Two women, Nine. Brayi of Mon

were overcome by smoke and per-
ished.
Killed by Falling Roof.
Two policemen and two commons
attendants were working in the cham,
Der below the speakers quarters when
the roof fell. They are declared to
have been killed.
Preceded by Explosion.
1t has been established that the
first burst Of flames in the reading
room of the House of Commons was
preceded by at least n explosion
and probably by two.
The force of the conclusion was so
severe that persons standing some
distance away were hurled to the
floor.
A rigid investigation to determine
the cause of the fire already has been
undertaken by the Dominion authori-
ties.
The loss cannot be estimated i IN
money. The building was valued at

are of inestimable value. There was
