The facts shown in his table are starting
and earnest attention Is invited to them,
The Secretary OF the Navy several months
ago convened a board of six representative
line officers, with the Assistant Secretary
of the Navy as president, to consider and
recommend such changes in existing law
relative to the commissioned personnel OF
the line Of the navy as would tend to pro-
mote efficiency n economy. The essen
tial recommendations Of the board have
been cordially approved by the Secretary.
The bill herewith transmitted TO the Con-
Oress has been formulated by the Secre-
tary and il based, except IN a few details,
upon the recommendations OF the board.
| earnestly recommend its early considera-
ton. Should IL be enacted into law IL Will
cause officers on the seagoIng list 10 reach
the grade of Captain at 4S and Rear Admiral
at So, and will assure their serving seven
years in the grade of Captain and seven
years in the grade OF Rear Admiral, thus
enabling them to become thoroughly skill
full and efficient in these grades.
The accompanying bill also establishes
the grade of Vice-Admiral. This grade hes
long existed in all other principal navies
of toe world in order to obtain a selected
grade of skilled commanders in chief. The
commander in chief of a fleet, with one or
more Rear Admirals serving d him, is
logically entitled TO a higher rank than
his subordinate, because OF his greater
authority and responsibility. On occasions
of official importance, Of International
council. or of combined naval action las,
for instance, the Boxer troubles in China
the interests of this great nation demand
that our naval representative shall rank
as the equal OF the naval Representatives
of other powers
Moreover, under the accompanying blu,
which is the result OF recommendations
made by a board principally composed of
naval officers, a large percentage Of the
| officers are eliminated from the seagoing

and the gun, Just as 1t shot out q Jet

A second report mingled so closely
with the first as to make them seem
but one; and Zeney, with the man
who had shot her, fell to the ground.
All had happened so quickly that
LATTE, who was, for an instant, I'M
nerved by Rose de Cazeneau's effort
to save him, had scarcely time to
draw a pistol before his unknown as.
sailant fell, as If from the discharge
of his own weapon, which had killed
Zeney.
In their surprise and fright, and by
reason OF the confusion, no one except
LATTE had comprehended any mean
ing in the words which followed the
wild cry of Barbe, who now stood Sob
bling Historically, with her arms
around her half-swooning mistress,
while Lazalie, with diating nostrils
and blazing eyes, sought to release
herself from Madame Riefet.
Baptistine, who had heard the shots,
reached the shore In a small boat
pulled by some of his crew, soon after
Shapiro appeared at the edge of the
thick woods from whence had come
the bullet that had killed Zeney's slay-
er.
The English sailor, at Lafitte's COM
mand, now surrendered his arms to
Shapiro, and was promised freedom,
IN exchange for truthful statement
OF the motive which brought his com.
panion and himself to the spot.
He said that the other man had been
unknown to him until that same morn
ing; and all he now knew of him was
that he was scout, picked up from
among the Indians, and bought to
serve the English. Capt. Lockyer,
who was In command OF the English
fleet upon Lake Borgne, having
learned that LATTE was in that vicin-
tty, had selected this scout to find and
capture the man upon whom he longed
to execute personal vengeance. His
orders had been to bring LATTE 10

One of his owr craft, commanded
by Baptistine, was ,ying off the Owls
Point, awaiting the signal which
would announce the coming Of LATTE,
who, bent upon a private mission in
the neighborhood, had not reckoned
upon the present denouement.
But now, in view of all the clrcum-
stances. he considered this, the boat.

the ladies directly to Shell Island,
where now were only old Scipio, Ju-
niper and the boy, Nato.
Waiting therefore until he saw Sha-
pira start for the Colonneh, followed
by the now quiet slaves. Lafitte, who
had meantime explained his plan to
his own charges, told them to follow
him, and set out hurriedly in an OPP
poslte direction from that taken by
Shapiro and his dusky retinue.
The forest was darkening with late
afternoon shadows as the fleeing par.
ty followed, in comparative silence,
the tall form that led them.
At length the party emerged from
the ustpti SHduOWS VI thtii "oouSu
way, and came into cleared space,
where the knoll known as "The Owls
Point" projected into the bayou; and
salting here, LATTE looked about him,
while the others stood grouped little
distance away, awaiting quietly his
movements.
But before he could give the signal
to Baptistine, whose craft was con-
cealed around the bend of the bO'ou,
two men burst from the cover of a
thicket opposite LATTE, a gun was
leveled at his breast, and hoarse
voice shouted, Surrender, you cursed
pirate!"
Rose de Cazeneau, with wild cry,
rushed between the weapon and La
fitte, while Barbe, who had been star
ing-as though he were a ghost-at
the holder of the gun, echoed the
shrek of her mistress.
"Do not-do not shoot your child"
she screamed; and, at her words, old
Zeney. who stood nearest the strang-
err, gave him one searching look, and
