ssI ann mot Afraid of Death''-Last Words
 ofthe Dead Statesman-A Peaceful Scene
 at the Death Bed.
 LONDON, April 19.-M. Baehm, the sculp- tor, has just taken a. cast of Lord Beacons- fields face. The body will be placed in the coffin tonight.
 Lord Beaconsfeld' s renewed debility began on Sunday night when an east wind began to blow. He continued to lose ground through out Monday, the unfavorable wind continu- ing and constantly increasing in keenness. He died as calmly as if he were asleep. The intelligence of his death was immediately sent to the Queen, the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family, and to Mr. Gladstone, who is now at Hawarden. The news became generally known through out the city toward o'clock when special editions of the morning newspapers were issued containing the announcement. Though not unexpected in view of his physicians statement last night that his symptoms gave grounds for more grave anxiety than at any period during his illness, his death creates a widespread excitement. It was observed at 3:15 o'clock this morning that Lord Beacons-
 fields end was near. His physicians think it was only his strength of will that enabled him to struggle on as long as he did. His courage never failed him to the last It is probable that, unless the Queen other wise orders, the body of Lord Beaconsfeld will be buried at Hughenden beside his wife. Accounts gathered from his physicians show that he retained his cheerfulness. He several times during his illness asserted his belief that he would die. One of the doctors says the drowsiness which had been apparent earlier in the night deepened toward midnight was with great difficulty reused. He then took nourishment up to half past 1 o'clock. About o'clock he became comatose, breathing with much difficulty. Drs. Kidd and Bruce at once applied the usual restoratives, but for the first time since his illness they failed to produce any effect, and it became evident that death was immi- nent. Lord Harrington, Dr. Quain and Sir Philip Rose were hastily summoned Sir Philip Rose and Dr. Quain only arrived few minutes before the end. Five minutes be- fore he died his breathing became slow and gentle. His face was very placid. The hearts action and pulse continued a few min utes after his breathing ceased to be appa- rent. His friends and nurses continued round his bed some time after his pulse ceased, as the end was so quiet that it was difficult to realize that he was dead. All were deeply affected.
 LONDON, April 2O.-Tuesday is mentioned as the day of Beaconsfeld's funeral The Prince of Wales sent special messenger from Sandringham with letters of condolence. The Queen says she loses her most valued and devoted friend and counsellor and the nation one of it's most distinguished states men. Expressions of regret are being re- ceived from over the whole country. The Standard this morning appears with seven teen columns of obituary. The foreign press devotes large portion of space to the death of Earl Besconsfield and there is much ex- citement at Paris, Vienna Berlin and St. Petersburg
 The Queen expressed desire to visit Lord Beaconsfeld, but her physicians begged her not to do so lest it disturb the patient. Lord Rowton has been left in full control of all of Lord Beaconsfeld's private papers and can do what he likes with them. The Post ap- pears in black this morning. One of the last sayings of Lord Beaconsfield was, q had rather live, but I am not afraid of death"
