PRESIDENT Said TO HAVE
SENT LETTER TO POPE
Mart nelli Stated to Have
Carried Epistle.
Princely Honors for Governor Taft
Believed Bishop Mcdonnell Will
Become Archbishop.

ROME. May SILT is stated that Car
dinal Martinelli brought with him to
Rome an autograph letter from Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the Fope. The belief
that Bishop Mcdonnell, of Brooklyn. will
be made the archbishop of the diocese of
New York. is strengthened by the fact
that he is remaining in Rome at the re-
quest of the Pope, although he had made
all arrangements for returning to Brook
lYn.
Faiconi for Envoy.
Cardinal Hartinelli is strongly adyo-
eating the transfer of Monslgnor Fall
coni from Canada to Washington as the
Papal envoy. 1t is not probable. how
ever. that either the appointment of new
delegate or the archbishop CT the New
York diocese will be officially announced
until some time after the June consis
tory.
The commissioners who are consult
ing with the Pope in regard to church
property in the Philippines have been
having busy time in Rome. despite the
delay In Governor Taft's arrival. II is
understood that the ground has been
cleared OF good deal of detail, and
that an early settlement is probable.
The Pope has decided that Governor
Taft Is entitled to the same honors that
are usually paid by the Vatican to
prince of reigning house.

4 FIRE TWO NILES LONG.
Electric Pyrotechnics Lights Up the
Bronr-FSremen Injured.

An electric fire two miles long in The Bronx
last night brought out thousands OF spectators.
The insulation of the main feed wire for the
electric trolley cars by the West Farms
power house caught fire under the One-hun-
Observation-Disclosures station of the ele-
waited road, where nearly every car in The Bronx
passes and the flame set fire to the elevated
road and then ran along Merose avenue and
e-hundred-and-sixty-fir to Park ave-
The reserves of the Morrisiania station
prevented people from walking under the wire
The display was one of the strangest and
yet most beautiful ever seen in The Bronx.
There was a splutter, flash of blue flame, and
then began a startling exhibition of pyrotech-
MICS Every car in The Bronx fed by the West
Farms power house stopped running
The flashes shot out like sheet lightning, only
much more vivid. AS the wires fell they scat
tered like molten precious metal These sheets
shot I'D all the way through Melrose-ave. for
a. mile The flames at One-hundred -and-sixty-
f1rst-st took sudden turn into that street.
and the display continued.
At Park-ave the fire stopped. 1t burned for
fifteen minutes, and huge drops of liquid fire
fell into the street, flowed here and there and
then disappeared.
Policeman Damn, of the Morrisania station,
was the only person hurt A piece Of the fire
fell on his neck No electric shock accom-
panied it.
The display lasted about half an hour. Though
the flames were BLUSH they reflected red glow,
and 1t looked to people in the upper part of the
borough as if the lower end of the district We're
afire.
Engine Company No. Al turned out Firemen
held a hoseline, sending a stream against the
flames under the elevated road station AS
soon as the stream of water hit the electric
flame it established connection, and the cur
rent shot down the stream of water to the hre-
men. They fell senseless They were carried
into a saloon, and soon revived.
Barrels of sand were rolled up to the station
platform The fire had attacked some OF the
ties. and men poured the sand In pals on the
fire until it was out.
The wires cannot be used until again 1nsu-
