Lord pauncefOte Dead

Washington, May 24th. - Lord
Pauncefote, the British Ambassa
dor, died this morning at 3. 80
o'clock. About o'clock this morn j.
ing he developed a very weakened
heart condition and a consultation
OF his physicians was called.
They were unable to rally him
and he died peacefully, not having
regained consciousness from the
sleep he fell into during the night.
His family and part of the Embassy
staff We're at his bedside when death
came.
He has been in i'll health for more
than a year, but for only two
months has his condition been con-
sidered serious. The primary all
ment was govt, which later became
complicated with stomach and liver
troubles. His age, "A years, was
against his recovery; also the fact
that he worried over the affairs of
his office after he was physically
unable to attend to them.
A coincidence in connection with
Lord Pauncefote is that it occurred
on the anniversary of the birth of
Queen Victoria.
