| Di hmn, Oct. 1.' —Yesterday was the
| sixth anniversary of the death of
I l harles Ste*rart I'arnell. Five thous-
and Nationalists paraded the streets
to the bleak Glasnevin cemetery,
where they heaped high the grave of
their famous and lamented leader
with flowers brought from all tho
counties of Ireland. The demonstra-
tion was unique. Previous demonstra-
tions have had strictly a funereal char-
acter, but in accordance with the
decision of the leaders, that of yester-
day was divested of all the trappings
and suits of woe and converted into a
triumphal procession, lively national
airs replacing dirges.
The country people were brought in
by crowded excursion trains. In their
hats they wore ivy and shamrocks in-
stead of crepe. It was emphatically
the people s day, for the aristocracy
held coolly aloof. No flags were raised
on the public buildings along the line
of march, and only a few houses of the
poor displayed decorations. The pov-
erty of Ireland was exhibited not only
by the children who walked in their
bare feet, but in the attempts at a
uniform for the processionists, who
seldom achieved more than a faded
green sash or a spray of ivy.
No Union Jacks were carried, but
nearly every county dslegation raised
the Stars and Stripes next to the green
flag One of the most suggestive fea-
tures of the demostration was the pre-
dominance of children and aged peo-
ple, showing that the tide of emigra-
tion is carrying Ireland's able-bodied
sons and daughters to more prosper-
ous lands.
On the arrival of the procession at
the cemetery the committee and the
members of the Parnell family depos-
ited wreaths and floral tokens on the
grave. There was no speech-making
and nothing in the way of formal cer-
emony. There were no partisan col-
lisions and the tone of the an ti-I'ar-
nell press in commenting upon the
anniversary and the celebration was
exceptionally moderate.
Flood In (iotham.
Nlw \ ork, Oct. 12.—A large Croton
water main burst early yesterday
morning at the corner of Madison
avenue and Thirty-eighth street, the
heart of the fashionable district, and
wrought such havoc, both near and re-
mote, that not even a partirl calcula-
tion can be made of the financial dam-
age at present. For blocks around
scarcely a building escaped injury by
reason of the volumes of water which
pour'd into the streets, cellars and
basements. Tho loss will reach far
into the thousands.
Taxing Uncle Sam's Treasury.
Santa Fe, N. M.. Oct 12.—United

he went to deliver ten Chinese who

of Southern New Mexico, for failing
to possess certificates, with photo-
graphs attached, required by law.
Mr. Foraker says that it cost tiie gov-
ernment about S3,000 to deport these

things iu the Indian Teraitory, and
they will accept it peaeably; that they
will treat on liberal lines, and all
they will ask of the Dawes commis-
sion is aeontinuation of tribal gov-
ernment for ten years.

and hanged to a tree, but managed to
free himself and escape, although se-
verely injured. A posse started out
