Naples, April 1.-THE whole of
the vesuvius district as far as Naples,
Caserta and Castellammare is one
vast saharian desert. Reports from
,ides state that the fall cf ashes
is not 50 heavy as it has been for
the last few days and that the ashes
are much finer, and from his it is
argued that prospects a much
brighter. The blockade of 'al t. af-
tic continues but service on lie main
lines of railway has beel rees-
tablished although greatly disarranged
by the indescribable confusion in the
stations.
Yesterday was a disquieting day in
Naples. People, alarmed by what has
happened, have deserted their shops,
and the manufactures are nearly all
closed. Crowds are in temper for
any excess. 1t would only require a
spark to start a confagration
The arrival of King Victor Emman-
uel and Queen Helena has done much
to restore calm. Both the royal pal
aces of Cappodimenti and San Fer
nando have been given up to refu-
gees.
Robert Underwood Johnson, associ-
ate editor of the Century Magazine,
who has been an eye witness Of the
events here the last few days, said
last night to the Associated Press:
Each day it bcomes more impossi-
BILE to visit even at distance the af-
hicted districts. The ashes have
reached preposterous proportions,
filter into everything, block trains,
trans, automobiles, carriages and
horses, only the soldiers seem to over
come the obstruction. Before the in
terruption I took a train for Tore
Annunziata. On arriving at Tore Del
Greco the heavens seemed to open
and We were soon half-buried in ashes
and hot cinders. The train drew up
in total darkness, relieved only by
lightning flashes. Thus we waited
events. Soon the darkness took pur-
pie and yellow tinges, the detonations
became louder than the loudest thun-
derclap and the ashes burnt our
eyes 1t was a perfect picture of
Dante's inferno. The train could not
proceed so thick were the ashes on
the track, and just at this point the
train broke in half and the poor wo'
men fugitives, thinking they were
about to lose their lives, began to
chant litanies for the dead, giving a
last weird touch to the internal scene.
"Carbineers came to our rescue and
proposed to take us to the sea. We
then fornd that we were on a bridge
with the sea on one side and Tore
Del Greco on the other hand. In the
darkness we descended hand in hand,
forming a human rope. and false
step would have meant death. The
port was SO choked with ashes that
small boats could not navigate.
YEARLY we trudged back to the
station to find that there was no
prospect of another train. We had
then been FIVE hours in that plight
so, seeing that heroic measures were
necessary, with a companion,
trudged miles in two or three feet of
ashes to Portici, where, finally, We
found cab which brought us 10

made at midnight that the whole
controversy will probably be settled

anxious for an amicable adjustment

which lasted until midnight.
Earlier in the evening a statement
had been given out from Dowie's
apartments that the whole matter
would be thrown into the courts today
for settlement, but after the consulta-
ton with Wetten there seemed to be
a sudden change in the warlike atti-
tude and it was announced that both
sides probably would be willing to of
fer such concessions that there would
be no necessity TO resort to the
courts

Referring to a threat which it is as
serted Gladstone Dowie made, intimat-
ing that if his father did not cease in
his remarks upon Mrs. Dowie, he
would reveal certain things said to
have occurred in 1877, Dowie said he
remembered nothing that occurred in
1877 which should cause him to be
afraid. There is one thing, now
ever, that happened in 1877, which
greatly regret and that is that the
Lord gave unto me a son, whom
named Gladstone Dowie.' He add
ed: ''Now l want TO say that unless
this young man ceases making these
threats and insiuuations, will be
forced to reveal his true character to

N FIRST RANKS OF THE ELITE

The Washington Post says:
''The great speech of Joseph w.
Bailey in the Senate on the rate
bill puts him in the first rank of
the elite of American constitution
al lawyers" The Chicago Trib-
une says: "Senator Bailey, of
Texas, is a great constitutional
lawyer. He has no superior in the
Senate. He established his claim
to the title this week when he sig
nalIy discounted in argument Sen
ators Spooner and Knox, who have
been regarded as oracles of the
law. The man who can put them
to rout as Senator Bailey did has
fixed his position as constitutional
authority" Senator Bailey is a
student. He has done something
more than study how to win votes
or to please the populace with
cheap campaign oratory. Years
of application and thoughtful
study are necessary in the making
of an able lawyer or capable leader
on great issues.
