Prime Min Zhu Rongji makes highly unusual nationally televised apology to people of China for deadly schoolhouse explosion in rural Jiangxi Province, and softens earlier denials that children at school were making fireworks; says he has ordered high-level investigation; government's attempts to contain conflicting accounts of blast were undermined by citizens' rapidly spreading access to Internet and other information channels and by increasingly self-assertive press; explosion killed 42 people, 38 of them children aged 9 to 11 years old; local government had announced that deranged suicide bomber was responsible for blast; bereaved parents and surviving students unanimously rejected this, saying children were forced to make fireworks at school; attempted media blackout only fueled speculation that there was coverup reaching into central government; photo (M)
