LONDON. March 14.—Wltil,- throughout the London district a thaw lias set m, there are no signs »f moderating the severity of the* weather in the southwest of Lnglaiid. ,\ heavy snowstorm prevailed Thursday night in Devonshire and Cornwall. considerably adding to tlu: sufferings of the farmers of those counties, and still further impeding the resumption of traffic on the railroads of the southwest. As for the country roads they are utterly lin^ rtssable. Imgc snowdrifts completely preventing any communication between the different towns and villages. This stute of affairs naturally is very severe upon numerous villages wliieh depend almost entirely upon the towns in their neighborhood for supplies of food and fuel. In fact, in the ease of a number of small villages' the isolation is already causing considerable anxiety, as actual starvation stares them in the face, sliou'.d the weather not moderate shortly sufficiently to allow them to he revictualed. In addition to the enormous losses suffered by the fanners in sheep and cuttle, which have either been frozen to death in the fields or which have been smothered beneath the mountainous snowdrifts to be found on all sides, large numbers of horses have perished in like manner.

One of the curious incidents of the storm was the snowing up near Exeter of one of those old-fashioned four-horsa CunOlies wliieh still do duty in many parts of England In defauit of more modern methods of tran sit. The unfortunate passengers were compelled to camp by the roadside near the snowbound coach. They tried to make themselves as comfortable as possible, built a fire, unprovised a rude hut of branches torn liVm trees bordering on the highway and ki\nt Up their spirits as best they could. Tile all. os entire lack of food ainollg' the party soon reduced tlvm to a state of semi-starvation. When rescued the entire party was' badly fnrzeu and in a state of complete exhaustion. The facts which have coine to light in connection with snowed-up trains and particularly in connection with snowed-up vehicles only give some idea of what has taken place, for hundreds at least of such conveyances have been snowed up at various points and the experiences of many of them will never be told.

As an offset to the thousands who have been thrown out of work by the storm, thousands, it may be added, have been employed in clearing away the snow on the railroads west of Taunton. As another instance of the work to be done and the sufferings experienced it may be noted that on the railroad west of Taunton, between Totues and Plymouth alone, there are five trains snowed up.

FLOODS A N'N ST0I1MK IX HUSSIA. ST. Piri'EiisiiuitQ, March 14.—Floods which have followed the recent heavy snow-storms have destroyed one-half the winter crops in many places in southwest Russia. The Vistula has overflowed its banks and has inundated a great part of Warsaw. The inhabitants of that city are iu distress owing to the floods, the severity of which can be judged from the fad that the ramparts which form a part of the fortifications have been in parts destroyed by the rising waters.

FIKKC'K OAI.K AT l'lTTHHCHOH. PITTSHUHOII, Pa., March 14.—At 11 o'clock Friday morning a gule of wind reaching a velocity of 40 miles an hour passed over this city, causing considerable damage to property and injuring' several persons. The signal office reports that for a few minutes it attained a velocity of 43 miles an hour, the highest

ever known in this city. The walls of the Gertnania bank and Weldon buildings, the scene of Wednesday's Are, were rocked by the wind, and a large Section of the bank wall fell upon the roof of the Merchants & Manufacturers' Insurance Company building, breaking through the roof and three floors of the building. The occupants barely escaped with their lives. Chimneys on mills and houses throughout both cities are reported damaged or blown down-

The full text of the document follows: '•HOUSE OK COMMONS, Friday, March 13 To the lrUh People of America, Fellow Countrymen: In 18S0 nnd subsequent years you assisted mo powerfully by your Inllueiice upon American public opinion anl with your generous financial support lo clear* the ureal movement of tlie land league. Without your alii so freely given and so constantly maintained Ireland could uot for one n.omcut liavo made head against lieropprnssnrs. Still less could have attained the singular position of power and the promise of success which she lias occupied during the last live years. At thclnstant when victory seemed near and certain.the hasty anil meddlesome Interference of English politicians iu the complex organization or our party, aided by a sudden movement among seme young law reoruits, eagerly seconded by a few malcontents, oftlce-seekers and cnv.ons persons who crept into our ranks, temporarily tlcsiroyed the unity of our forces and sappe I vne Independence or msitiy Irish le.-resentu'.ives. "It now becomes my task lo restore this unity and reconstruct our movement, lopping off all unsound mau rials, taking effectual precautions against the admission In the future Into our nrmv of any weak, treacherous, self-seeking elements. Fortune has nnvelled this danger and plven space for thls^reconstruolion before iho^nnernl election, and the disclosure has brought about a rcnli/.iition of the Insufficiency of Mr. Clad-

Btone's proposed solution of the situation to secure legitimate liberty, happiness and prosperity of your brothers and sisters in Ireland. This disclosure was timely and all important. "The delegates who at my request are now crossing the ocean to your shores are well qualified with experience, ability an:l patriotism to fully explain and defend my position, which all that Is sound, courageous and reliable at home have assumod with mo at this crisis.

jj|||plLVER THE GREAT ISSUE.

Scaatnr Carlisle Indicate* tlie Probable Fighting Line* «r tlie Coining Preaiuentlal Election—A New Party Likely to Be

Formed. WASHINGTON", March 14.—Senator John G. Carlisle its of the opinion that the silver issue will be the principal issue of the next presidential campaign In an interview he said: "It would not be surprising If a certain element In the democratic and republican parties In portions of the norl»), west and south should stond together In support of the same candidate on that Issue. I tatto It that the statos of Virginia. Alabama, Ohio, In dlana, Illinois, California and the bulk of the states of the west which have the electoral voles anj opposed to freo sliver. If we nominate a free-^lver candidate and If the alliance men noinltflfte a candidate along with the republicans, the probabilities arc there will be no election by tho people. The house would have to elect In that case, and the democrats would win. "The next political campaign will undoubtedly be full of surprises on account of tho activity of the Farmers Alliance. This body will show more strength in the next congress than is anticipated by tiir returns, for, while the farmers claim eight members, ii is well enough to concede them the votes of at least twenty whose elect ion was due iu part, If not wholly, to promises made lo the nlliancc. As a political power I believe the alliance will make itself felt in the next campaign."
