MRS. PORTER pIEs IN PARIe.

End Sudden and Unexpected - Ex-
DressiOnH of Esteem and Regret.
PARIS, April 7.--Mrs. Horace Porter,
wife OF General Porter the United
States ambassador here, died suddenly
at o'clock yesterday afternoon of con-
gestion of the lungs following chill.
Mrs Porter had not been in robust
health for some time and decided to
make stay in Zurich, Switzerland, for
rest and to recuperate. She returned to
Paris last Tuesday considerably i'm
proved, though retaining lingering
symptoms of the prevailing epidemic
of grip, but the doctors did not consider
her condition serious. A sudden change
for the worse was observed at A o'clock
in the afternoon, and it became mani
fest that the congestion had attacked
her lungs. Mrs. Porter sank rapidly
until she expired an hour later.
The various absent members of the
family were notified by telegraph and
cable. The only daughter, Elsie, was
in Germany, whittier she had also gone
on trip for the benefit of her health,
and the generals only son, Clarence
Porter, who is in New York, was adj
vised by cable. Word was also COM
municated to the American govern
ment and to the French authorities.
The public announcement was made by
Secretary vignaux in brief statement
of the facts.
Mrs. Porter was member of DR..
Thurber's Presbyterian church In the
Rue de Berri, which is known as the
American church and where the fu-
neral ceremonies will probably be held.
