the negro's victim was
not dead and in no danger of death.
It ia claimed that tho announcement
tho papers gave of the death of the
child was merely an incident in tho
plot to provoke mob violence by tho
friends of the victim's family. Crepe
had been attached to the door of tho-
fanny, and apparently preparations
were being made for tho child's funeraL
SWEPT BY FLAMES.
I"lre Destroys Many ltulldlngs lit Dwlcht,
III., Including Ono Hotel.
Dwight, 111., Oct. 12. A very disas
trous lire broke out here Saturday
morning about half past 9 o'clock.
Tho wind was very high, and a total
lack of water and means to subdue tho
fire caused in a very short time a loss
of S20,000. There was very little in
surance. The fire broke out in tho
engino room of Keppllnger's ma
chine shop, a largo two-story
wooden building with a public hall
above. This was completely destroyed.
Tho violence of the wind was so great
and the flames so fierce that the fire
swept across the street, over the rail
road traek of the Chicago & Alton rail
way, and totally destroyed tho resi
dence of Thomas Perry. Sweeping west
the fire next destroyed the printing office
of tho Dwight Star and Ilertild, on
which thero was an Insurance of SI, 000.
The Dwight steam laundry of Barr &
Co. was totally destroyed; insurance on
machinery, SI, 000. Tho building and
printing oflice of C. A. Stuck, of the
North Star, was next completely con
sumed. Tho furniture warehouse of Mrs.
Koehnlein was also burned. By fur
the greatest destruction and loss was
tho burning of tho Struffe house. This
was a largo two-story hotel which had
been erected this summer for tho ac
commodation of tho Keeley patients.
Some of the furniture was saved, but
tho house itself was totally destroyed.
At this stage of tho flro tho whole block,
which contains some of the finest resi
dences of the town, was threatened
with destruction. Next to the Struffe
house was the residence of Mr. Crock
er, u two-story frame building, stand
ing isolated. This building was torn
down and dragged away and by this
action the flro was stopped and much
loss pmventcd. Engines came from
Odell, Bloomlngton and Joliet and ren
dered good service.

A SLY WIDOW.
Employed by .Towplry l'lrin to Smuggle
Diamonds Into This Country, Sho I)l
ni Hours with Going Valued nt H.'tO.OOO,
Nr.w "Yoiik, Oct )0. Inspector
Byrne's men aro looking for a Mrs.
Yaney, who Is a most expert smugglci
nnd swindler. Sho Is accused by a dia
mond importing firm In Chicago, whoso
name! Is not mentioned for obvious rea
sons, of making herself senrco with a
quantity of diamonds belonging to
thcin.
In this particular firm thero Is con
sternation on account of their little
financial venture to defraud Uncle Sam
of his just dues. With them is impli
cated n Maiden lane firm of this' city,
that was Interested as ngent To carry
out their scheme for importing dia
monds at as llttlo expense as posslblo
they engaged Mrs. Yaney, a New York
woman, who chnngiyj her name with
the season nnd who Is regarded by cus
toms officers as a "slick one," having
oludcd their vigilance at every eastern
port Sho Is a professional "free
trader," long known to tho authorities
as such, and they always lay plots for
her, but on Friday last sho made her
master stroke.
Mrs. Yaney, in personal appearance,
is youthful. Despite tho silver in her
hair, sho has a figure that would graco
a girl of 18. Sho dressed In widow's
weeds, nnd was so successful in her
little smuggling schemes that the
officers began to doubt whether tho
pretty waist was not a receptacle for
some of the contrband goods. She has
been examined by female searchers and
every thread of clothes she had on care
fully scrutinized, yet she managed to
get goods into New York safely.
Mrs. Yaney, or whatever her name
may be, is not an American. She came
to New York early in tho spring of
1SS9. At that time she was ac
companied by a diminutive Mon
golian attendant, connected to
whom by a bhort gold chain
was a demure pelican. As neither
pelicans nor Mongolians nre down on
the tariff list they were allowed to pass.
Since that time tho interesting woman
and bird, Zip, have been frequent
passengers between Europe and
New York on various steamers, and
it is alleged that between them
about a million dollars' worth of dia
monds have been imported without
duty. It is strange that while tho
woman was always suspected,! tho pel
ican has never been. This is attributed
to the fact that the bird wore as demuro
a look as tho boy in whose custody it
was.
Last Friday, just before the French
steamer landed, the bird was taken by
tho boy into the mistress' stateroom.
When he was landed he was led from
the steamer looking as if he had been
attacked by a virulent form of mumps.
But it was overlooked by the cus
toms officers. Tho three wcro no
ticed to bundle into carriages at the
dock, and It is supposed that while on
the way up town the bird was relieved
of its mumns. Tho mumps consisted
of 830,000 worth of bright sparkling
diamonds. These diamonds should have
been delivered to a firm in Maiden lane,
to be shipped to tho other "free
trade" firm of diamond t merchants in
Chicago. Instead, however, Mrs.
Yaney. with a dozen other attractive
widow names, went somewhere on her
own account All trace of her has
been lost, and within twelve hours of
her arrival the police of half a hun
dred cities were notified to look out
for her.
The two diamond Importing firms nre
in a sorry predicament. They aro abus
ing themselves for having been so
adroitly swindled, and are trembling
for the consequences of their expose. In
order to save 830,000 they have left
themselves liable to prosecution and
the imposition of fines which may cost
thpin far more than tho loss of the
parcel of sparklers. According to tho
terms of the contract between the two
firms it is said tho Chicago house ad
vanced 810,000 on the diamonds, agree
ing to pay the other 820,000 on their de
livery. But the Mniden lane house
can't deliver until it finds Mrs. Yaney.

