NEw YoRK, April 20.-A London cable
to the New York Commercial Advertiser says:
The Malagassy Envoysaremuch disturbed,
and are in doubt as to the adyisability Of
returning to Paris, in order to renew the
negotiations commenced by them, or to
sign the formal papers ratifying tue new
treaty, which Queen Ranavalo is said to
have concluded directly with the French
representative in Madagascar. More than
that, the ENJOYS seem to be in doubt as to
the propriety Of returning to their country.

A Man Offers Doctor 8I00 TO Murder
,., His Insane Wife.

New York, April GA singular story
was told today by DR.. Bowen, one OF the
assistant surgeons Of the Kings County
Lunatic Asylum. 1t appears that Mrs.
Patrick Quinn, wife Of an Irishman resid.
ing residing in South Brooklyn, is an in.
mate Of the asylum. She Is q sufferer from
mental disease ot chronic character, and
and no hope Of her recovery is entertained.
Physical decay, however, mas not accom-.
panied the ruin of her intellectual facul.
ties, and there is every reason for suppos.
ing that, with proper care, she will live to
q ripe old age. From what Quinn has
been In the habit Of saying 10 the EN-.
ployes Of the Asylum, there Is little doubt
that an opportunity for another matrimo.
nial alliance was, the one thing needed to
complete his happiness. He constantly
bewailed the cruel fate of man who had
a demented wife, and declared that il Mrs
Quinn was of his hands he would get mar.
RED again. The last time Quinn visited
the asylum where bis wife was confined,
he had q long talk with her, and was about
to leave, when he asked one OF the nurses
10 see DR.. Bowen.
"What can do for you?" said DR..
Bowen, when he made his appearance.
..Well, Doctor" said Quinn, "my wife
will never yet better, and II ! could get
rid Of her, l might get married again and
take good care Of my children"
"What do you meanW said the Doctor,
more than ever convinced that Quinn was

Mr.. Shannon, an assistant, and told him to

Shannon did with more or less politeness,
principally less. Quinn admitted that he
had offered the Doctor Sl00 Tor the murder
Of his wife, and did not see what harm,
the death Of q hopeless lunatic would do.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-professor Baird,
OF the Smithsonian Institution, was not
deceived by the story telegraphed from
Texas Monday night about the falling Of a
remarkable aerolite few days ago, but
said yesterday before the hoax became
known that he would wait for further in.
formation before venturing any opinion.
Had the report proven true, Professor
Baird says the Smithsonian Institution
would have directed one ofits correspond
ents in heSouthwest to have proceeded to
the place and study tho phenomenon and
TO have obtained specimens for the National
Museum. Professor Baird says the
alleged Texas aerolite IL larger than
any known TO have fallen on the earth
since the prehistoric period. There
is nothing even approaching in sizs. The
largest in any museum OF this country is
in the National Museum. 1t was found in
Northern Mexico, the region where most
OF the e.olites have been found. Its
weight is three thousand pounds. The
second largest is the Gibbs aerolite, in the
museum Of Yale College, weighing one
thousand six hundred pounds; and the
third 10 size is also in the National Mu.
scum, It's weight being one thousand four
hundred pounds. This last is called the
Tucson aerolite." The Government also
owns a heavy mass Of iron found in the in
terror OF Greenland. which for time was
believed to bea monster aerolite. Sever.
al smaller aerolites are to he found in the
Smithsonian Institution and other mu.
seums Of the country, but the largest hith.
erto known would be as nothing beside
that found in Texas II the account of its
size be true. The matter will be investi.
gated by the officials OF the Smithsonian
Institution as soon as corroborative in.
formation is received.

The Suspension of the Union Iron and Steel
Works of ChicagO-The Judgments
Foot Up to More Than MillionDoIlars.
Especial Telegram to the Globe]
CHICAGO, Feb. 2-The suspension of the
Union Iron and Steel company continues
to be the topic of conversation in business
circles, and many different opinions are
expressed regarding the causes which
brought it about.
The GLOBE representative visited Mr.
Boomer, the secretary, who shook his head
with determined expression and said
'sWe have no further items this morning
We have nothing to say on any subject I'M
til we have time to see what is going
to be done, and determined on some def
mite plan of action"
'Are the mills running to-day?"
''No; they shut down last night"
"Have any steps been taken yet towards
the appointment of receiver"
''No; nothing has been done in any di-
rection, but the shutting down of the
mills"
''Can you form any idea of how soon you
will have determined on some course to
pursue?"
'No, cannot say. AS soon as we decide
on what's to be done the public will be
made aware of the fact" The works wore
a dreary look. There was nothing doing
and few men to be seen.
How are the men feeling over
this AFFAIR."" was asked.
"They are feeling pretty blue, being left
out of work in the dead of winter, and
with no certainty of there being a re-
sumption of work.
"Are the men feeling bitter over the
collapse?"
"Of course they are discontinued and
sore over it, but what's the use? We don't
know how things are going to shape, and
all we can do is to be patient and see what
will turn up"

States circuit court against the Union Iron
and Steel company as fol-
