It Is Impossible to reach even an approximate idea of the extent of the damage. Many things that escaped the flames were Injured by -water. SHOOK IS TERRIBLE Mayor and Minister of Justice Enter Doors cf Palace and Take Per sonal Charge of Flame Quenching. 1 - ROME, Nov. 1 Fire broke out at 8:30 tonight in that portion of the Vatican containing the hall oQ Inscription, where the pope gives his audiences and which is adjacent to the famous plnacoteca or gallery of pictures. Thevalarm caused much confusion and excitement in the "Vatican. , Strenuous efforts wore made to control the flames and the firemen of Rome were called to lend their help. At 11:15 the lire was under control. No lives were lost. No idea of the damage can yet be obtained. The pope came to the scene in person and remained 'until the arrangements to fight the fire were made. The fire caused a greater sensation in Home than any event since the death of Pope Leo. The safety of the pope was the first thought in every one's mind, but this was soon assured, "tt'hen the pontiff arrived at the scene he ordered every qne to assist in extinguishing the flames. The first intimation of fire was had when smoke was seen issuing from the apartment of M. Mario, which Is located above that of the librarian. M. Marie Is a celebrated French restorer of ancient -manuscripts and illuminated books. He is at present engaged in copying a work and his first productions have been se lected for part of the, Vatican exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. The famous Bramante staircase leads to that part of the Va'tlcan where the fire broke out The gendarmes broke In the doors of M. Marie's apartment and found 2jlm in a heavy sleep. It is supposed he retired and forgot to take proper precau tions with his kitchen fire, which prob ably blazed up and ignited -some near-by draperies. The fire started and it rapidly assumed such proportions that the gendarmes who were the first on the scene gave an immediate general alarm. The whole palace awoke to instant life. The Swiss guard, the papal firemen, gendarmes, priests and domestics all rushed hither and thither in ignorant confusion, asking what was the matter, no one knowing where or what the danger was, or what to do. News of the fire was immediately con veyed to the pope, who was found-kneeling in his chapel for his usual evonlng prayer. He Insisted on going at once to the scene, notwithstanding the fact that he was begged to think first of his own safety. The moment he arrived his mind grasped the gravity of the situation, and ho ordered that the firemen of Rome be called. This was done by telegraph. The firemen arrived in about 10 minutes and it took four engines some time to find the best way to get sufficient water supply with which to fight the fire. The pope withdrew as soon as he saw that everything possible was being done. The information had been sont to the Italian authorities. They were courte ously Invited to enter and did so. There fore, for the first time since the fall of the powor of the Vatican, the Mayor of Rome and even SIgnor Ronchette, the newly appointed Minister of Justice, en tered the Vatican In their official capaci ties. They gave orders directing the work and participated personally1 in the fight. At a little after 11 o'clock the fire was nndor control, but the work of the fire men will continue for some time. The en time museum of inscriptions, the rooms of the Hbrar?anTpart of the library and the printing houses were ontlroly flooded with MRS. BOOTH-TUCKER'S HTNERAL Great Congregation Weeps In Sym pathy With Commander. 2tEW YORK, Nov. L Funeral services o-ior the remains of Emma Booth-Tucker, consul of the Salvation Army in America, were held this afternoon in Carnegie Hall. The auditorium was filled to overflowing and hundreds of persons who had been unable to gain entrance waited in the streets until the ceremonies had been concluded, that they might file past and look upon the face of the dead Salvation ist. The services, which were conducted by Colonel E. J. Higgins, chief secretary of the Salvation Army in America, were most impressive, and consisted of a musical programme made up of the favor ite hymns of the dead woman and by eulogies of her life and of the good she had done for mankind. The grief of Commander Booth-Tucker was most poig nant, and as he knelt by the bier cobbing, the greater, part of the vast congregation wept with hjm. , General fijjUlington Booth, of the Volun teers of America, did not remain for the memorial services. According to his sec retary he had endeavored to arrange for a family gathering and short privato services in Carnegie Hall before tho pub lic funeral took place. General Booth ar rived at the hall three-quarters of an hour ahead of time, and waited for the family gathering, but learning that it would no take place he left, saying that he did not care to stay for the public services. Herbert Booth, his brother, who was formerly Commander-in-Chief of tho Sal vationists in Australia, at the request of the General, remained to represent the family, and If possible to say a few words to the audience. Herbert Booth twice asked permission from Commander Booth- Tucker to speak, but each time it was re fused. Commissioner Eva Booth was to have spoken, but was too overcome by grief to do so. At the close of the services, how ever, she rendered a prayer. Cablegrams were read from General William Booth and Chief Bramwell Booth, of the Inter national, headquarters, London, at the funeral. The ceremonial partook somewhat of tho character of a military funeral. Tho pro cession moved down the aisle, led by two standard-bearers carrying whlto satin streamers, and followed by the members of the general staff. Preceding the casket was Colonel Higgins. Commander Booth Tucker and his seven children followed the casket. The Commander occupied tho center of the stage during the services. After the Carnegie Hall services the rel atives, wer.e aken to tha Salvation Army barracks, where the regular Sunday night memorial exercises were held. Two Cars of Dynamite Ex plode at Crestline.

"The statements widely circulated to tho effect that Ave United States Senators and a large number of Representatives were Implicated and the land Involved will reach In value $15,000,000, are with out foundation.

(Correspondence of the Associated Presfc.J The correspondent of tho Associated Press has received Infor mation from some of the leading diplo matic authorities showing that the gravity of the Russo-Japanese situation has not been exaggerated in cablegrams from Jap an. There Is prevalent, however, a strong desire In Japan to preserve peaco If only that course be made possible. Without divulging the names of tho authorities who have communicated their views on the situation, it may be said that the Idea of the existence of a "war party," so called In Japan, Is wrong, and that the Emperor, the Cabinet and his advisers are all In favor of an honorable compro mise of the difficulty. But It Is argued that the conflict between Russla,whlch has been described as the "new America," and Japan for the mastery of the Pacific must assuredly come and must Inevitably leave a greater forthcoming conflict between Russia and the United States, unless somo halting ground of Russian expansion be found. Japan Is convinced that the first halting ground should ber Manchuria, and, falling that, that It must bo Corea. There is undoubtedly a strong feeling In Japan that If Russia be allowed to overrun Manchuria and also overrun Corea the knell of the empire will havo been sounded. Thereupon, while willing to compromise on a basis fxy the perma nent open door in Manchuria, the reten tion of Manchuria by China as an Integ ral part of her kingdom, and tho absolute Integrity of Corea, Japan is not prepared to go further. The present prospects are for continued negotiation, but in the outlying district the situation is liable to get out of hand and a hostile crisis be precipitated at any time. In the meantime disturbing rumors of Russian movements, following nonevacuatlon on October 8 In defiance of the treaty, continue to unsettle trade. The Japanese authorities have taken precautions to be In readiness for any pos sible contingency, while holding confer ences with the executive departments and at the same time refraining from such aggresslvo action as characterizes tho operations of Russians at the front. ted, when ho told Dr. Wentz that his sor was alive and well, and that he had beenT authorized to say that for I10W0O youn; Wentz. who was then In handueffs In the Cumberland Mountains, would bo deliv ered to the family unharmed.
