mandcd by the manufacturers. 1t
is further said that the fifteen armor
plate manufacturing concerns in the

ing into trust so that they may
dictate prices to all the governments.
In view of the enormous profits
made by the Carnegie company,
there are strong grounds for saying
the prices demanded were excessive

HhNDCUFFS FOR r. ZANE SOLDIERS.
Gen. Otis Sends Hurry Request for One
Thousand Pairs-The Cause OF insanity

A request recently received at the
war department from Gen. Otis, at
Manila, for 1000 pairs of handcuffs
AMI 200 pairs of leg sbackles, to be
sent at the earliest possible moment
has puzzled the officials.
At first it was thought that they
might be intended for use on cap
tured insurgents, but as there has
been no large captures recently, and
as all reports agree that the fierce
insurgents become very docilc when
they fall into the hands of the
Americans, this theory was immc-
diatcly abandoned.
1t is now revealed that the hand
cuffs and shackles are for use on our
own soldiers, especially for the large
number whose reason has given way
under the heat and the stress of war,
and who have to be handcuffcd and
sometimes shacklcd TO prevent them
from escaping or doing themselves
bodily injury.
Another lot of insane soldiers is
now on the way to Washington from
San Francisco, to Join the growing
colony of their comrades confined at
st. Elizabcth's, the government asy-
lum for the insane.
An employee of the surgeon gene
RAILS office, who has just returned
from Manila, says that the pcrccn-
tagc of insanity among the troops
serving in the Philippines is alarm
ing, and that those who reach this
country are only the most aggravated
cases
1t is common thing at roll call,
he asserts, to see man acting
strangely, and he is at once turned
over to the surgeon. A few days in
the hospital or guard tent sometimes
brings him around, but if he is vio-
lent, and the insanity among the
soldiers usually takes this form, he
is turned over to the authorities at
Manila. Then if he does not re-
cover i'll a reasonable time he is sent
to st. Elizabcth's.
a number of soldiers are under
going punishment in the Philippines
for iafractions of the regulations,
but such prisoners are rarely hand
cutfcd.

SEARCHING FOR EVIDENCE.
Police Hard at Work on Case against Best in
The Bailey Murder.

Lynn. Mass, Oct Estate Officer
Neal went to Breakheart Hill farm.
this morning. overhauled the effects Of
the murdered George e. Bailey, all
packed by his brother and boxed ready
for shipment to Maine, and brought
back the brown overcoat which Bailey
wore on the night he was killed while
making his last trip to the Deary farm
at Pleasant hill with milk.
The coat had been noticed hanging
where Bailey used to hang II during
the search at the house, but then no
one knew that Bailey wore it that
night, and Charles Deary had not
brought this important bit of evidence.
Susie Young went with Officer Neal
and unpacked the things.
While Bailey stood talking with her
husband on the steps leading to the
milk room, the light from within fell
full upon him and Mrs. Deary, who
was looking from the window, noticed
the coat reaching to his knees Mrs.
Deary recalls other things, among
them that later, when one day she ask
ed Best what he supposed had become
Of Bailey. Best replied: Il am not 60
ing to tell all l know"
on the night before Best was ar
rested-the day Bailey's body was re-
covered from the pond at Floating
Bridge-Best told Mrs. Deary that he
expected to hear from Bailey in the
morning. His prediction came true.
for next day he was told that a body
had been found in the pond and later
he was taken into custody.
The police now have the number and
description of the missing watch that
Bailey carried. The information came
from Jeweler Palmer of Head Tide,
Alma, Me. who repaired it. The watch
was a seven-jewel, Elgin movement.

up again.
The officers are anxiously waiting
for State Officer Proctor to return from
New Haven with a report on the rife
and bullets found in the Breakheart
Hill house and the bullets taken from
Bailey's body. 1t is also necessary to
hear the report Of Prof. Wood on the
blood stains that have been found at
different points. and submitted TO him
for microscopic examination. While
the officers are waiting for these two
important reports, they are devoting
their time in getting evidence in shape
To proceed against Best, providing Off
Ger Proctor and Prof. Wood make re-
ports that the officers believe will be
made.
Miss Susie Young returned to her
home at Wiscasset. Me, tonight. but
expressed a willingness to return here
at any time the officers deem her pres
ence necessary.
