We to the United States, died at the
embassy this morning at 5:S5 o'clock..t
The Improvement which had been noted
in his condition during the past week re-
ceived a sudden check about o'clock
last evening, when 1t was noticed that he
was experiencing difficulty in breathing.
Dr. Jung. his physician. was immediat II
sent for, and he decided upon a consulta
tian with a local physician, in the mea.r
time telegraphing for DR.. Osler of Balu-
more In his stead came DR.. Thayer of
Johns Hopkins University, arriving about
2 . o'clock this morning. The patients
pulse was still good and when DR.. Thayer
left the embassy at 3 O'clock for Balti-
more the ambassador was resting so
comfortably that a cablegram was sent
to his son-in-iay, Mr.. Bromley, In Lon
don. that there was no immediate danger.
Soon after O. clock distinct weakness
of the heart developed and his pulse be-
gan to collapse. He died so peacefully
that 1t surprised even his physician, who
feared that the asthmatic affection would
prove troublesome when the end came.
At the bedside when the distinguished
diplomat passed away were Mrs. Paunce-
fote, Miss sybil and Miss Audrey, DR..
Jung and Mr.. Radford. one of the clerks
attached to the embassy.
AS soon as it became generally known
that Lord Pauncefote was dead. flags
were half-masted over the different en-
bassies and legations. At the Arlington
Hotel where the visiting Frenchmen who
have come to visit the Rochambeau
statue unveiling, are stopping, the French
flag was placed at half-mast
BY noon all of the embassies and lega-
ttons were informed of the sad event.
Expressions of sincere sympathy and re-
gret were heard on all sides and racial
preiudices and national differences were
swept away as the representatives of the
other great nations of the world at the
capital spoke in terms of deep sorrow
and high tribute of the deceased ambas-
sador from Great Britain.
The office of dean of the diplomatic
corps at Washington now devolves upon
Mr. Won Holleben, the German ambassa-
ed by applause and it was evident that his
arguments made a deep impression favor
able to the measure.
| Dr. Briggs of Kansas CITY closed for the
! opposition. He could see no necessity for,
| the proposed new departure. The work
| that deaconesses would be called upon to
do was being properly attended to by
other elements of the church. He called
