The French Premier Did Not Lose His
Head During the Row.

Head During the Row.
LONDON, Nov. 22.-The Times Paris
correspondent, in describing the scene
during the debate on the Panama canal
sensation yesterday in the French Cham
ber of Deputies. says that the wonder is
that NJ Floquet kept his head. Nothing
seemed TO exist except the invisible fu
ries Of the all but madden ID men. There
were lucid intervals, to be sure. but
there was a sense of bewilderment and
exhaustion for everybody concerned, like
that left upon people surprised by cy
clone. The afternoon wore on until duelS
were imminent when the deputies stop
ped from sheer exhaustion, then the
full irony OF the whole experience be-
came manifest and the furies scurried
away as they had arrived. and as the
chamber awoke from the nightmare q
general emotion seemed necessary. and
NJ. Deroulede did gracefully the only
possible thing to do, that Is, he proposed
10 vote on the success Of the French
General I'm DahOmey.
LONDON, Nov. 22.-The Standards
Paris correspondent says that the family
OF VI. de Lesseps keep him in utter igno-
rance Of the progress or affairs against
the Panama Canal Company, fearing
that the shock that would be entailed
upon him by the knowledge OF what the
government Is doing would have serious
consequences. His health Is good, but he
is so enfeebled that he Is Obliged to
seek assistance from his wife or chill
dren to move him from his chair 10 the
dining-table. II is supposed that under
these circumstances NJ. de Lesseps will
not be compelled to appear In court.
According 10 the News NJ. Ricard's
anxiety 10 prosecute the directors is said
to be due TO the fact that as mayor OF
Rouen he entertained de Lesseps roy
ally. and was instrumental in having
many shares subscribed for in Nor
mandy He Is, therefore, desirous OF
showing that he acted in good faith.
Much speculation exists concerning the
death of Baron Reinach.
A dispatch TO the News says that when
Delahaye mentioned the "eVil genius OF
the Panama Company" 1t was supposed
he referred 10 Baron Reinach whose
death startled the world OF politicians
with whom his relations. personal, direct
or indirect, were extensive. He was the
head centre OF q sort OF syndicate Of
press and parliamentary wire pulers for
the Parama Canal Company, who are
down In the schedule as having eaten up
I'm one set OF affairs nearly eighty mill
lion francs. and In another set a sum
not much smaller The general opinion
Is that the Baron committed suicide ow-
ing 10 the theft of papers that showed
that he was compromised in the Panama
scandal.
The Figaro, OF Paris. says. however.
that he was full-blooded, had short
neck, and was likely subject for apo
plexy.

MRS. DEACON GINS A POINT.
Her Child to BE Kept In French Con
vent Charges Against Her Husband.

PARIS. Nov. 22-The first chamber of
the court Of appeals to-day handed down
it's decision in the Deacon case. Judg-
ment was given for Mrs. Deacon. and It
was ordered that the child Gladys be
returned to a convent. where both Mr..
and Mrs. Deacon shall be allowed 10
visit her. Mr.. Deacon was ordered to
pay costs.
MIR. Deacon stated to-day that the
latest offer made 10 him by his Wite'S
lawyers was that she would not oppose
an application by him to the court or
AK for an absolute divorce; that she
would surrender all the children TO him
and also at once drop the name OF Dea-
con. Mr.. Deacon says he would gladly
accept a compromise in order TO spare
his wife the ignominy Of standing In
the dock al AK and would allow her to
keep the babe as long as she led moral
life. but he doubts whether she would
keep her word Possibly an arrangement
will be effected before December Sth,
when the case opens at AK.
Mrs. DeacOns brother has written
letter TO the press, stating that under
the advice of her lawyers his sister has
never since the beginning of the UNI
happy affair said anything TO either the
American or French press. Mr.. Deacon,
on the contrary, has never ceased re-
ceiving reporters, and has paid certain
journals to publish garbled accounts or
the affair. He has also succeeded In
closing the papers against his wife and
her friends. Her silence and his un-
scrupulous loquacity have blackened her
character on both sides of the Atlantic.
Her brother adds: Hence l speak for
the first time. If l were 10 relate the
cases Of his cruelty TO my sister his
drunken acts, his insults TO her friends
and his conduct toward her four little
girls, / would require columns My fam
lily have persuaded her TO bear all rather
than make public her domestic troubles.
Mr. Deacon is convinced that she Will de-
mand a divorce sooner or later and he
is determined 10 prevent her from get
ting one in her favor. Herein lies the
real cause Of the shooting of Abeille,
Deacon wishing 10 fix upon his wife the
stigma OF adultery A few days before
the tragedy Mr. Deacon opened a drawer
I'm his wfe's desk and destroyed all the
letters he wrote 10 her from America
that were likely to hurt his cause. care
fully leaving those Of friendly nature.
He is now bent upon doing all he can
to destroy her
The charges made against MIR. Deacon
are denied by his friends.
