TRAINS PILED IP IN COW CREEK CANTON. Raia nas Fallen in Torreuts and Mauy Slides Hare Blocked the Southern Pacific Road. Portland, Feb. 13. The South ern Pacific Railway Company seems to be sadly out of luck. A year ago at this time, Cow Creek canyon was the scene of one of the most extensive land-slides and washouts that ever occurred on this coast. During the past three days rain has been falling in tor rents at the canyon and the through train is overdue here 12 hours. Two trains are now stuck between land-slides, the extent of which is not known here by the company officials. "One train iH fast between Kichols and West Fork, and the other is at Nichols," said Superintendent Fields this afternoon. "Neither has as yet been able to reach Salt creek, the first telegraph station this side of the ditches, but I expect to hear of their getting that far north this evening. From that point there will be no delay suffered, as all the trouble is south of West Fork. "I do not think the slides are very exteneive, but there are a great many of them, perhaps. Rain has fallen there occasionally in torrents, and there is no telling what may occur. I shall go down to-night accompanied by Resident Engineer Volt and see what can be done. We have a large num ber of men at work and Bay 4 Jeffrey's gang has been put on the works. No Chinese can be hired, owing to their infatuatiou with their New Year festivities." HEAVY SNOW AT 8:SON. Sisson, Feb. 13. There is four feet of snow on the mountain road to Fall river. The south bound Oregon express is many hours late, owing to a big washout on the Cow Creek section.

HE DEMISE IN WASHINGTON. Brief Biography of One Who Took a ' Prjminmt Fart la the Civil Wsr- His Death Came Suddenly- Washington, Feb. 13. Admiral David D. Porter died this morn ing. Death was very sudden. It oc curred at his residence here, and whs the result of fatty degenera tion of the heart, with which he bad been afflicted since last summer. His dpath was calm and peace ful. When Dr. Wales left him at 11 o'clock last night his condition was about the same as it had been for several weeks past, and there were no indications that medical services would be needed before the time of the doctor's regular visit this morning. At 8 o'clock the admiral's son, Richard, who slept by his side, noticed a change in his father's condition. He was breathing with difficulty, and seemed to be choking. The household was at once aroused, and Dr. Wales sent for. The patient's pulse grew fainter and fainter, and at 8:15 o'clock cased to beat. At that hour he gasped convulsively and expired without a word. Dr. Wales reached the house almost immeJiately after being notified, and applied ell restoratives known to science, but to no effect. Word was at once sent to the president and secretary of the navy. The flags at the White houe and other public buildings were placed at half-mast. Secre tary Tracy promptly visited the familv, at the residence, and conferred with them in regard to the funeral arrangements. It was settled that the funeral should be marked with the highest military honors, and the interment should he at the Arlington National cemetery. The secretary of the navy has issued an order announcing the death of Admiral 1'orter and recit ing his distinguished services to the country. On tlie day ol the funeral the navy department wili be closed, flags will be displayed at half-mast at all the navy yards and stations, and on board all shins in comimsMon. and seven teen minute guns will be fired from each navy yard. The navy department will be draped in black and all officers of the navy and veteran corps will wear a badge of mourning for thirty days. Tne funeral will take place Tues day.

AN APPEAL FOR HELP THE PEOPLE ARE STARTING IN NEBRASKA. They Have No Money to ltny Food, Clotklng or Seed, and Must Have Help or Die of Hunger. Portland, Feb. 13. W. F. Miller, of Omaha, is in this city to-day enroute to the Sound. He says:" "In western Nebraska people are starving. In twenty eight counties, there are 160,900 people utterly destitute. For three years they have been without crops, and men owing $10,000 worth of land cannot buy provis ions or get credit, and, not haying a cent, their families must go hungry. "Unless something is done, thousands will die, At the last meeting of the legislatu.e,- the sum of $100,000 was appropriated to relieve the distressed, but that is not enough to provide one county. The people have appealed for aid, and a car load of flour was sent from the Palouse country. The people had not enough money to pay the freight, and so broke the car and stole a lot ot the Hour, and moreof it was put up as security for the freight. Grocery dealers will not sell a sack of flour on cr dit to the best man in the state without the money,- even though his wife and babies are dying of hunger. Something must be done at once, or the consequence will be awful." "Oregon has an excellent chance to do some wholesome advertising oy sending a trainload of flour, meat and general provisions to the fanishing thousands." Mavor DeLashmutt of Portland has also received an appeal for aid from the destitute people of South r-k . . i r. , i uaKoia, wno are w unoui iooa ana have no money to buy seed for their crops or clothing.

