STORY CREATES AMUSEMENT.
Virginia Pilots Ridiculed Idea Of
Island in Chesapeake Bay.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEWPORT NEWS. Va. April 5.--An AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch, stating that the
coast defense board had recommended the
establishment of an artificial island on the
middle grounds at the entrance to Chesa-
peake bay was shown to several members
of the Virginia Pilot Association yesterday
afternoon. and created great amusement.
The idea was declared to be absurd and
utterly impractieable. The shoals are COW
cred by nineteen feet of waters. and work
of construction could only take place in
calm weather in summer. The shoals are
about two miles wide and the bottom very
sandy. Millions of dollars worth of stone
might be dumped there without securing
firm foundation. Pilots declare Cape Henry
the only logical location for Notifications
to protect Washington. Baltimore. Norfolk
and Newport News.

PRAY FOR MIRACLE
VILLAGERS AROUND vEsUyIUS
 ARE PANIC-sTRICkEN.
volcano spoutfng Forth Fire, Rock and Ashes, and stream of Lava 200 Feet Wide Flows Down
 Into Valley.

Naples, April 6.--The inhabitants or the villages in the vicinity of vesuvius are in a condition bordering on panic. Many homes have been abandoned for the open air although there has been a thick fog all day and the atmosphere has been dense with volcanic ashes and the fumes of subterannean fires.
 The churches are crowded day ana night with people praying for delfv- erance from an impending peril, nlani- festations of which are heard and felt in explosions and in trembling of the earth, which are constantly recur- ring.
 The main stream of lava proceeding from Vesuvius is 200 feet wide and it advances at times at the rate of twen- ty-one feet in a minute. the intense heat destroying vegetation before the stream reaches 1t. The peasants of Portici, at the west foot of vesuvius, cleared their grounds of vineyards and trees in the effort to lessen the danger from fire.s and resisted the progress of the lava to their utmost.
 The population of Boscotrecaz on the southern declivity of the mountain. have sought safety in flight and Ros- coreale, to the eastward, is also threat ened. Women of this village. weeping with fright, carried a statue of St. Anne as near as they could go to the flowing lava, imploring a miracle to stay the advance of the sconsuming stream.
 The cemetery at Boscotreaz has been invaded by lava. The scene at night Is one of mingled grandeur and horror, as from tho summit of vesuvius there leaps a column of fire fully a thousand feet in height, the glare lighting the sky and sea for many miles. Occasion ally great masses of molten stone arc elected from the crater.
 The village of Tore del Greco, which has been eight times destroyed and as often rebuilt. is again threatened, and the inhabitants are In extreme terror.
 Signor Matteucci, director of the ob- SC servatory, is working indefatigably. He has had military engineers establish telephonic connection between the ob- servatory and points within the zone ot volcanic activity. The director said to the Associated Press thls evening that although the eruption presented grave menace, he did not believe 1t wodld reach the villages. Indeed. he said. the present volcanic activity was not altogether unmixed with good. for if 1t had not come to pass, violent and sudden eruption having a far wider radius might have occurred.

'DoWIE IS COMING
SAY SHE HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED
 FROM OFFICE.
Ridiculous, Declares the Prophet When Talking of His Deposition By
 Those He Left in Zion City.

