DEATH LIST
STILL GROWS.
TWO MORE OF MIssouRrs CREW
DEAD.
CAUSED BY BLOW BACK.
Turret Experts Give Their Opinion
Concerning the ExpIosion-Presi-
dent Heads Relief Fund.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1.-Two more
ordinary seamen who were injured in
the terrible explosion on board the
battleship Missouri yesterday at tar
get practice are dead. One died about
midnight and the other today, after
terrible suffering. There is also one
man of the turret crew missing from
the ship. 1t is the general opinion
that he was either blown, overheard
or else escaped from the turret and
jumped overheard, being crazed with
rain and the excitement that prevail
ed on the ship.
Blow Back the Cause.
Expert turret officials of the vessels
in port say the explosion was the re-
suit of a blow back, known as the
wind blowing the flames back from
the muzzle of the gun and through the
open breach, thus igniting the charge
being hoisted. Captain Cowles and
Lieutenant Hammer, the ordnance Off
Ger, had taken extra precautions
against such an accident, realizing
that such cases occur, and for three
days no firing with the large pieces
was done on account of the wind being
off shore.
Deemed Safe to Fire.
Finally yesterday the wind shifted
and it was deemed safe to commence
the firing. Lieutenant Hammer had
remained in the turret watching the
firing until the first string Of shots
had been fired in rapid succession.
He thought from his observations
that it vas safe to allow the contin-
uation of rapid firing, and left to
consult with the taget expert on this
matter. Only three shots of the sec.
ond string had been fired when the
explosion occurred.
Fire May Have Been Left.
So rapidly was the gun being fired
that it is thought some of the fire re-
manned in the barrel and that when
powder was hoisted it ignited. Officers
Of the vessel differ in their opinions as
to the cause of the explosion, but it is
probable the exact cause will never be
known, as there were no survivors
among the turret crew.
The board of inquiry which was con-
vened last evening is still in session,
and will not come to a finding for
several days.

LITTLE TIME FOR ACTION
Rush Of Business in Closing Hour
Likely to Prove Dangerous
to Measure.

If the bill for opening a portion OF
the Grow reservation manages to re-
ceive the approval of both houses OF
congress during the present session
the people of this section may on
slider themselves fortunate. Indica-
lions from Washington according to
dispatches from there, are that sew
eral members wish to discuss at length
certain features of pending Indian leg
islation and if much debate is injected
into the various bills before congress
touching Indian affairs then the matter
of the passage of the Grow and other
reservation measures will be surround
ed with more or less doubt.
While not as yet officially an
nounced, it is strongly intimated that
congress will adjourn in about two
weeks and, as is usually the case,
there are several hundred bills on the
calendar of the two branches of CON
gress which are being pressed for
recognition. Meritorious as several
Indian reservation segregation meas
ures may seem, and which would no
doubt receive the support of a large
majority in both houses, should the
friends of the measures be able to
bring the pending legislation to a
vote, the fact should not be lost sight
of that many other matters important
to the constituents of scores of mem
bers are being crowded to the front at
the closing days of congress. The
Grow bill as we'll as the bill for the
OPENING of a part of the tlathead
reservation in the western part of the
state may be lost at the very closing
hours Of congress.
Readers of The Gazette will remem-
Der that some valuable time was lost
on the Grow Measure a month or
more ago when it was held up in the
senate awaiting the presence of Sen
ator Clark, who was absent from the

interest in securing the opening of the
reservation on the most favorable
terms possible for the settlers and
after it was found that the Dixon
bill al it passed the house would
have to be amended to satisfy certain
eastern opposition, Senator Clark felt
as though he should have a hand in
preparing the senate amendments.
The amendments in the senate will
no doubt receive the approval of the
conference committee that may be ap-
pointed later, but whether congress
will remain in session long enough to
allow the measure to pass through the
final stages is somewhat of a question.
The Montana delegation in congress
has been active all winter in an effort
to secure the passage of the Crow bill,
and Representative Dixon has especial
ly been on the alert to take advantage
OF every condition to keep the meas
ure before the committee and the
house. He went rel so far as to
seek the aid OF the president, some
thing that is rarely resorted to, ex-
