PARNELL MEMORIAL
LONDON, October 2. Mr St. Gauden'e statue of Charles Stewart Parnell was unveiled at Dublin. A vast gathering witnessed a procession of the Nationalist Societies through the city. Thousands of excursionists came from the west and north, but the strike necessitated the cancelling of the Munster excursions. The police specially guarded the Lord Mayor. Mr Farrell's carriage was hooted and compelled to leave the procession. Mr Redmond in unveiling the memorial, said that Mr Parnell had found the Irish peasants serfs, and had made them free men. Home Rule was now in the position it occupied before Mr Parnell's death, and in addition the House of Lords' power to oppose it had gone.
