The Husband Tells His Story In Court
moon, Separation and Sickness.

NEW YORK. Feb. ia local paper says: The
affair at Cannes yesterday, which involves the
reputation of Mrs. Florence Deacon, is terrible
and unexpected blow to her friends and family
in this city. Mrs. Deacon attracted some atten-
ton few years since by declining to be pre-
scented to the Prince of Wales. out OF regard for
her reputation. The style of living of these
young people swallowed up fortune after
fortune.
CANNES, Feb Io-The shooting OF Abeille by
Deacon, the American, who discovered French
man carrying on a liason with Mrs. Deacon, con-
tinues to be the absorbing topic of interest here
Mr.. Deacon was today examined by magis-
trate. He gave very succinct ac'
count of the incidents that led up
to the killing of Abeille. His
story, though it does not agree in all its details
with the published accounts OF the affair, con-
firms in a measure the first telegraphed reports
of the shooting. Deacon asked the magistrate
to admit him TO bail. The magistrate declined
to do so at once. but promised to consider the
application. Mrs. Deacon was then examined
She told story which confirmed that OF her
husband.
Deacon further stated TO the magistrate that
his wife had most extravagant tastes, and
lately she had spent fabulous sums on her
toilet. This extravaganza led to quarrels. His
conjugal life, he said, had been unhappy for a
long time. He was very sorry for what he had
done, but the thing had gone on too long, and
could only end badly.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 19-Mrs Deacon, whose
husband shot Frenchman at Cannes for atteu-
tons to his wife, was well known in San Fran
cisco, where she lived about fifteen years ago, as
Myra Baldwin, daughter of the late Rear Ad-
miral Baldwin. She attended the girls High

OLGA, San Juan County. Feb. 1s.-[speciall +
IL Is TWO months ago since the PosT-INTELLI-
GENcER published the account OF the discovery
OF large ledge of gold and silver bearin. ore
on Mount Constitution, on Oreas island. Since
tnen great many prospectors have been work
ing indefatigably and the result has been that
half dozen or more new lodges have been
located on the same island and one very promis-
ing one on Blakeley island. Every man who
lives near Mount Constitution and especially
those in the vicinity of the town of Olga can
poets aud lodges, and each inhabitant carries
half a bushsl-more or Lesson his person aud
displays it eagerly to everyone he meets.
There seems to be little doubt that both gold
and silver exist in paying quantities on Orcas
island. 1t has been repeatedly found in alluyial
deposits here and all biologists with whom the
writer has talked unite In agreeing that the
geological formation is the one that experience
elsewhere has demonstrated to be gold and sill
yer bearing None OF the properties have been
sufficiently developed as yet to enable tho
miners to determine the value of the ore at any
distance below the surface. The assays of out
groupings SO far have assayed from s. so to 81
per ton. 1t 10 said that company with plenty
OF capital is now being organized to work
Chrystie's ledge, which is seemingly the mcst
promising Experts say that the probable value
OF these lodges will be greatly enhanced by the
fact that they are, almost without exception, in
such positions that the ore can be quarried out
as easily aud inexpensivey as the rock from a
limestone cliff 1t will be remembered that
some of the most profitable mines in the world
notably the Treadwell-are low grade ore, car
rying not more than . to the ton and are solely
valuable because of this facility in getting out
and handling the ore.

Kawaiians Favor Annexation,

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ID. l. Anderson. a
newspaper correspondent, returned yesterday
from trip 10 Honolulu, and, in an interview
touching political topics in that country, said ::
Before visited the island had heard many
contradictory reports concerning the de-
sire OF Hawaiians for annexation 10 the
United States. During my soisurn at Honolulu
l conyersed with many white residents, and
found general eoncensus of opinion upon the
subject. The almost universal reply to my in
terrogation was: Eyes, we are in favor
present queen is at an end, but
we do not desire to change while she lives" The
popular impression Ia that Queen Lilioukalani
will be the last sovereign OF the islands and
that when she dies political union will be
effected with this country, or else the United
States will be asked to extend a protectorate
over the Hawaiian group. Those who held these
views were more frequently Englishmen, Port
uguese and Germans, rather than Americans.

