MAY RE INSANE.

Bristol, Oct. 17.-Willian Eaton, the Bristol burglar, who escaped from Wethersfield several months ago, has been located. He is confined in Dana mora prison, Clinton, N. Y., where he is serving five years sentence for burg lary in the third degree. Shortly after his escape from Wethersfield he com mitted the crime that landed him be- hind the prison bars again. He had only twentyseven days more to serve when he escaped. The idea is ad vanced here that the young man should be examined as to his sanity. His thefts have been peculiar ones and with one exception, as far as known, he has never stolen anything of value to him self.

OF thirty-three months is considerably In
excess of the time required in the best .,rit-
ish shops and ship yards for building battle
ships. yet there has been a steady reduction
of the time limit by our shipbuilders that
promises to soon put them on an equality
with the British in this respect as they
now are in nearly all others pertaining to
warship building
Generally speaking the three big ships
are to be patterned closely after the Illinois
class, such as are now building at Newport
News. In the judgment of the department
experts, the best feature of those magnifi-
cent warships, the Iowa and the Indiana,
have been combined in this class Further
substantial improvements might have been
made, especially in the matter of speed, but
to include the details in the specifications
and designs would have required a general
recasting Of the lines and internal arrange
ments of the ships, involving not only some
additional expense, but considerable loss
of time in the letting of contracts 1t was
this last consideration that influenced the
bureau chiefs to omit the improvements re-
ferred to.
The advertisements calling for the build
ing of asnumber of monitors are withheld.
owing to the difference of opinion among
bureau chiefs as to the turrets to be placed
On these monitors. One element favors a
vertical turret, while another led by the
chief constructor, insists that nothing less
than the best and most modern inclined
turret will serve.

EXTRA PAY OF AN OFFICER,
Important Decision by the secretary
of War.

The Secretary of War has made a deci-
sion In regard to the allowance of extra
pay for exercising command above that
pertaining to an officers grade, In which
he says:
Under se:tion of the act of Congress
approved April 26. 1885, an officer is not en-
titled to the pay and allowances of the
grade appropriate to a command exercised
by him above that pertaining to his grade,
except when serving with troops operat-
ing against an enemy and exercising the
command of the higher grade under as
signment in orders issued by competent au-
thority.' 1t is held that troops serving
within the limits of the United States at a
time when there is no foreign army with.
in said limits are not operating against an
eremy, notwithstanding the existence Of
war conditions. For the purpose of re-
stricting assignments to command under
this section to competent authority it Is
decided that such authority can be exercis-
ed only by the Secretary of War or by the
commanding general of an army operating
against an enemy"
This decision restricts extra compensa-
ton to officers OF the army serving on the
expeditions to the Philippines and to San
usgo, those being the only troops officially
recognized by the War Department rs
operating against the enemy"

ernOrs of the States.
Adjutant General Corbin said today that
the state rendezvousing points for the
troops apportioned to them under thu sec
ond call would be determined upon by the
governors. This decision is in accord with
the practice followed under the first call
when the War Department adopted the rec
concentrations made by the executives of
the states and territories. These rendez-
vousing points, it is underst TODD, are to bs
used for the new organizations called out
The men recruited to ill regiments already
existing are promptly shipped from the To-
cality in which they are recruited to the
central point at which ths regiments are
stationed. The department officials hope
that the experiences under the first call
will not be repeated under the second. when
innumerable appeals were made and much
pressure brought to bear for changes in the
apportionment as at first determined. The
consequence was that considerable confu-
sion and much annoyance arose in connec-
ton with the matter. Later on, when the
troops are ready to rendezvous, mastering
officers will be appointed and operations
will proceed as under the first call.