HOEYS DISGRACE.
TI.A President of tho Ad urns Kxprrsl
Cnmpnny Deponed Tor Mnllcnsnnco in
Onlco.
Nnw Yonic, Oct 18. John Hooy,
president of tho Adams Express Com
pany, was on Monday deprived of
his position ns prcstdont and
trusteo by tho unanimous voto
of tho full board of managers. Mr.
Hooy was charged with malfeas
ance In office. Clapp Spoonor, tho vlco
president of tho company, tendored his
resignation Immediately after the voto
for the expulsion of tho president nnd
the resignation was accepted.
The meeting was held in tho after
noon In the Broadway ofllco of tho
company and the members of the board
present besides Hoey were Vlcc-Prcsl-dent
Spooner, of Connecticut; Henry
Sanford, of Connecticut; Waldo Adams,
of Boston; John A. Herring, of Phila
delphia; W. B. Dlnsmcro, of Now Yoric;
L. C. Weir, of Cincinnati; John Dam
sel, of St Louis, and Clarence E. Sew
ard, of New York, general counsel for
the Adams Express Company.
It was during Mr. Hoey's absence In
Europe that an Investigation wasmado
whicl resulted in the action taken
Monday. The president of the company
returned from his trip abroad Wednes
day last and was notified tho day fol
lowing that a special meeting of tho
boaidof directors would be held, and
his presence was particualrly re
quested. It is presumed that ho
knew what was coining, for he con
sulted one of his close, personal friends
in the board, and, it is said, sought to
gain a promise of support But thero
was not a single dissenting voice when
the .question came to a vote.
Immediately after the . meeting
hud been called to order
r. member of the board
who had formulated tho charges hand
ed a typewritten copy to the secretary,
who arose from his chair and began to
read. He had not pi'oceeded for more
than a minute when President Hoey
got up and left the room. He was
very much agitated. After the reading
had been finished the member who
acted as accuser spoke bitterly of the
president and the course he had pur
sued. Then the vote was put and Mr.
Hoey was retired from tho corporation
where he had labored, man and boy,
for half a century. The resignation of
Vice President Spooner was offered and
accepted and the meeting adjourned.
When the news reached uptown it
created a profound sensation among
those who were partly familiar with
the affairs of the big express company.
John Hoey began as a messenger and
parcel carrier, and was up to this time
not only the leading man in the
express business of the coun
try, but a general favorite in
club and society circles. He is"
the occupant and owner of Hollj--wood,
the palatial summer home near
Long Branch. Ho succeeded William
B. Dmsmore as president of the com
pany. The trouble which overtook
him Monday was foreshadowed last
spring in a suit brought by Henry C.
Sherburne against him. Clapp Spooner
and Edward A. Taf t were codefendants.
The action was brought to recover
a sum of money approximating 8500,
000. Mr. Hoey then admitted under
oath that he had been a party to a
transaction by which a syndicate of
three men sold property which had
cost them about S130.000 to William B.
Dinsmore, then the president of
tho Adams Express Company.
For this S130.000 which they
received from Dinsmore Dinsmore
afterward received from the Adams
Express Company the sum of 8S50.000.
For this property Mr. Hoey had not
paid a cent, but he accepted one-quarter
of the profit, which amounted to
8720,000. His quarter was between
8179,000 and 8180,000. The suit was ap
pealed. LIFE IN RUSSIA.
Sloro Stories of tho Horrible Destitution
In tho Provinces.
St. PnTKRsnuito, Oct 13. According
to the latest accounts received hero
from tho provinces a considerable por
tion of the population is now on foot
swaying hither und thither from town
to town in tho vain hope of escap
ing famine. Endless caravans of
tho bloodless,' fleshless, hollow
cheeked shadows of men creep funer
eally along seeking alms and work in
every city on tho way. A telegram
from Stavropol, in tho government of
that name, announces that a regiment
of them entered that town perishing of
want. Through the city of Tlumen
alono over 55,000 hungry lnckalls have
passed, on the bodies of many of whom
the ravens aro now probably feeding.
The sick list increases daily and not
only is medical assistance not to be pro
cured, but there is no food for the sup
port ot life of theso wanderers, and no
fuel or clothing to keep them warm.
The dispatches say that tho frost is in
tense. Even St. Petersburg is begin
ning to realize that a famine is raging
in the provinces. The price of bread
has gone up considerably and
is still rising. Tho nowspapers until
very lately were forbidden to speak
of it, but thjsy are beginning
to admit tlmt deaths from hun
ger have occurred and aro occurring.
The Jews are still being hunted,
seized and driven from Kicff, whero
they have no legal right to reside, and
from the suburbs of Kicff, where they

recruits already.

