D,IsraeIi's Last Moments.

London, April 19.-Lord Beaconsfeld's
renewed debility began Sunday night,
when an east wind began to blow
continued to lose ground through
out Monday. An unfavorable wind
constantly increasing, he died at half
past four o'clock this morning
as calmly as if he were asleep.
The announcement of bis desth was
Immediately dispatched to the Queen, Prince
of Wales and other members of the royal
family and to Mr.. Gladstone,
who is now at Howard Inn. Thenews be-
came generally throughout the city towards
Is o'clock. when special editions OF
the morning papers were issued
containing the amendment. Though not
unexpected, in view of his physicians state
ment last night, his symptoms gave
grounds for more grave anxiety
than at any period during his illness. His
death creates dear sensation, "
was observed at 3:15 this morning
that Lord Beaconsfeld's end was near
His physicians think it was only his strength
of will that enabled him TO struggle on as
long as he did. Accounts gathered from his
physicians shows he continued his cheeful-
ness several times during his illness
He stated bis belief that he would
die. One of the doctors says
the over drowsiness which had been apparent
earlier in the night, deepened toward mid
night and the stupor from which he
was with difficulty aroused. he
then took nourisnment up to half past
o'clock. About 2 o'clock be became coma
tose, breathing with much difficulty.
Doctors Kidd and Bruce at once applied the
usual restoratives but for tho first time since
his illness, they failed to produce
any effect, and II became evident that death
was imminent five minutes before be expired,
bis breathing became slow and gentle, bis
face was very placid; Lis hearts
action and pulse continued few minutes
after bis breathing ceased. His friends and
nurses continued At the bed few moments
after his pulse cessed. The end was so
quiet that ii was difficult 10 realize that be
was dead.
The Pail Mall Gazette in leading article
to-day SAYS that Beacons6eld's death will be
an irrepsrsble loss 10 his followers. 1t is
very clear The loss may prove only less seri-
ous 10 the liberals than 20 the conserva-
tives. The profound transformation which