Going to Nominate blaine, Anyhow.

WAsHIS6ToS CITY, Feb 19.-tSpeciaL I-Sena-
tor Pettigrew had q long interview yesterday
with Secretary Blaine at his residence on La
taye;te square The senator admitted today
that the chief topic under discussion was the
presidency, and that it discussed from
every point by the secretary and himself Mr.
Pettigsew, however, refuses TO make public any
OF the views expressed by Blaine, declaring
that it would be an injustice for
him TO do so, because his tax with MI
Blaine was purely private. Mr.. Pettigrew said
that the sccretarys health was notably improv-
ing every day, and ne believed that if an all
wise Providence should bring him TO the front
as the most available candidate for the presi-
dency Lcfore tho Minneapolis convention, he
would te aDle to conduct the Campaign in an
energetic manner. During the last two or three
days the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES correspondent
has secured the views Of different public men
relative TO the Republican presidential nomina-
ton, and all this information indicates that if
MI Blaine should be rendered the nomination at
Minneapolis the chances are that be would
accept. No one, however. questions the fact
that his letter was written in good faith He is
not a candidate for the presidency II the
nomination was given him without effort on
his part, his millions of admirers throughout
the country need not be surprised ii he accepts
the honor. There are many politicians who
Row maintain that ii Harrison does no. get the
nomination 81 thefrst formal ballot at the con-
veaiion the tide will turn TO Blaine. and the up-
rising will be SO great that his nomination is a
certainty.

George w. Hummer, manager, and o. o.
Denny, director, OF the Puget Sound Fire Clay
Company, have returned from an Eastern trip,
which was made Tor the purpose of buying
additional machinery for the company's plant
at Van ASSET. Mr.. Hummer said to q Posi-

We bought complete fire brick and general
firing plant, the capacity of the former being
$1,000 day. The new machinery will include
power re-press machine and machinery for

brick districts of Ohio Indiana, Illinois, North
ern Kentucky and Western Pennsylvania, and
saw the machinery in operation. We have Sc
United States. While We made our
purchases in the East, they were all
made through Seattle firms representing
the manufacturers and we only went East TO
see that the machinery does what it was repre-
sented to do. This machinery will probably be
in operation in month. The principal part of
it is probably on the way out here now.
We have already put in a roek-crusher, an ad-
ditionai engine, an electric plant and extensive
drying facilities, all of which were bought here
and put in by seattle men. We have made no
changes in the sewer pipe plant, simply because
it is already equal to any in the country. Our
clays were inspected and analysed in the Eat
and pronounced equal to any in the country.
Business in the East is in healthy condition
The factories are all running with good orders
ahead and money is more plentiful. Some
time asT they were comR,ai In1i OF dull t times
are now booming, and the wave OF good times is
working West.
We had peculiar experience at the Manitoba
house, at Winnipeg When was pushing the
button for the elevator l touched the brass
around 1t and received an electric shock which
burned my fingers. When Mr. Denny turned on
the light. he got shock. When two men stand

through them. A lady felt 1t in combng her
hair. and Que man said that when he touched
the footboard of the bed blue flame shout out

may have been caused by the extreme cold, the
thermometer being 81 degrees below zero, but
the whole house was full OF electricity.

To Appropriate American Lake.

TACOMA, Feb. 19.-[Special. Fremont Camp
bell, Judge of the superior court, today filed
with the county auditor notice of the appropria-
ton OF American lake under the law OF 1891,
providing for the appropriation of water for rri-
eating and manufacturing purposes Campbell
saws he wants American lake for irrigating and
mechanical purposes. His action was prompted
by the decision OF the supreme court in refus-
ing the Tacoma Light and Water Company the
right to draw the city water supply from tho
lake, the residents having objected. 1t is
thought that Campbell will fail to secure the
right to appropriate the lake.