Mexico City. April 6.-John Alexan- der Dowie, before leaving last night for Chicago, said. showing deep emo- tion, in reply to the question as to how the revolt in Zion City could be ex- plained.
 .'Now, how am I to explain it? can only explain 1t this way. It Is merely a guess and may be wrong. but I think am right. They, my wife and son, and all of them thought I was going to die and have been deeply dis appointed. Apparently l am going to live and am on my way back home"
 Continuing, he said:
 They have done many things that were not right, not that they were crimes so much as blunders; unwilful departures from my policy. Some of these departures were quite serious. They joined together to try to keep me from going home. I was not go- ing home for two months anyway. but they did not want me then.
 Meanwhile they were fighting Gem eral Oyerseer Lewis and here and Sec retary Wilhite on the Mexican proposi- tion. We were generous to them In every way but they were not generous to us. I loaned them for instance. some resources that I had control of, which came from various parts of the world and gave them money to help them in Zion City.
 T may say that one of the false- hoods they are telling is that I am deeply indebted to my bank. It is not true. I am the largest holder of stock in the bank and when the bank was in need of help I have always been ready to help 1t. may say now open- Iy that what I could have taken from the bank legitlmately I did not take. I left money to my credit and I gave my checks for many things and allow ed them to be charged up to me which made my account look big but which had nothing whatever to do with my personal expenses.
 Now, their purpose has been to throw dust in the eyes of the people and they have succeeded and made them think suddenly that was a cruel tyrant because I did not want this voting man to continue in office. make it a rule of not having incompe- tents in office. l must do that-it is my duty-all business men must, and don't consider him competent man.
 "Today's paper says that am threatened with arrest if dare to go back Back I go, back if die upon the road. You think I am going to aI- low that kind of thing to go on? Ger tainly I will go back. If I have done anything wrong let me be punished They say I have misused funds. If funds arc placed in my hands for a number of years have right to use them. I have S21,OO0.O00 of estate be- hind all obligations of Zion after ev- erything is accounted for. They say that this is one of the reasons why I am removed, so called. Of course I am moi removed. How can they remove me? How could anybody remove the President whom the people put there? If is ridiculous. Nobody less in office can remove one higher in ofice."

OPPOSED TO ARBITRATION.
Believed that it win Be Rejected by
 the Operators.

Philadelphia, April s.-Much import ance is attached to the meeting of in- dependent operators held today in Wilkesbarre. Among the mine work CTS. the impression appears to be grow ing that President MitchelPs arbitra- ton proposition is not altogether ac- ceptable to the operators and the fear is expressed that it may be rejected when the conferees meet in New York next Monday.
 Nothing was made public concerning the meeting of the independent opera tors. Those of the operators in the region who could be induced to com ment on the plan to arbitrate say that the same questions were contained in rhe demands upon which the strike of 1902 was based and that it would bc useless to go over the same ground, as conditions have not changed
 Mine workers generally express the belief that a renewal of the condition boards award is the best that the ope- rators will offer. In view of this be- lief, miners locals throughout the an- thracite field have decided to exert every effort to prevent a resumption of mining until the New York conferees arrive at definite result

ARE HOPEFUL OF A VETO
By Alfred ;. stofer. :.

Washington. April 6.--(speciaL)-- Representative Underwood's bill will be vigorously attacked Rt the White House and its opponents are reported to be hopeful, after The Record is laid be- fore tho President, that he will inter- pose a veto.
 A report, which could not be verified. az in circulation today that Judge Thomas G. Jones was expected to come on and do everything in his power to induce the President to take such ac- tfon. Some of the Alabapians know ing the Judges opposition to the meas ure say they would not be surprised If he were to arrive here within the next few days.
 Renresentatiye Wiley, if he has any information on this particular point. is not inclined to make it public just now. Colonel Wiley of course Is still keep ing F close eye on the situation. He says that he feels he did everything he could to prevent the passage of the bill Lut he was out-voted. He placed in the Congressional Record the teie- graphic protests of Judges Jones and Toulmin. and of the Bar Associations of Montgomery, opelika and other places.
 It is understood that If President Roosevelt should be induced to veto the bill an effort will be made to have the Senate and House overrule his ob- jection. This would require two thirds vote. but Mir. Underwood seems to think the necessary votes could be mustered. Several of his colleagues don't agree with him,
 Fast Mail Item.
 The Alabama delegation will solidly support the fast mail item in the post office appropriation bill now being so vigorously opposed by some of the Southern members of the House. They have for years favored this appropria- ton and believe that 1t Is greatly in the interest of the commerce of their section that the aid for especial mall facilities' should be continued. opin- ion differ as to what the fate of the proposition will he in the House At this writing the two sides to the con- troversy are thought to be pretty even ly divided, if the House knocks out the provisions It's supporters claim 1t will certainly be restored by the Senate.
 Representative William w. Kitchen of North Carolina made a savage speech today against the item. and 1t is feared that he has changed some
