o'clock for Baltimore the ambassador
was resting so comfortably that a
cablegram was sent to his son-in-law,
Mr.. Bromley, in London, that there
was no immediate danger.
Soon after three o'clock distinct
weakness of the heart developed and
his pulse began to collapse. He died
so peacefully that it surprised even
his physicians, who feared that the
asthmatic affection would prove trou-
blesome when the end came.
At the bedside when the distin-
guished diplomat passed away were
Mrs. Pauncefote, Hon. Maude Paunce-
fote, Miss Sibyl and Miss Audrey, DR..
Jung and Mr.. Radford, one of the
clerks attached to the embassy.

announced that the president would
call at the British embassy imme-
diately after the unwilling ceremon-
les to offer his personal condolences
and ascertain the wishes of Lord
Pauncefote's family in regard to fur

mediately after the unwilling cere-
monies the flag on the white house
was placed at half-mast.
