SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 29.-The acci-
dental explosion of 1,500 pounds OF
black powder in the corning mil OF
the powder works near here to-day
caused the instant death of two en-
ployes, Joseph Steiner and Lars Laske'
the latter being better known as T.
Larsen. Their bodies were padiy
burned, but not greatly dlsngureo-
Steiner had one leg broken.
The building, which was OF WOOD
with an iron roof, and had stood for
tlairty-five years, was completely oe-
molished.
Although the Coroner's jury TINS
evening declared that the cause or the
accident was unknown, it is supposed
to have been caused by heat generated
by the friction of the heavy rollers.
The powder is brought in cakes TO the
corning mill, where it is sifted INTO
fine grains Shortly before the explo-
sion 2, 700 pounds Of powder had oeen
removed from the building when was

NOT KILLED BY INDIANS.
The Crew of the Schooner Bowhead
Heard From.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-Mate
John Widdeson and Seamen Charles
Sand and Joseph Reed of the schooner
Bowhead, who left that vessel on July
18th in a small boat to take Soundings
at the mouth of the Kuskokwim River,
in Alaska, and were supposed to have
been killed by Indians, have been heard
from.
According to letter received by the
Alaska Commercial Company from Ed
ward Lind, a trader, the three missing
men are alive and we'll at Quinehaga-
NUT, a camp about 100 miles up the
KuskokWim River. From this place
they can reach the Yulton in five or
six days, and thence make their way
to st. Michael. 1t is Believed, how
ever, that there is scarcity of sup
plies in the camp where they are
located.
After they had landed, their vessel
the Bowhead, was driven to sea By
stress of weather. The men waited q
month for its return, and though it did
try to find them, they were unaware of
the fact, and made their way up the
river, until friends were found.

AFFAIRS IN SAMOA.
Native Judges to Try Cases
Between the Natives.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-Late Off
cial advices frbm Samoa contain ac-
counts of recent meetings of the pro-
vlsional city government at Apia, at
which steps were taken to have native
Judges try cases between natives. and
native officials ITO solemnize marriages
and keep records of property owned by
the Samoans. Two Judges, Tagoa and
Toomata, were chosen, one being an
adherent of the former King, Malietoa,
and the other a Mataafan.
The provincial authorities settled the
claim of the heirs of the late Malietoa
Lieupepa, and rejected the clan of the
Secretary of tie late Samoan govern
ment.
Captain Preedy of the British ship
Torch was given several warrants
against natives for capital crimes,
which will be turned over to Chief
Lauati for execution.
The proceedings indicate an entirely
pacific condition of affairs on the ISL
and. m
