LORD PAUNCEFOTE's ILLNESS.

Washington, May 24.-All through the last
winter Lord Pauncefote had been a sufferer from
intermittent attacks of asthma and rheumatic
gout but he bravely kept his feet as much
as possible, went to the State Department reg
ularly on diplomatic days. and generally strove
to keep up his active duties. though 1t was evil
dent that the effort it caused him was great.
In the early part of March the Ambassador
went to North Carolina visit to George W.
Vanderbilt at Biltmore and remained there for
about fortnight in the hope Of recuperatlng

month. with his sufferings little abated. In
April there another severe attack. and

had been confined almost continuously to his
bed. and his strength had been slowly but sure
ly leaving him. The pain from his swollen
limbs was so intense to bring. toward the
last. temporary delirium, and to gain rest for
him DR.. Jung. of this city, and DR.. Osler, OF
Baltimore, his attending physicians, found II
necessary to administer opiates. though these
were given cautiously, in fear OF detriment to
his heart.
Lord Pauncefote and his family had expected
TO sail this month for England, going thence to
the German spas. where the Ambassador was to
take the mineral baths. In March reports came
from England that the Ambassador was about
to be relieved of his post here. and that Mr..
Lyttleton had been chosen his successor.
but these were promptly denied, and it was

wishes, and that the British Government pre-
ferred that he should not quit the post where he
had rendered such splendid service

Lord Pauncefote's death to trust himself to any

from his own experience, he regarded Lord
Pauncefote as perhaps the one of all English
men who knew Americans the best, and in his
opinion no foreign representative consistent
with his duty to his country could have
been a better friend OF the United States. In all
