BIG FIRE IN VATICAN.

Rome, Nov. 2.-Fire broke out at

the vatican containing the Hall of In
scriptions," where the pope gives his
audience and which is adjacent to the
famous "Pinacoteca," or Gallery of
Pictures" The alarm caused much con-
fusion and excitement in the vatican.
Strenuous efforts were made to con-
troll the flames and the fremen of
Rome were called to lend their help.
At 11:15 p. m. the fire was under con-
troll. No lives were lost
The entire museum of inscriptions,
the rooms of Father Ehrle, part of the
library and the printing houses were
entirely flooded with water. 1t is i'm
possible to reach even an approximate
idea of the extent of the damage. Many
articles were saved, including some an
Gent and very valuable arms, which
were recently moved to the library room
from the Borgia apartment in order to
make room for the new residence of the
papal secretary of state. Many things
that escaped the flames were injured by
water, especially the precious private
library of Pope Leo, which Father Ehrle
had been arranging in accordance with
the last wish of the late pontiff.
