HEAVY LAND SLIDES.
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. There
is a heavy land-slide in the canyon
between here and Dunsmuir, re
quiring many hours to remove it.

DAVID PORTER DEAD
The Distinguished Admiral of the
Wavy Passes Away.
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. Admiral David Dixon Torter was
born in Chester, Delaware county,
Pa., June 8, 1813- He studied at
Columbia College, Washington,
D. C.and in 1824 ue accompanied
his father in the John Adams to
suppress piracy in the West Indies ;
was appointed midshipman in the
Mexican navy. In 1829 Admiral
Porter entered the United States
navy as midshipman, cruised in
the Mediterranean and then cruis
ed on the coast survey until he
was promoted to lie itenant, Feb
ruary 27, 1841. In 1845 he was ap
pointed to tl e naval observatory
in Washington. He served during
the entire Mexican war.
At the beginning of the civil war
he was ordered to command the
steam frigate Powhotan, which
was dispatched to join the Gull
blockading sauadron at Pensacola,
and to aid in reinforcing Fort
Pickens. On April 22, 1861, he
was appointed commander, and
subseauentlv he was placed in
command of the mortar fleet con-
tosting of twenty-one Bchooners,
each carrying a 13-inch mortar,
and with five steamers as convoys
joined Farraitut's fleet in March,
1862. and bombarded fort J act-
son and Fort St. Phillip, below
New Orleans, from the 18th till
the 24th of April, during which
engagement 20,000 bombs were ex
ploded in the Gonlederate worKS.
He assisted Farragut in all the
latter'a operations between New-
Orleans and Vicksbarg. For bis
services at Vicksburg, Porter re
ceived the thanks of congress, and
the commission of rear-admiral,
dated July 4, 1863. He was in
charge of the naval forces at the
capture of New Orleani. On July
25, 1866, he was promoted to vice
admiral. On August 15, 1870, he
was appointed admiral ot tne navy,
which rank he held at the time of
his death. He was the author of

The Day at Olympla.
Olympia, Feb. 13. The railroad
fight is up in earnest in the legis
lature, the house having to-day
seriously begun the consideration
of several railroad bills. The de
bate came up on a minority report
of the committee, recommending
the indefinite postponement of
Fe lows' bill and the adoption cf a
substitute bill creating a railroad
commission. Ihe discussion was
very warm, and the minority bill
was finally voted down. No
progress was made in the consid
eration of Fellows' bill and the
whole matter went over till to
morrow. The senate was in ses
sion tn o hours and passed seven
bills. Luce's bill to regulate the
practice of pharmacy was de-
letted.

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

VOL. 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,'.
