yes,igate the cause of the explosion at
Mammoth Mine on Monday last, arrived
at Mammoth in a special car at noon
yesterday. and at once set about their
work, which will probably require sew.
eral days to complete. The COMMITTEES
is fitted ont with rubber coats, caps and
boots, and, guided by Superintendent
Keighley and Inspector jerks, de.
soended the shaft aud began tour Of
the works.
Entries, headings, manways and rooms
were subjected to the closest scrutiny.
When the "dip" in which the explosion
occurred was reached the committee Sc.
cured number ofrelics. In this pait Of
the mine there ia almost a complete
wreck OF ceilings, wagons, tracks, DC.
The roof Is very dangerous and an ex-
tensiVe fall Is liable to occur any mo-
ment. In general, the mine was In
gsod condition, but in places signs Of
neglect were very apparent. The man
way was excessively hot and the MEM
bers were very glad when they got out.
The theory as to how the explosion
occurred advanced by the committee
was that part OF the roof falling caused
the air and gas to be set In motion; the
latter being forced toward an open light,
exploded This the explorers and min.
ers are inclined TO believe was the cause
Of the disaster That the mine had been
properly inspected by Fire Boss Smith
Is now q matter OF doubt. No date Of
insp ction was found chalked on the
headings, as iR required.
The committee spent Sunday in
Gfeenshurg, returning on Monday to
take testimony,
Representative Ellwood said tonight
that he thought that q commission Of
eight miners, four operators and four
inspectors would be appointed, and that
the present mining laws will be revised.
No bodies we're discovered to-day. It
ia almost certain that there are at least
four miners covered by the debris. The

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The JounaEdss Debats
commenting on the ministerial crisis il
Italy, says: eve do not expect the for
eign policy Of Italy Of the last eigh,
ysars will perish with the retirement oi
signor Crispi, although the next Cabi-
net will assuredty profit by the lesson
and promote gaOd relations with
France"
The Republiqe Francaise says: "No
Minister'S overthrow was ever more log
ically brought about. Signor Crispi's
incurable self.Conceit in thinking that
he ought to remain at the bead of the
Government rendered his fall newt
able"
The Lanterne rejoices at the downfall
OF Siguor Orispi, saying: "Frenchmen
and Italians now clasp hands sincerely"
The Steele says: The fall OF Signor
Crispi means the disappearance of one
OF the worst embarrassments in the
maintenance OF an European peace.
The Figaro says; With Signor Crispi
the last statesman in the triple alliance
disappears. This is the only side OF the
matter that concerns France.
The Moniteur does not share the Joy OF
the Parlsian Republican press at the
Italian Premier's resignation. II says
that King Humbert is reluctant to part
with signor Crispi, and that whether or
not he remains at the head OF affairs in
Italy, there will be no change in the
Italian foreign policy.
