The improvement which had peen noted | in his condition during the past wee.k re- | ceived a sudden check about 6 o'clock| last evening, when it was noticed that he was experiencing difficulty in breath- ing. Dr. Jung, his ph¥sician, was imme- a sent for, and he decided upon a| consultation with a local physician, in| the meantime telegraphing for Dr. Osler | of Baltimore. In _his stead came Dr. Thayer of Johns Hopkins University, ar- | riving about 2 o'clock this morning. | The patient's pulse was still good, and | when Dr. Thayer left the embassy at 3, o'clock. for Baitimore the Embassador | was resting so comfortably that a cable-; gram was sent to his son-in-iaw, Broa- ley, in London, that there was no im- mediate danger. Soon after ¢ o'clock a distinct weakness | of the heart developed and his pulse be: gan to collapse. He died so peacefully | that it surprised even his physician, who feared that the asthmatic affection would | prove troublesome when the end came. | At the bedside when the distingulshed | diplomat passed away were Lady Paunce- fote, the Ho: Maude Pauncefote, Sybil and Miss Audrey Pouncefote, Jung and Cierk Radford af the embassy. | FLAGS AT HALW-MAST. As soon as it became generally known | was dead flags were half-masted over the different em- bassies 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. { Secretary Hay after a conference with | the President proceeded directly to the | British embagsy, where he made a formal | call of condolence as the personal repre- | sentative of the President. Then return- | ing to the State Department Hay dis- patched the following cablegram: “DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASH- INGTON, May 24.—The Marquis of Lans- downe, London: Permit me to express my deep sympathy and sorrow at the| death of Lord Pauncefote. His Majesty’s | Government has lost an able and faithful | servant and this country a valued friend. “JOHN HAY.” Having_ dispatched his mesage the Sec- retary of State proceeded to attend the ceremonies connected with the dedication of the Rochambeau statue. At first there seemed to be an incongruity in this, but it appeared that an act of Congress re quired the statue to be unveiled on this date, and although there was every dis- position in official circles and on the part of the French embassy to defer the cer- emonies until another day in_deference to the memory of the deceased, vet they felt bound to carry forward the pro- gramme. PRESIDENT AT EMBASSY. President Roosevelt droye to the Brit- ish embassy as soon as he had become disengaged from the ceremonies attend- ing the Rochambeau exercises. He was received in the drawing-room by the First Secretary of the Embassy, Raikes, who now becomes British Charge d’Affaires and by some of the ladies of the house- hold. The President expressed his deep sense of bereavement at the death of the Embassador, not only in behalf of the Government, but alsc for the people of the country, to whom Lord Pauncefote had become endeared in many ways. Sec- retary Hay and the other members of the Cabinet also called at the embassy, leav- ing their cards and expressing their con- dolences. The foreign Embassadors and Ministers also left their cards. Mr. Raikes, the Secretary and Charge of the British embassy, called upon As- sistant Secretary Hill to advise with him respecting the funeral crrangements and finally these were entrusted to Hill in their officlal features. A tentative ar- rangement has been made, which must be approved by Lady Pauncefote before being put Into execution. In brief, this provides that the remains of the late Bm- bassador shall be taken from the embassy at :1:4%5 next Wednesday to.St. John's Episcopal Church, where he worshiped. The honorary pall-bearers will consist of the five Embagsadors in Washington, Dr. von Holleben, M. Cambon, Count Cassini, Senor Aspiroz and Signor Desplanches, Secretary Hay, Senator Frye, president pro tem. of the Senate, and Speaker Hen- derson of the House of Representatives. After the church services, the remains will be conveyed to Rock Creek Cemetery, escorted by a military procession, the de- tails of which have not yet been arrang- ed, and at the cemetery they will be placed in a temporary receiving vault. At first it was suggested that the re- mains be permanently interred here, but the wishes of the family of the deceased were otherwise, and it Is the present in- tention to have them conveyed to Eng- jand. It will be determined before that time whether or not a United States lwxr;hip will carry the remains to Eng- CAREER OF THE DIPLOMAT.

In May, 1865, he Wwas appointed Attorney General of Hong- kong and in 1869, and again in 1872, acted as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He received the thanks of the executive and legislative councils of Hongkong for his services to the colony and was knight- ed in recognition thereof in 1874 by letters patent. In 1578 he was appointed Chief Justice of the Leeward Islands, and in 1874 Legal As- sistant Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies. In 1876 he was made Assistant (Legal) Under-Secretary of State for For- eign Affairs. In 1880 he was created Companion of the Bath, also K. C. M. G., and in 1882 suc- ceeded Lord Tenterden as Under-Secre- tary of State for Foreign Affairs. In 1855 he received the Grand Cross of the Order ot)s:. Michael and St. George (G. C,’ M. G.). In 1888 on the recall, by request of the United States Government, of Lord Sack- ville-West, Sir Julian Pauncefote succeed- ed him as the British Minister at Wash- ington, which position he continued to fill until his death with an abllity second to | none of his predecessors since Lord Lyon's tenure during the days of our | Civil War. In 1892, in recognition of his eminent ser- vices, he was given the Grand Cross of the Bath, and In 1393 was raised to the rank of Bmbassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States. On November 21, 184, during a { visit_ home he was sworn as a member of the Privy Counecll. In 1899 he was one of the delegates from 'onference held at The Hague. In August of this year Sir Jullan was elevated to the peer- e. Coming to Washington when he did, on the heels of the egregious ‘‘faux pas” of Lord Sackville-West, rd Paunce- fote so conducted himself and the busi- ness of his office as to gain the great re- spect of our own Government and the en- larged confidence of his own, especially that of the Premier, Lord Salis- bury. Many delicate pieces of diplo- matic negotiation with this Gov- ernment were handled by him, notably the Bering Sea Commission, the Alzskan-Canadian boundary convention, the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbitra- tion and the recent Nicaragua canal treaty. Of his finesse and ability in these insiances, and, in fact, in most others, hig own Government most certainly could find little fault. .

