Volcano in New Mexico.

Denver, May 26-A News dispatch
from Albuquerque says;
The fact is not generally known that
less than twenty miles from the town

smoke arises. For hundreds of miles

New York, May 25.-The Presbyter
ian General Assembly adopted the re
port of the standing committee OF
church erection. The report opens by
saying that forty-iive per cent. of nj
churches established, sooner or later
cease to exist, but that this is no rea

ones. The report commends the wore

the year.
The board commenced the year with

DEATH OF LORD PAuNcEFoTE.
Distinguished British Ambassador
Dies of Asthma and rheumatism.

Washington. May 25.-Lord Paunce-
fote, British ambassador to the United
States. died at the embassy yesterday
morning at 5:35 o'clock.
At his bedside when the distin-
guished diplomat passed away were
Mrs Pauncefote the Honorable Maude
Pauncefote, Miss Sibyl and Miss Aud
rey, DIR. 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 halfmasted over the diff
ferent embassies and legations. At the
Arlington hotel, where the visiting
Frenchmen who have come to witness
the Rochambeau statue unveilinG are
stopping, the French flag was placed at
half mast
All through the past winter Lord
Pauncefote had been sufferer from
Intermittent attacks of asthma and
rheumatic gout, but he bravely kept
on his feet as much as possible, went TO
the State Department regularly on DIP
lomatic days and generally strove to
keep up his active duties, though it was
evident that the effort it caused him
was great In the early part of March,
the ambassador Went to North Carolina
ON visit TO George Vanderbilt at Bit
more and stayed there for about fort
night in the hope of recuperating from
his affliction in the Carolina pines. he
returned TO Washington about the mid
die of the month with his sufferings
but little abated. In April there came
another severe attack and from that
time until his death the ambassador
had been confined almost continuously
to his bed, and his strength had been
slowly but surely leaving him.
The office of dean of the diplomatic
corps nt Washington now devolves
upon Dr. Won Holleben. the German
ambassador. and upon him will fall the
duty of directing the diplomatic body's
action on this occasion. The entire dip
