Mr.. Frehnghuysen did not move or show
any signs of consciousness. When he was
taken sick several weeks ago there was a

primary cause lay in the liver and the mu-
Gus membrane of the stomach, from which
he had suffered before he gave mp the cares
of Office at Washington. He fell iuto a stupor,
from which he never entirely recovered.
When his system recovered from the shock
of the stupor, his pulse and temperature
became normal again, and there was no
fever except ON one occasion, when his
pulse rose to 102, but was afterward re-
duced. The pulse and temperature IN
creased, and his enfeebled constitution was
unable to bear the strain of the exhaustion.

gence of the death of ex- Secretary Freling-
huysen. Secretary Bayard telegraphed Mrs.
Frelinghuysen as follows:
president and his Cabinet have just
heard with deep sensbility Of the death
Of your honored husband. Accept from
each and all of US expressions of sincere
sympathy and coincidence.
