ARMY DESERTIONS.
DURING LAST FISCAL YEAR $3.50
QUITE The SERVICE.
Major General Ainsworth in His An
nual Report Devoted Much Atten-
ton to the SubIect-Canteen Not
Likely to Be kestored-Easy and
Luxurious Lite of Soldiers Criticized.

Major General n. C. Ainsworth, the
military secretary, in his annual re-
port, devoted much attention to de-
sertions from the army. Those who
know how the canteen came to be
abolished, he states, are not hopeful
of its restoration; there is no likeli-
hood of any such increase in the sol
diers' pay as will Offset the greater in
ducemcnt offered in civil pursuits; the
comforts and even luxuries that are
furnished men in our service are even
now criticized by some as being not
only eXtravagant, but injurious in their
effect on men whose real business 1t
is to march and hight, encountered
with few comforts and no Injuries;
and the discipline and instruction to
which the soldier is now subjected are
not likely to be relaxed in the future.
He continues:
Our people have little real interest
in the army in time OF peace and from
tne earliest days of the republic have
been accustomed to look upon it as a
more or less unnecessary institution.
Enlistment in the army in time OF
peace is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence of worthlessness on the part
of the recruit.
1t is safe to predict that deseftions
from the army will continue to be eX-
cessive until there shan have been
a radical change of public sentiment
toward the army and until the de-
serter shall come to be regarded as
the criminal that he is, to be ostra-
cized and hunted down as relentlessly
as any other transgressor of the laws.
There is no reason to look for such a
change of sentiment in the near fut-
ure, and there are some who believe
that the change VIII never come until
our people shall have learned through
national disaster and humiliation that
the effective maintenance of an army
of professional soldiers is absolutely
essential to the preservation of the ma
tional honor and life, and that the
trained and disciplined troops of a
modern enemy can not be withstood by
hastily organized armies of unframed
or half trained civilians.
The losses in the regular army dur
ing the fiscal year were: Officers kill
ed in action or died of wounds, disease,
etc, "a; resigned or discharged 20;
dismissed, 10; deserted, 3; retired, SO,
total, 119.
Enlisted men killed in action or died
of wounds, disease, etc, 377; dis
charged upon expiration of term of
service, 22,254; discharged for disa-
bility by sentence of court martial and
by order, 1850; deserted, 6533; retired,
1889; total, 1881.
During the year 274 battle flags in
custody of the war department were
returned to the governors of the states
in which the regiments that bore them
were raised. He says there still re-
main here 452 of these flags.
General Ainsworth recommends that
these union flags be transferred to the
United States Military academy, and
that the confederate flags be given to
some general confederate memorial or
historical association.

KNIK INDIANS SLAVES

Athanasse, former chief of the Knik tribe of Indians, has been in Seward during the past week, says the Gate way. Although deposed from his of ficial capacity among his people by order of catholic priest the members of his band still prefer Athanasse as their leader.
 The object of this old chiefs visit to Seward is to secure market for moose meat, he having several Indians engag- ed in hunting and killing these animals some miles north of this place.
 There is a custom among the Knik Indians that when the parents of chil- dren die, their offspring becomes the slaves of the nearest relative. This person can collect their wages when they work for others and can take their trophies of the chase. Generally, however, in this day and age, the or phans rebel when old enough to under stand matters, and the law is thus rudely violated. It is supposed that Athanasse has some of his slaves at work slaughtering moose and that the old chief will receive the greatest bene- fit from their efforts.

Exchanges have been talking of the girl who is so bashfuI that she cannot see a sleeping car without blrshing; of a girl who faints at the sight of un- dressed Ium Der; the girl who locks her self in her room when she wants to change her mind; the girl who never thinks of retiring with copy of the Christian Observer in her room; and the girl who is so shy she will not wear undressed kid gloves. All of these pale into insignifcance beside the Juneau girl who shies at the bare truth of naked facts and has eliminated from her vo- cabulary garden hose, bureau drawers, and dog pants, and always turns her head when she sees the salad dressing. This same damsel refuses to remain in a printing office when the forms are made up.

Fourth Estate tells of western ed itor who liked to ridicule his fellow townsmen. He wrote: "John Brown and Henry Jones, of State street, were driving last night on the new road, when their horse took fright at a scare crow. The animal shied, reared, and becoming unmanageable, bolted. MT. Brown and Mir. Jones were thrown out at curve of the road, alighting un- harmed on a heap of sand. Fortunately both men were sober" Brown and Jones were enraged at the paragraph and demanded reparation. The editor made it in the editorial column in these words: "In yesterdays issue, in our re- port of the runaway accident of Messrs. John Brown and Henry Jones, we stated that fortunately both men were sober. This statement, it appears, has given great oRense. We therefore beg to withdraw it."

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION KILLS SEVEN.
Hot Candle Grease Failing From Miners Cap
Supposed TO Be Cause.

Butte, Mont, (SpeciaD.-By the ex-
plosion of 100 pounds Of dynamite on
the I,5oo-foot level OF the Cora Mine,
one Of the Heinze properties, seven men
we're instantly killed and one badly in
jured.
Wampra, who is a Finlander, was in
the magazine on the I,5oo-foot level, get
ting a supply of powder for Hill and Gill,
who were above working in a slope. r,
A. Warden, foreman OF the mine, was at
the magazine three minutes before the
disaster occurred. He saw Wampra get
the powder for himself and companions
for the night. Wampra was tying up
about so pounds. Warden left to over
see some work in another part of the
mine Three minutes after there was
a terrific explosion. Warden, accompan-
led by other miners, rushed TO the sta
ton. lie found Wampra had been killed
Instantly
II is believed that the explosion was
caused by hot candle grease falling from
Wampras cap on a powder cap. Gill,
O'Brien, Hanley and Iloolihan were killed
by the conclusion caused by the explo-
sion. They were at work in some slopes
long distance from the magazine, but
the conclusion was strong enough to
mutiate several of the men badly and
tear the clothes off their bodies.
