1.-THE Brooklyn Bridge Trustees had properly
executed their trust they would not now, fifteen
years after filing the maps, be seeking the right
to extend the Bridge approach. The work
should have long ago been completed. If there
had been no unnecessary delay no such yexed
legal question as now confronts the trustees
would probably have arisen Should the trus-
tees now be denied the right to cross Chatham
ST.. the usefulness of the Bridge will he greatly
restricted. Good management would have met
this question at a time when it was possible to
have made different arrangements for switch
ing the Bridge cars. 1t has been misfortune
that the Bridge management has all along been
too closely connected with the affairs of the
Union Ferry Company.

The report of the agreement between Eng
land and France concerning Egypt, was fully
confirmed yesterday by Dir. Gladstone i'll the
House Of Commons. This agreement Is pre-
liminary to the Conference which meets next
Saturday. Unless the other Powers accept
England's financial proposals the agreement
will break down, and the financial proposals
and the agreement will both break down unless
approved by the British Parliament. The
worst feature of the agreement is the renewal
in a new form of multiple control in Egypt
That may be expected to bring forth renewed
discomfort and disorder.

Finds Judgement In an Insane Asylum.
NEW YORK, March II.
Mrs. Fanny Jacobs, wife of Mr.. Samuel
W. Jacobs, who resides at No. 3l9 East
Fifty-seventh street, sent to the Fifty
ninth Street Station House, yesterday,
for assistance, saying her husband had
become violently insane after reading the
morning papers. She said that after
looking over the World he jumped up and
said, "That settles 1t. I'll kill him."
Then he rushed wildly through the
house. Policeman Davis was called in
by a servant, and took Jacobs to the
station house. At the station he APP
peared to be laboring under sup
pressed rage, which, from the glare
of his eyes, was liable to break
forth at any moment. The
policemen did all they could to keep him
quiet. Ire positively refused to go to
Bellevue Hospital in an ambulance and
ordered a carriage. Mr.. V. L. Rolfe,
of No. 792 Second avenue, followed Mr..
Jacobs to the station and persuaded the
insane man to go gently to the hospital.
There Mr.. Jacobs said that he was 40 years
old and had been born in Poland. He said
he had lived in New York for thirty years.
"Whom are you going to KILL" asked
Doctor whitman.

tyrant. l have been reading all about the

me soon" His family would not speak
of his rawlings, but a friend said
that Mr.. Jacobs father had been a
political refugee from Poland some thirty
years ago. He fled to Germany and was
bounded almost to death because of his
politics and religion. He died in stable
heart-broken, his whole life having been
one of strife and trouble. His wife in
stilled into her sons mind the many
wrongs his father had suffered. From
the time of the first Lasker resolution
Jacobs took great interest in the case,
as he was a friend of Herr Lasker. When
he learned that Bismarck had really re-
turned the resolution he flew into vio-
lent rage and became dcmented. He hac
