On my way home through St. Aga

guards. They had heard nothing, had
seen nothing. How that girl had

my memory of the night by actual con-
tact with visible, tangible things. The
lake twinkled in the sunlight, the sky
overhead was a fiawless sweep of blue,
and the foliage shone from the deluge
of the early night But in the soft mold
of the path the prints of woman s

-ungraciously, indefensibly, gui1tily

that the neat outlines spoke of modish

planned away as marking the lightly
limned step of a fairy or the gold
sandaled flight of Diana. Then 1 de-
scended to ST. Agatha,s and found

THREAT TO DYNAMITE
Congressman Get Letters Because of
High Living Cost.

Several members OF Congress received
letters yesterday Threatening them and
their property with dynamite. The let
tiers are signed ''The Committee" and
bear the postmark Of the New Inlet
Park Station. Chicago. The letters are
alike. ''The Committee" calls the pub
lies attention to the fact that the prices
OF the necessaries OF life are beyond the
reach Of those who are compelled 10 Ia
Dor for a living. and adds:
You are also aware that this state OF
affairs was brought on by the trusts in
this country through the legislation of
Congress and through the governors Of
States. Every man sent to Congress or

Do you ever think OF the good you could
do for the people IL you would legislats
for them instead of for the trust and the
corporations?"
The letter concludes as follows: "Dyna-

WOULD MODIFY TREATY.

With a view 20 paving the way for
diplomatic negotiations with Great Brit
tain whereby the Bagot treaty may be
so modified as to enable American ship
pers to build war ships on the Great
Lakes the House yesterday passed two
resolutions reported by the Committee on
Naval Affairs. One of them directs the
President, if not incompatible with pub
lie interest, to furnish the House with
information as to what steps, II any,
have been taken to remove obstacles
that under the terms of the Bagot treaty
prevented the construction of a gunboat
on the Lakes. authorized by the naval
bill OF 1898.
The second resolution directs the Sec
rotary of the Navy to inform the House
whether the department has at any time
received bids from shipbuilders on the
Lakes for the construction OF vessels;
further, to inform the House of the
maximum dimensions of vessels that can
now pass through intervening locks be-
tween the Lakes and the seaboard, and
to what extent naval vessels could be
constructed in shipyards on the Lakes
in case the present obstacles to such
construction should be removed.
Negotiations have frequently been in
stituted by this government to secure
the abrogation of that provision of the
Bagot treaty prohibiting the building OF
war vessels on the Lakes. This was one
of the subjects considered by the high
joint commission some years ago. Up
to this time Great Britain has shown
no disposition TO consent to any 1nodi-
fication of the convention.

TO ALTER NAVY PERSONNEL
Representative Foss Will Introduce
Bill Drawn at Department.
Plan 20 Provide Steady System of
Promotion to Command
Rank.

Representative Foss. chairman OF the
House Naval Committee. viii introduce
within the next several days a bill pre-
pared at the Navy Department for the
purpose OF recognizing the commissioned
personnel OF the navy and Marine Corps.
This bill has been approved by Secretary
OF the Navy Meyer and by President
Taft, who sent a message 10 the House
last week urging its passage. The object
of the bill is 90 provide a steady system
o. promotion. so that officers shall arrive
at command rank earlier in their careers
than they do now.
If enacted the bill will become opera
tive on July 1 next. According 10 COM
putations made at the Navy Department
there should be 1900 officers for the
! ] ,2O0,00e tonnage. which is approximately
the present size Of the navy. Under the
proposed bill there must be eighteen va
cancies in the year ending June 30 next
down 10 and including the officers who
have served since 1873. There viii have
been on that date thirteen retirements,
and it viii therefore be necessary to
create five additional vacancies.
The number of officers in the grades
will be as follows:
Admiral of the navy, 4; admiral. i. vice
admiral 3: rear admiral, IS; captain, 20;
commander, 10; lieutenant commander,
zoe; lieutenant 4SS; lieutenant, junior
grade. ISL: ensign. ass. and midshIpmen.
So Including officers who are extra
numbers" and former engineer officers.
who were transferred to the line several
years ago, the total number OF line Off
GERS would be about 2,42l.
The proposed law will cause promotion
in the line and staff corps. The medical
corps will not be increased in number of
members, but about forty officers will be
promoted TO higher grades, The pay
corps will be increased from 200 10 90
officers. which viii also cause readiust-
ment of rank. thereby promoting several
officers. The corps of naval constructors
will be enlarged from "A to 50 officers. and
the corps of civil engineers from 20 to 50
officers There will be few changes IN
the organization of the Marine Corps.
