FIGHTING FOR HER CHILD.
Mrs. DeaeOR's Contest in the French
Courts.
The Case Reviewed in iii Its PHASES ty the CouH.
sci for The CenieRding
Parties.
Special to THE MoRNrxe CALL.

PARIS. Nov. 16.-The appeal of Mrs Dea-
con from the decision of he Tribunal Of the
Seine, declaring she had no right to apply
for divorce from her husband, and award
ing the custody of the children to Deacon,
came up to-day in the First Chamber of the
Court Of Appeal. Deacon was present.
Mrs. Deacon was not. Barbour, for Mrs
Deacon. charged that Deacon was man of
violent temper and neglected his wife. He
declared that for two years Deacon stu
diOusly ignored his wite's liaisOn withAbeille
and refused to apply for a divorce because
Mrs. Deacon paid the household expenses.
Deacon had consented that Mrs. Deacon
should have two of the children. Deaeon's
present demand for the daughter was due
simply TO desire for vengeance and hatred
OF his wife. Barbour claimed that Mrs.
Deacon was Justified in seQuestrating her
children until the appeal was decided. She
had taken the girl from the convent TO pre-
vent her husband sending her TO America.
Continuing, 8arboux declared the attitude
of Mrs. Deacon after the tragedy was conf
parable with Mary Magdalene who suppl
Gated for sympathy. He asked he court to
place the child in convent and to allow
Mrs. Deacon TO visit heT weekly.
When BarbOux concluded, Clunal, who
appeared for Deacon, traced the history of
Mrs, Deacon'S liaisnn with Abeile from the
beginning to the time Abeiie was shot by
Deacon. He denied Mr. Deacon misused
his wife and said the statements that he
was man of Violent temper were untrue.
Mrs Deacon was a woman Of pleasure. Her
intrigue with Abeille was not a sudden
weakness. Mrs. Deacon admitted this.
When she left Paris for Cannes she stopped
at Hotel NoaliIes in Marseilles, and there
Abellle joined her under an assumed name.
Clunal concluded his speech by declaring
that woman who had behaved as Mrs.
Deacon had was not ft tn have the custody
of a child. The court then adjourned.

Special to TIE MonSrNe CALI.

WAsHISGToS, Nov. Superintendent
Of the Census Porter to-day discharged
Ivan Petron. the special agent for Alaska,
who il is stated gave false information In
his reports Of Alaska for the State Depart
ment in the Bering Sea cases. Secretary
Noble has approved of Porter's action. The
latter in his letter to the Secretary stated
that the complete history of Peiroff's action
precluded the suDposiion that Petroff was
suffering from insanity. Professor james
II. Biodgett of the Census Office has been
placed in charge OF the Alaska work, and
after verifying it in every particular will
superintend It's final publication.
Petroff is evidently in seclu.iou. He has
not been seen about his usual haunts since
the publication Of the report. 1t was given
out at the Census Office on Monday thlt
while Mr.. Petroff was still on their rolls,
yet he has not for some time past been
drawing pay from that branch Of the Gov
ernment, and that ne had not been in this
city for some time. He was at his residence
compiling statistics on special subjects. A
call there brought the Information that
Petroff was IN Washington. Mr.. Wardeil,
assistant chief clerk Of the Census Office,
said that Petroff had not been at his desk,
and he was positive that he was in Balti-
more. As matter of fact package from
him sent from Baltimore was receipted for

Republicans Talk Of Abandoning the
Mckinley Tariff Bill.
MODERATION is WISE IN ALL THINGS.
The Party to Be ReOrganized With the Force Bill
Abandoned ard Only the Principle Of
Protection Fought For.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-PresIdent Harri-
son is doing no talking through the press,
but he takes a deep interest and an active
part in the consideration OF the future plans
of the Republican party. He has been re-
ceiviDg calls from men more or less promi-
Dent in the party ever since the election,
and his talks with them have tended to
encourage them TO activity in the work of
Organ;z ne and Strengthening the party.
There has been No dependency in what he
has said, and he wastes no time in vain re-
gret. but is earnest in feeling that more
than ever there is need for cOmpactness
and unity Of purpose in the party. 1t is
evidently his feeling that tile party should
show no weakening IN the presence OF de-
feat, and should lose as little time as posi-
bic in strengthening the party organization.
The discussion of reorganization is in
sense not of change IN principle or IN
policy, but one of peTtectng management
aud method, and has already been taken
up seriously by leading Republicans, and
cores spondence looking TO the strengthening
Of organization has begun. A permanent
organization, with workers who will keep
up their work all the year around and every
year, Instead Of trying TO do the work Of
four years in few months before each
Presidential election, is what Is aimed at.
There is some difference of opinion among
Republicans as TO the policy TO be followed,
but The idea seems TO prevail that the force
bilP' question must be forever put aside
ana that there must be a mod fcati0n of
the party's position on the tariff. The Nc
kiDley Dill, 1t is argued, places the party
on a dangerous height and it must come
down little. making it their contention

The Bremen steamship Weimar is q
source of considerable trouble to the officials
of the Treasury Department. This vessel
is under detention at the national Quaran-

at Washington are satisfied that they were

the Presidents order of September 1. in
hope that they might be abe 10 evade its

Trial Of Professor Smith by the Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Nov. 16-The forenoon ses-
sion OF the presbyteTy now trying Professor
Smith for heresy was occupied by the argu-
ment Of DIR. McKibben for the prosecution.
The reverend speaker held that the charges
we're such as constituted an offense against
the doctrines of the church, and that they
were proved.
At the afternoon session Rev. Dr. McKlb-
ben continued his argument on behalf of
the committee of prosecution. He made
numerous citations from the Bible which
were not made in the committees statement
OF the charges. To this Professor Smith
objected, as introducing matter to which his
attention had not been called by the prose-
cutlon. The moderator overruled his objec-
tons. Professor Smith appealed, and the
vote resulted In 3S to sustain the moderator,
70 against sustaining, and IL members de-
elned to vote. While this could not be re-

The PopuIists Hold Everywhere the Bal

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 16.-General
Weaver, late candidate for President on the
Peoples party ticket. to-day issued a
lengthy address to the voters OF that party.
He declares that the Peoples party is but
little behind the Republican party In the
number of States carried; that it will
doubtless hold the balance of power in the
United States Senate; that 1t has doubled
its adberents in the House; secured control
of a number Of State Governments holds the
balance of power in the majority of the
States, and has gained a large fol-
lowing IN every State of the South.
Weaver says that the almost to-
tai humiliation Of the Republican party
organization leaves the fOrmer adherentS of
that party free to align themselves with the
anti-monopOly and industrial movement.
The accession of the Democratic party to
power is the result of a violent reaction and
is not the deliberate judgment Of the Amer
lean people.
The leaders of the Democracy, he de-
clares, are without any well-defined policy,
except that OF cOntemptuous disregard for
every element of reform within The ranks
OF their Gwn party and among the people al
large. The new administration will ignore