VI NO. 65 CLEVELAND'S LETTER It Has Aroused the Ire ef Many Prominent Democrats. IT MAY COST HIS NOMINATIOK What the Bewtpapen Haft to Mj-DaBa, of the l'8an," Attacks Eli Old Ea-my- Els Friends Btgret It. The Reform Club of New York he'd a meeting in that city Wed nesday evening for the purpose of approving the free silver bill. Among the letters' of regret re ceived was one from ex-President Cleveland, in which he says : It mre!y cannot be accessary for me to make a formal expression of my agreement witb those who be lieve the greatest perils would be Initiated by the adoption of the scheme embraced in passing the measure now pending in coi'gresa for the unlimited coinage of silver at our mints. If we have develop ed an unexpected capacity for the assimilation of a largely increased volume of currency, and even it we have demonstrated the useful ness of such an increase, these conditions fall far short of insur ing us against disaster if in the present situation we enter upon the dangerous and reckless experi ment of free, unlimited and inde pendent silver coinage. I his letter has brought torth considerable comment from vari ous newspapers, some of whose opinions are given below. New Orleans, Feb. 13. The Times-Democrat, referring to Cleveland's letter, says Cleveland is not in accord with the sentiment of the democracy of the country. We regret exceedingly that he should have written this letter." The Picayune says : "Mr. Cleve land has taken a position his friends will have cause to regret." Kansas City, Feb. 13. The Times says : "If Cleveland is pre pared to suspend his private judg ment in case he is elected, he may get the nomination and be elected. If not, the party had better study some other cndidates." St. Lous. Feb. 13. The Repub lic says : "The letter is merely a private opinion of a single demo crat, and commits neither the party nor Cleveland himself." New York, Feb. 13. The Sun says: "Cleveland's letter is as disingenuous and amusing a docu ment as has recently proceeded from his industrious pen. While primarily intended for the placa tion of mugwump friends who have been persistent in their de mands that Cleveland should 'dam to be a Daniel' on the silver ques tion, the letter squints at the Southern and Western democrats. The point in Cleveland's present view is not the liberal extension ofs'Iver currency, for we have demonstrated the usefulness cf such an increase. It is a free, un limited and independent silver coinage that he sniffs disaster in. And who demonstrates the useful ness of such increase. True to the last to his destiny, G rover Cleve land dares to be only a stuffed Daniel on the silver question." St. Louis, Feb. 23. Excitement was caused in the lower branch of the legislature at Jefferson City this morning when a resolution was introduced, setting forth the fact that Cleveland bad taken a stand against free coinage, and could not therefore be the choice of the democratic party for presi dent. After a heated debate the resolution nas tabled. GENERAL SHERMAN. He Is Growing Weaker Tbe Fam ily Greatly Annoyed. New Yore, Feb. 13. General Sherman passed the night com paratively comfortably, and bis physicians and family to-day en- ' tertained a faint hope of bis re covery. To-night, however, he is worse. At 1 :30 Lieutenant Thackeray said General Sherman was sleep ing. His glands . were much swollen and his throat filling with mucus. He is growing percepti bly weaker. The family of General Sherman were greatly annoyed to-day at the publication in the Times of an article referring to the administra tion of "extreme unction" to tbe general. The article in question referred to the fact that the general is not a Catholic, although the family intimated that the sacra ment of "extreme unction" was administered while be was uncon scious, leaving the inference to be drawn that it was without his per mission. Many other inferences might have been drawn from the article, disagreeable to the family. The general's son, P. Tecumseh. Sherman, in a conversation with a reporter to-day, was indignant at the insinuations in the article. He said the priest was called at the request of the family and the "ext:eme unction" was ad ministered also at their request. It was true that tbe general might not have been con scious of what was going on, but there had been no secrecy about it . whatever,'. i 1 1
