RECALLS GEN. scHoFIELD.
The Hero of Many Battles win Act as srnI- tary Adviser se President Mckinley
 During Pending Trouble.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-As a result of Gen. Schofeld's recent visit to the white house, the announcement was made that he has been recalled from the retired list and assigned to duty as military adviser to the president and the secretary of war. The ex- planation of Gen. Schofeld's assign- ment to active duty, given out at the war department, is that number of officers from the retired list will he called on to perform executive duty while younger officers are in the field Gen. Scho6eld is one of the abIest ex- ecutiye officers the army has ever known and, while there is no desire to renect upon Gen. Miles or to interfere with him in the discharge of his duties as commander-in-chief of the army the selection of Gen. Schofield as con. fdential military aid to the president gives general satisfaction.

MAKE IT A POPULAR LOAN.

One very gratifying circum- stance in connection with the war excitement is the readiness with which the American people are coming forward with offers of f. nancial assistance to the govern ment. It is related in Wash ington dispatch that no less than $50, 900, GOO have already been rendered to the treasury depart ment upon any terms that con gress may see fit to make. These tenders have not been confined to millionaires or the banks. They come from every part of the com mon country and from every. class and degree of citizen. In the same mail with an offer from a great insurance company to ad- vance $10,000, ,000 came an offer from the mayor of city no larger than Kansas City to place S15, 000, GOO in loan paper among it's citi- zens, and when we remember that as yet the government has made no move towards borrowing money these offers are as cheering as they are significant.

THE ALASKA HORROR.
coot Pass snowsiide- Bodies or 69 Already Reeoverea.

SEATTLE, Wash, April l2.-Advices received yesterday from Skaguay, Alaska, say that at least T5 lives were lost in the snowslide on the Chilcoot pass The number may possibly be as high as 100 Sixty-nine bodies have been recovered so far, and the work of excavating is still progressing The place where the slide reached the greatest depth has not been touched. The bodies of J. E. Morgan, of Empo- ria, Kan. and l.. Weidlin, of Kansas City, Mo, have been found. A fact that lends horror to the fearful tragedy is that it may never be known with any degree of accuracy just how many lives were sacrificed, who they were or where they came from. Many a poor fellow lies buried where no human aid can reach, and his remains must rest until the summer rain melts tue tons of snow and ice under which he lies buried. Upon the crowded trail no record was kept of the living mass of humanity braving hardships and facing death itself for the mad rush for gold. In the procession that daily passed were people from all parts of the world. unknown to one another.