ing to keep up tho fight against tho Mc
Carthyltcs. Tho manifesto Is ns follows:
"Ireland has lost Its lender, but tho causo of
Irolnnd's freedom remains. Wo havo o. duty to
tho living and tho doad. That duty is to main
tain erect and unsullied tho flag ot tho national
lndopcndbnco. You, thopooplo of Ireland, qavo
Into tho hands ot Charles Stewart Pnrnoll and
his parliamentary colleagues tho chnrgo ot
your political Interests nnd tho honor nnd
safety o( your political causo. You usltcd us
by constitutional means to restore, prosper
ity, peace and freedom to our country undor
tho head of our Illustrious chief. Animated
by his spirit and guided by his clear
Intelligence nnd firmness ot soul wo car
ried tho struggle to tho point nt which
tho dawn of victory was soon by nil men. In
an unfortunnto hour a majority of tun Irish
rcprcontntivcs, nt tho bidding of an English
statesman, brolto from our ranks, abandoned
tho flag of Independent opposition nnd
rnngod themselves ns followers nnd sntolltes
of a British statesman. Wo who ad
dress you refused to becomo partlos to
this treason nnd relying on tho national con
victions maintained Intact our allcglnnco to
tho Independent national party of Iroland, con
vinced that our people would Justify and sup
port us. Tho groat leader Is dead, but
tho causo lives, and relying on your
dovotlon to Irish nationality wo pro
poso to carry on tho Btrugglo un
til tho principles for which bo lived and died
havo triumphed nnd national unity has been
restored. Tho parliamentary party Is pledged
to work for Ireland undor tho flag of Inde
pendent opposition and absolutely frco from
tho control oi any loreign power or party. Tina
Is our resolution. Its realization depends on
you. It Involves sacrlllcos and struggles nnd
wo call on you to make them.
"True to our principles thnt wo nro tho rep
resentatives nnd instruments of tho pcoplo, wo
have resolved to call together a convention ot
representative Irishmen to discuss lu tho name
of tho nation tho means by which wo can best
carry out tho policy and progrninmo which ho
bequeathed us in dying. To our ranks wo shall
welcome all honest men who believe thnt the
political affairs of Iroland should bo controlled
and directed by tho representatives of the
Irish people nnd by them alono: but with the
men Immediately responsible for tho
disruption of tho national party, who In
obcdlcnco to foreign dictation have
loaded with calumny nnd hounded
to death tho foremost mun of our race, wo can
have no fellowship, and on tbclr guidance Ire
land can hnvo no safety. Between them nnd
tho men who stood truo to tho causo of nation
al Independence Ireland must chooso. On the
threshold of tho tomb tho leader who we
mourn donned our duty In these Imperishable
words'.
" 'If I wcro dead and gone to-morrow tho men
who aro fighting against Kngllsh lnflucnco In
Irish public Ufa would fight on still; they
would still bo tbp Independent nationalists;
they would still hollevo in the future of Iro
land, and they would still protest that It was
not by taking ordcis from an English minister
that Ireland's futuro could bo saved.'
"Fellow-countrymen, lot It bo to tho glory oi
our raco at homo and abroad to net up to the
spirit of this message. God savo Ireland."
Parnell's friends are indignant at tho
statements made by John Dillon and
others that Parnell refused to rclcaso
tho Paris fund of 0,000 for tho
benefit of the evicted tenants.
Parnell's friends claim that ho was
perfectly willing to rclcaso tho fund,
provided that his claims for money ad
vanced to evicted tenants should bo al
lowed on tho same basis as money ad
vanced to John Dillon and others. Mr.
Dillon, it is asserted, is perfectly
willing to have his own claims al
lowed out of the fund, but not
willing that Mr. Parnell's claim should
be recognized. The funds, according
to Mr. Parnell's latest statement,
amounted to about 35,000. Against
this there aro a number of claims,
bringing the total arailable amount
down to about 820,000.
WIND AND WAVE.

und Gale.
Nnw YoitK.jOct 18. The terrible
storm which hJP swept over the Atlan
tic and beaten upon tho coast has
strewn the shore from Maine to Flor
ida with the wrecks of many craft and
has undoubtedly cost the.livcs of many
hardy seamen.
The great steamers from Europe had
a terrible experience in the gale. Tho
Umbria and tho Augusta Victoria, of
the Cunard line, arrived Monday and
both suffered severely. Four of tho
passengers of the steamship Augusta
"Victoria have broken limbs to ex
hibit as a record of tho severity of tho
voyage. Eight others wero moro or
less injured on the vessel. Tho vessel
ran into the galo on the 4th and could
not shako it off until the 9th. Tho
seas ran mountain high and
frequently broke over tho bows
of tho steamer, washing every
thing movable from tho decks. A sud
den roll of tho vessel on the wildest
day of the storm dashed many of tho
passengers down, and when picked up
four were found to have broken arms
and legs, while eight others wero se
verely bruised.
Several passengers on tho Umbria
wero injured also.

000,000 feet. Otherwise it will bo
double that amount
