NEw YoRE, Feb. 10.-Tho affair at
Cannes yesterday which involves tho
reputation OF Mrs. Florence Deacon, Is
terrible and unexpected blow to her
friends and family in this city. Flor
ence Baldwin, the daughter Of tho late
Admiral Baldwin and tho cousin Of
Eugene Higgins, tho young millionaire,
was married to Edward Parker Deacon,
tho son of Commodore Deacon, about
twelve years ago.
Mrs. Deacon was thcn very young,
and for somo time and for various rca-
sons connected not only with tho youth
of his daughter, Admiral Baldwin hosi-
tatedto give his consent to the marriage,
but he presently yielded, and it was
brilliantly celebrated. Mrs. Deacon
was then beautiful woman, n blonde,
with slight willowy figure, fine COM
plexion and largo expressive eyes.
Mrs. Deacon attracted some attention
@ few years since by declining to be pre-
sented to the Prince OF Wales, out OF
regard for her reputation.
The style OF living Of these young
people swallowed up fortune after for

lr. Deacon Tells tho Story of the Killing
to tho Magistrate.
CANNES, Fob. 19-Tho shooting OF NJ.
Abeillo by Mr.. Deacon, the. American
gentleman who discovered that tho
Fronchman was carrying on liaison
with Mrs. Deacon, continues to be the
absorbing topic OF conversation among
tho large American colony here, and
though there arc many expressions OF
regret that Mrs. Deacon should have
brought such disgrace upon herself and
her family, the conccnsus OF opinion is
that Mr.. Deacon is deserving OF all SYM
pathy.
Mr.. Deacon, who surrendered to the
police Immediately after the shooting,
was to-day examined by the magistrate
in charge OF the case. Mr.. Deacon was
calm and collected, and gave very sue
cinct account OF tho incidents that led
up to the killing OF Abcille. Mr.. Deacon
asked tho magistrate to admit him to
bail. Tho magistrate declined to do SO
ut once, but promised to consider the
application. In the meantime Mr..
Deacon would have to remain in prison.
Mr.. Deacon stated that his wife had
the most extrnvagant tastes and that
lately sho had spent fabulous sums on
her toilet. This extravaganza had led
( to quarrels between him and his wife.
His conjugal life, he said, had been un-
happy ior long time. He was very
sorry for what he had done, but tho
thing had gone on too long and could
only end badly.

LONDON, Fob. 10.-It is freel ly stated
that tho Irish FREQ local bill as present.
cd in tho house OF commons last even,
ing is tho result Of many stormy meet
ings OF tho cabinet and that Mr.. Dalfour
was moro than once overruled. Even
the Standard admits this by saying that
tho bill is, tho result OF compromise
and that its deception as in the case Of
all compromises, has not been as
satisfactory as its promoters could de-
sire. While its reception last evening
by the opposition and to-day by tho
press was tho most hostile ever given to
bill, yet there arc now signs
OF a reaction setting in. The
bill, in brief, gives rate payers
in Irish counties and baronies
full power to manage their own affairs.
The franchise is tho same as it exists in
England. Tho Irish counties in some
respects are given moro extensive func-
tions than those possessed by the SINH
lar bodies in Great Britain, and while
England is waiting for district councils
Ireland is offered councils Immediately.
Tho thin ice over which the govern
ment is skating was indicated by vote
in tho house of commons tonight, when
resolution expressing regret at tho
appointment Of Welsh judge ignorant
OF the Welsh language was rejected by
a majority OF only 2S. a

THE MONTAGUE TRAGEDY.
The excitement over the Montagu
tragedy is increasing. The husband OF
Mrs. Montagu is grandson OF the Duko
of Manchester and u former officer in
tho navy. Mrs. Montagu, who is OF
Scotch extraction, is the daughter OF
wealthy London tea merchant. She is
noted for her daring horsemanship in
Ireland. Being asked to-day how it was
that such severe punishment was ad-A
ministered to three-year-old child, Mr..
Montagu said: &!.
"N[y wifo has strong opinions in tho
training and correction OF children.
Her theory, which l think is to cer-.
tain extent right, is that tho spirit of
disobedience must be conquered from
the earliest years." y
Ho admitted that it was too long to
leave the child alono, but his wiio lad
SO much to do and sho was out part of
the time the child was confined. The
child was buried in great privacy on
Tuesday morning.

i'll regard to the sLriko OF tho machinists

There is reason to believe from tho
actions OF tho strikers hero that the

on tho whole system. This, however,
is contingent upon tho vote Of the ex-
ecutive board.

