At the Death of One of Her Leading
Statesmen.

London. May 2i-The officials at tie
British foreign office and the United
States embassy were greatly shocked this
morning at thc news nf the death nf Lora
Paunctfotc, tht British ambassador at
Washington. ann expressed the drepts st
sympathy with the widow and realz2-
tion Of the loss sustained by both coun-
tries.
The foreign Office representatives were
particularly affected as. apparently. they
had no idea that the ambassadors con-
dition had been critical. No action will
be taken, in all probability. except the
sending of private messages of condo
lence. before next Monday.
'The empire loses one Of its first diplo
matists.' the the Westminster Gazette s
comment on the death of Lord Pauncc-
fote. "As the representative Of Grea.
Britain in the United States mt the time
of the Venezuelan dispute in particular,
it will be remembered with what tact and
judgment he handled a situation which
in less skilfu hands might have led to
the most deplorable results.
History will probably do justice to the
tactful conciliatorv methods by which
Lord Pauncefotc seconded the efforts opf
Lord Salisbury to secure an amicabie
settlement" comments the st. James Ga
zette in relation to the same decidedly
strained situation"

Immediately upon being notified of the
death of Lord PaunCefote, Sec. Hay went
to the White House. and after a short
conference with the President proceeded
directly to the British embassy, where
he made a formal call Of coincidence as
the personal representative of the Prcs-
dent, preliminary to the call which the

partment, Sec Hay dispatched the fol-

sentiments in the above cablegram. and
all that he cared to say in addition Of

man Of very high personal merit, but H.

Having dispatched his message of con-
dolence, the secretary Of state proceeded
to attend the ceremonies connected with
the dedication Of the Rochambeau statue.
AT first there seemed to be am incongrui-
ty in this, but it appeared that an act
OF Congress required the statue to be un-
yelled at this date, and although there
was every disposition in official circles
and on the part of the French embassy
to defer the ceremonies until another day

ward the program.