DEGLARES HANNA MADE A BARGA sions Concerning In- dian Schools.: Sensational Utterances Before Baptist Home Mission- ary Society. ST. PAUL, Minn., May 24—“Archbishop Ireland wields a tremendous power in Ppolitics, which he is using for the Roman chureh,” declared Rev. T. J. Morgan, carresponding secretary of the Baptist Home Mission Society, at the opening ses- sion of that organization to-day. He was discussing the obstacles to mission work | in America and linked together “Roman- | ism, Mormonism, heathenism and Chris- ! tian Science as the greatest hindrances | to progress and the greatest menaces to! Christianity and the nation.” He stated: “T cannot prove it absolutely, but I am morally certain that in the last election, | *| Mark Hanna, representing the Republican | party, of which I am a member, formally agreed with Ireland, representing a mass of voters, that in consideration of turn- ing over these voters to the Republican | party the Roman church would be given concessions in Indian schools. And when issues arose thereafter and Indlan offi- clals were inclined to oppose the claims of the Romanists with regard to the In- dians they were told by higher authority that the bargain had been made and must | be carrled out.” | It was the most sensational utterance during the anniversaries of this week, and was made in the presentation of the re- port of the, exeeutive board.

Farmer Commits Two Crimes Befors Ending His Life With a Pistol. ARKANSAS CITY, Kans, May 24— Frank Wilson to-day shot and seriously | wounded his wife, killed Abner Canter and then committed sulcide. Wilson was jealous of Canter’s attentions to his wife. | All three had lived on a farm in the Ter- ritory gcross the line from here. Wilson | had threatened to kill his wife and they separated, the woman moving to Arkan- | sas City yesterday to the home of her mother, Mrs, Sarah Favorite. To-day, while Canter and Mrs. Wilson were at work in the yard, Wilson fired at Canter without warning, killing him irstantly, and.fired two shots at his wife, one bullet breaking her forearm and the second, striking her in the back and go- ing enbirely through the body. Then he shot himself in the mouth, dying imme- | diately. Wilson was a farmer and Can- | ter had worked for him as a teamster. | ‘Wilson was 28 years old, his wife 25 and | Canter was 30. Mo | Chorus Girls in a Flood | CHICAGO, May 24.—A thunderstorm of marked severity passed over Chicago to- night. The rainfall was one inch in a lit- tle less than forty minutés. In the sub- urbs- and parks many trees were blown down, nearly all the downtown theaters suffered greatly during the storm, thelr basements being flooded. At the Grand Opera-house the members of the chorus were caught in their rooms and were un- able to get out. Some of them were car- ried out by the stage hands, the men wading through two feet of water, At the Studebaker the basement was flooded so_that the chorus girls were com- elled to flee to the stage floor, and many fost portions of their wardrobes: All the downtown hotels were inconventenced by water in their basements. The Palmer House was compelled to shut down its electric_light plant and for twenty min- utes “the hotel was in darkness. The Weather Bureau announced that 1.10 inches of water had fallen in an hour. | —_— e i | From Buffalo to New York. i The shortest, and now the most elegantly | equipped, line is the Lackawanna Rallroad, which traverses the most beautiful scenery m«‘ Allegheny Mountains, afford.

The address of the Germans included the signature of Count von Stolberg and two well-known German artists, while the professor of German at Trinity Col- lege, Dublin, acted as chairman. One of the members of the delegatipn is quoted as saying: s i “One would naturally have expected that as in New York, one of the first thoughts of the Prince and his captains would have been to shake hands with countryment domiciled in Ireland.” The, Irish Times, the Government or- gan, expresses the hope that some satis- factory explanation will be forthcoming for “on the face of it, the Prince’s treat- ment of his fellow-countrymen compares very unfavorably with the almost undig- rified affability he displayed during his visit to the United States.” To the East in a Tourist Sleeper.

She will cai more troops from Colon to Bocas del Toro. The Colombian Government received yesterday_information that the insurgent enerals Uribe-Uribe and Focion Soto ad arrived at Port of Spain, Trinidad, thus escaping the pursuit of the Govern- ment forces commanded by General Pom- pillo Gutierrez. A dispatéh from the Colombian Consul at Port of Spain con- firms this report.

LONDON, May 24.—A wealthy woman named Silva recently died at Lisbon and left her entire property to a rooster. She was a fervid spiritualist, a believer in the transmigration of souls and imagined that the soul of her dead husband had entered | the rooster. She caused a special fowl house to be built and ordered her servants to pay extra attention to their “master’'s wants. The disgust of her relatives over the will caused the story to become public, and a lawsuit might have followed had not one of the heirs adopted the simple ex- ent of having the wealthy roodter led, thus becoming himself the next of