PARKER, Pa, Fob. 19.-Thc leo gorge
here is still firm, though tho continued
rain all day softcned it considerably.
Just when tho break will come cannot
be told, but unless the weather becomes
colder it will be very soon. Tho only
fear is that the gorge in tho Clarion
river, which empties into the Allegheny
river a mile above hcre, will break and
start down before the ice below has
loosened. Ii this happens there will be
great jam at tho bridge, throwing the
water over tho bank and into the busi-
ness portion OF the town.
To cope with such an emergency, the
citizens, at the meeting today, decided
to order one thousand pounds OF dyna-
mite which will arrive here in the morn
ing. Should tho crush at the bridge oc-
cur an effort will be made to scatter it
with the explosive. A break is looked
for before tomorrow evening.

Act Ton Yonrs Is Passed.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1o.-Owing
to the fact tho congressional excursion
to Chicago was to start On early hour in
the afternoon tho attendance OF senators
at tho opening OF the proceedings in
tho senate to-day was very small.
On motion Of Mr.. Morrill,, it was re-
solved that when tho senate adjourn to-
day it will be to meet next Tuesday.
On motion OF Mr.. Dolph the bill to
continue in force for ten years all exist
ing laws prohibiting and regulating the
coming into this country OF Chinese
persons, was taken from tho calendar
and passed after q short discussion.
The bill is substitute for similar
measure introduced by Senator Dolph.
The bill has wider scope than is indi-
Gated BY its title, for in addition to re-
cnacting the present exclusion laws,
which are about to lapse, it contains 4
section intended to meet the difficulty
the treasury officials have encountered
in returning Chinese to China, through
treasury decisions adverse to their
rights to return them further than to
the country from which they entered
the United States. The treasury re-
turned a number TO Canada and they
were soon smugsled across tho line,
which it was impossible to guard at all
times and places. Another now Sec
ton provides severe penalties for the
return to the United States Of Chinese
once sent out OF the country.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

How Dc Frcyclnot Allowed His Temper to
outwit His Discretion.
PARIS, Feb. l9.-It is supposed that
NJ. De Freycinet had not intended yes
torday to press the consideration OF the
associations bill which was designed to
intimidate the bishops and please the
radicals. NJ. Hubbard's demand for
urgency to rush tho bill through tho
chamber without q second reading
placed tho premier in a dilemma. His
acceptance OF the motion would DO
tantamount to direct attack on tho
church, and would therefore ensure the
hostility OF tho members OF the right,
while refusal of urgency would convict
tho government OF insincerlty. NJ. Do
Freycincet tried to equiyocatc.
NJ. Clemenceau demanded that he
drop his political subtleties and state
plainly whether he was for or against
tho separation OF church and state.
NJ. De Freycinot then petulantly de-
manded q vote OF confidence, being con-
scious that tho lilo OF tho. cabinet de-
pended on coalition OF tho moderatcs
with either tho radicals, or the members
OF tho right. 81
All tho members OF tho cabinet met
at tho Office OF the minister OF war this
afternoon, and discussed tho situation
for an hour and hall. They finally
decided to go to the Elysee Palace and
tender collective resignation to Presi-
dent Carnot.
In accordance with tho programme
decided on the ministers called on Prosi-
dent Carnot and rendered him their
joint resignation, which was accepted.
President Carnot strongly urged the
ministery 10 reconsider, but NJ. de Frcy-
clnet insisted upon rcsigning SAYING io
and his colleagues had decided that thoy
could not remain in power after the
action taken yesterday by the chamber.
Several generals to-day called on NJ.
Dc Freycinet, who served us war min
lister, as well as premier, and strongly
appealed to him not to resign, saving
that he would be great loss to the
army. NJ. Dc Froycinet however, re-
mained obduratc. '1

solution of Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. 19-In calling upon Mr..
Balfour to present 'his bill yesterday,
the speaker, bya slip OF the tongue,
spoke OF him as "chiei secretary for Ire
land" and before he was able to correct
himself, Mr.. Baliour was up. With his
scanty otes, Mr.. Balfour in tho first Is
minutes seemed to be embarrassed by
the multiplicity OF detail OF the meas
ure. Thereafter, however, he spoke
with lucidity, which Mr.. Morley later
in tho debate accorded generous tri-
butte. BY tho time Mr.. Balfour reached
the clause empowering judges to try
and dissolve guilty council, the oppo-
sition burst into storm OF derisiye
cheors, which grew in intensity as tho
speech proceeded. In the lobby tho
talk was exclusively on tho question
whether or not the bill would preci-
pitate the dissolution OF parliament.
