In order to prevent further danger
from leakage to the interior as we'll as
the exterior of Grants tomb it has
been decided to render the monument
waterproof, and the work of preserVa-
ton is already under way. The sys-
tenn used is Identical with that en-
ployej in saving the Obelisk in Cen
trail Park. 1t consists in filling all the
pores and interstices of the stone with
paraffin, which is unaffected either by
acids, by alkalies, by water, or by the
gases in the atmosphere. The melting
point of parOffin wax is about 140 de-
grees Fahrenheit, so the stone. to I'M
dergO the waterproofing, must be
heated by hot compressed air to a
temperature a little above this. The
paraffin wax is then melted and
sprayed over the surface, and this
coating is finally driven by compressed
air into the pores of the stone to a
depth Of about a quarter Of an inch. 1t
is estimated that by means of this
treatment stone may be kept in a state
of excellent preservation for hun
dred years or more.

FOUGHT OUT BY HANsBRoUGH.
North Dakota Senator Opposes Plan
Proposed by Secretary Shaw.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 12.-
tive Lowering of Massachusetts had
long conference with Secretary Shaw
today about the new drawback regula-
lions which the secretary is consider
ing.
Senator Hansbrough stated his op-
position to the proposed regulations,
covered briefly in an interview with
him in a recent dispatch to The Jour-
nal. He says that if the millers are al
lowed to import Canadian wheat and
mix it with the domestic product and
export the flour and get drawbacks,
it will injure the North Dakota far
mers and lessen the price of their
product. The senator combatted the
statements made in the preliminary re-
port of Special Agent Kemp to the
effect that much of the wheat in Min
nesota elevators was shriveled. He
told the secretary that he would let
the millers have all the No 1 hard
wheat they wanted from North Da-
kota at current prices, and said that
it was not necessary to adopt any
more liberal drawback regulations than
are now in force because the millers
do not need any relief
Representative Lowering, who is the
author of several drawback bills, ia
vored the proposed revision Of the
regulations and urged the secretary to
make them as liberal as possible.
Information was given out late to-
day by an advocate of the liberalizing
drawback regulations, that Secretary
Shaw would within few days, prob
ably tomorrow, issue an order making
most sweeping changes in the present
drawback regulations, especially in
their application to the drawback on
wheat. These new regulations will be
issued as a result Of the recent inves-
cations of Special Agent Kemp.
