 LONDON, Oct. 9.--Balfour in letter to the Central News says that while there is serious failure of the potato crop in portions of Ireland, the Gov, ernment poor department will be amply able to take care of those in distress without outside assistance.
 MT. Balfour's statement was issued as the result of pressure from his friends, who desired to use it as cue for cam paign work. MT. Balfour is expected to go into the matter more in detail in his Forthcoming speeches. I. may therefore be taken as settled that the Government officially rejects the idea that any distress exists except such as can be alleviated easily and by ordi- nary measures.

THE POWDER EXPLOSION. y
Vorkmen Busy Clearing Away the Rsasa
 Correct List of the Dead.

Workmen Busy Clearing Away the Fsuge
 Correct List of the Dead.
 WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 9.-Work of clearing away the ruins caused by the powder explosion is being pushed for ward as rapidly as possible. The de struction in the neigh borhood is almost complete, and the only wonder is that so many people escaped.
 Charles Dupont, one ot the younger members of the firm, said that it was i'm possible to give clear statement of the disaster. There had been seven explosions, and about half dozen of the twenty buildings in the upper yard had gone up. The only people who could give any account of the affair, he said, were dead "All the members of our family" he said, 'twere cut more or less. but none were seriously in- jured."
 Joseph A. Buck of Rockland was an eye witness of the explosion. s'While was looking at some men handling kegs of powder,n said he, 1T felt the earth slipping from under me. I be- held sheets of flame and vast clouds of smoke. Reports like the firing os thousands of cannon followed in quick succession. High masses-buildings and earth-were thrown hundreds of feet in the air. Their fall was accom- panied by fearful crashes. From where Istood it was impossible to tell in what order the mills were blown up, but it was the big middle magazine building that exploded first. I rushed to the nearest tree and hid myself from the destruction. The tree shook as if in urricane. Iheard the sound of some heavy material fall to the ground. l looked twenty yards ahead of me and saw 8 stone, no doubt part of the foundation of one of the buildings. It was about two feet long and foot wide. The distance from where I stood to the scene of destruction was about mile. I was half blinded and choked by the smoke"

BASEBALL CONFERENCE.

Will the Meeting To-day in New York
 Bring About m Compromise.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The conferences of baseball men at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day will, it is thought, reach an agreement that will har monize the game next season. All the League clubs have representatives in attendance and the American Association and Broth erhood have delegates within easy reach in case their services are needed By this means all unnecessary delays will be avoided and the work of the conference expedited. Few of the mag mates expect to see the compro mise effected at the present session, but within another week they are confident that steps to accomplish this purpose will be under way.
 From what conld be learned from the gossip in the hotel corridor before the conference was begun it seemed that the majority of the League and the Players were opposed to the con- avoiding of conflicting schedules will enable them both to live, but it will never revive local interest. The patron age would be just as evenly divided as this season. There is therefore only one real way ont. and that is through the consolidation of the three organ nations and the reconstruction of the circuits.
 The subject has to be handled very delicately, and while 6 few of the League men still favor the continua- tion of hostilities the majority of them are weary of the war. On the other hand the Players gre most consider ate in their talk of the compromise. Even Ward, who was so opposed to playing with the men who deserted the Broth erhood at the beginning of the season, said to-day that this should not prevent tha settIenent of the dff4icultv
