A Naval Reserve Training
Squadron For Duty on
the Great Lakes.
A WASHINGTON PLAN TO GIVE
INLAND STATES SAILORS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN-THE
GRANT-RooT ROMANCE.
SpeclaI TO The Journal.

Washington, Aug. 10.-What practi-
composed of ancient hulks and dere-
licts, will gather off Bots Blanc island
in Lake huron tomorrow for pro-
gram of NavaI maneuyers and activi-
ties to occupy one week. The squad
ron will hardly be a menace to the
peace of the world, and is not likely
to give rise to war talk in Canada,
since the ships mount no heavy guns
In all other respects, however, the
activities INDUCED in by the Atlantic
feet Will be emulated-
Four sovereign states will be rep
resented in this remarkable fleet
gathered for the education of their
naval militia. Illinois will be repre-
scented by the Derothea, Michigan by
the Yantic, Minnesota by the Gopher
and Ohio by the Hawk and the Essex
in addition, the ancient United States
sunboat Wolverine will be in attend
ance and Commander Henry EorreH
will use it as a flagship and direct
the maneuvers from its deck.
Although an existing treaty between
-IS NTLSdI
prohibits the presence of warships. on
The Great Lakes, other than those en-
gagged in the revenue cutter service,
there is a growing sentiment for a
trained naval force on the shores Of
the unsalted seas. With great water
way between the Atlantic and the
lakes such as is now projected, war
ships could easily ravish the inland
states if Uncle Sam and John Bull
should ever go to war. While such
a possibility is extremely remote, the
development of a Thoroughly trained
naval militia is being encouraged in
every way possible by the navy de-
partment.

Essex, with eight real guns, ranging
from Colts to six-pounders, and the
Hawk, minus anything resembling

cade ago, with a battery of four six

his right hand. The terrified woman mus
tered sufficient courage to demand the
reason for the intruder's presence. With
out replying he seized her by the throat.
In spite of her weakness, Mrs. Bodkin
managed to shrek for help, and Hilda,
who sleeps across the hall from her mis-
tress. rushed to her assistance.
The girl sprang upon the man and tore
his hands from her mistress throat. The
two struggled about the room, while Mrs.
Bodkin aroused the neighborhood with
her screams. Finding himself bested In
the struggle, the man drew revolver
and struck the girl opponent several
blows on the head with it, forcing her
to relinquish her hold. Then he threw
open the door into the hall and rushed
out or the mouse JUST as Cnarles wing,
who lives on the floor above, was coming
down the stairs to find out the cause of
the uproar.
In the meantime a neighbor. who also
had been awakened, had turned in an
alarm of fire, and in the excitement the
policemen who had arrived lost all trace
of the intruder. 1t was afterward dis
covered that the burglar had obtained
entrance through the cellar door. and
had climbed the water pipes in the air
shaft to the floor above.
