Lafmonth and others interested In the manufacture of carbide rather scoffed at Mr. Lang's evidence and experiments, as they claimed the conditions were In ho way similar and that, the carbide that was generate mas mlneled with the several particulars at the suggestion of members of the committee. The Chiefs Evidence. Chief Provost gave evidence that he had visited the wreck of. the works yesterday.

He could form, he said, no idea of the origin of the fire. But the floor needed to be shored up te-fore a proper examination could be made, as now there'' is an immediate danger of the ceiling collapsing because the rafters have been almost iburued through. Also there, are many heavy patterns and some lumber stored above on the Insecure-floor.

Lang was then-recalled. A great many of the Questions di rected at this witness were abo.it his theory of -the explosion. Aid. Lang if course' thinks, as he tried to demonstrate, that the explosion came from the gas being lighted at the furnace. Aid.

Lang was the chief, almost the only exponent of this theory. Wss There a Flash The chief Point brought nut in th have said that they noticed any dash. and this is a point in favor of the theory 'that the explosion was caused by the. steam in the crucible. i Some of -those present at the moment of the casualty may be reexamined as to the question of whether there was a flash or not.

Mr. S. H. Fleming' said positively that he saw no flash at the time of the explosion, tia was near the build- Ing and looking at It. Thin evidence Is important as tending to 'now there was no gas explosion, Gas Always makes a perceptible flash, interesting Statistics t.
