DEACON REFUSES RELEASE.

French Authorities Anxious to Prevent
His Prosecuting Divorce suit The In
hux of Foreigners smaller Than in
Former Years.
lBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal
LONDON, Aug. lit is stated that
Edward Parker Deacon was offered re-
lease from prison on condition that be
would leave France forthwith, never to
return. Mr.. Deacon wrote to the pre-
feet of Nice, refusing to ac cept the offer
The French authorities are much disap-
pointed at the refusal, as their ob ject
has been to prevent, ifpossible, the trial
of Deacon's suit gainst his wife for
divorce, and the exp osure to the world
Of the additional evidence going to show
her guilty Of misconduct with NJ.
Abeille
They would like to expel Deacon from
the country after his term of imprison-
ment, but as they have no ground for
such an action, it is feared that it might
call forth remonstrance on the part of
the American legation. Therefore the
attempt was made to induce Deacon
himself to go as condition Of being
liberated.
The Abeille family and their influential
connections are busily engaged in endea-
voring to prevent Deacon from having
any further opportunity to air his
grievances, and have, it is said, sue
ceeded in completely gaining over
the highest authorities of the re
public on their side. On the other
hand the sympathy of foreigners, both
in Paris, Nice, and elsewhere, is strongly
with Deacon.
1t is said that there is class OF
Frenchmen of the same character as
Abeille, who are continually annoying
the wives and daughters Of foreigners, tC
whom they contrive to obtain an intro
duction and that the Deacon case has
been salutary lesson for this class OF
people 1t is claimed by Deacon's friends
that one principal reason why so much
severity is shown towards him is that
men like Abeille are so comparatively
numerous in France that. in Furnishing
Deacon, they are protecting themselves
/ by giving notice to foreigners that
| Frenchmen who insult or mislead theil
wives and daughters must not be inter
fered with, and especially must not b'
\ killed.
Between the Deacon case and 'th'
cholera the foreign influx to Franch j;
not as large as in ordinary years, and
there is more of a tendency to Switzer
