Anna hAn League Resolutions.

New York, Dec. l5.-Magnates of the
National league expected TO conclude all
their unfinished business yesterday and
depart for their homes. That copy
of the declaration of war" Of the Amer
lean league, which some of the baseball
owners humorously call il, will come
officially before the National league is
doubted, as President Lynch and his as.
sociates say they have not received any
communications from the American
league. Ban johnson is said to have
sent copy of the resolution to the
American league, but the resolution must
have been lost en- route.
"Until we officially receive it," said
President Lynch, Il do not think we
wiz discuss it"
The magnates Of the National league
say the resolution does not mean any
thing anyway and there will not be
any war.

RUSSIA STANDS FIRM.
Cannot Encourage the Return of Revolu.
tionaries.

st. Petersburg, Dec. l5.--An interview
with Foreign Minister Sergius Sazonoff
in regard to the claim of the United
States for recognition by Russia of
passports issued to American citizens
Of the Jewish faith was published yes
terday in the Novoe Vremya. The for
eign minister said that the matter did
not directly concern the Russian foreign
Office. Neither the Russian minister of
the interior nor the Russian consuls had
raised any obstacles against the entry
into Russia Of American commercial men
or financiers of the Jewish faith. The
present agitation, however, did not re-
late to that class of persons. Many
agitators, revolutionaries and anarchists,
who We're adherents of the Hebrew re-
ligion, had emigrated to America DUR
ing the recent troubles and it was not,
concluded Mr.. Sazonof, to be expected
that Russia should encourage the re-
turn of these elements.

Most of the chiefs gave up their weap-
ons peaceably, but there has been a
series Of sharp engagements with ban
dts. The casualties among the Amer

New Source Of Food,

In temperate countries little is
known of poi, malange or OTTO, yet the
tubers from which these dishes are
made, all of the aroid family, really
feed as many people numerically as
wheat or rice, it is said. AS a food
staple they are recognized in every Sec
ton Of the tropics, and because more
Of them can be raised to the acre than
potatoes the agricultural department
has been experimenting in the south
ern states with various species of the
aroids, and it has been found that they
can be successfully grown on the low
lands Of almost any character, regard
less Of the quality Of the soil. An acre
produces from fifteen to twenty tons
annually at less expense than a crop
Of potatoes on the same land.
AS a food the aroids are Just as
nourishing as the familiar tuber and
are said to be as good to eat and as
adaptable to various styles of cooking.
There Is no reason why we should not
admit this economic product into our
catalogue of foodstuffs if its culture
works out as successfully as the ex-
perimenters now believe it will.-Chi-
cage Tribune.

and he went to Switzerland. The Rus
sian revolution had broken out, and he
passed sympathizers through Germany
into the cars domains until discov-
cred and extradited. He was con
demned to Siberia, and it was ten
years before he succeeded in effecting
his escape.
Deutsch returned to st. Petersburg
and participated in the revolution, but
a again captured and sent with thir-
ty other political prisoners to Turu-

Gle. But even under these dishearten-

To Prevent Ships RoIIino,

Those who suffer from seasickness
will be pleased to hear that a German
engineer has invented a pitching
Tank which, tried OF two Atlantic
liners, has proved very effectual in re-
ducing the rolling of the ships. The
Berlin Lokalanzeiger states that at the
congress of shipbuilding engineers the
emperor congratulated Herr Frahm,
the inventor of the "pitching tank"
and expressed the hope that the system
would soon be introduced on board all
vessels. Herr Frahm read a paper
demonstrating upon a model the eff
fects Of the invention, which consists
OF O shaped tanks extending from
port to starboard through the hold.
The water in them rises and falls as
the ship rolls, so as to neutralize the
rhythmical movement of the latter.

Four Time Eiuder Of Gear Visits

After thirty-four years of battling
with successive czars Leon Gregorie-
witch Deutsch has concluded that he
will eliminate Russia from his timer
airy for a time and try his luck in
America. This determination is not
caused by his four imprisonments-
two in Russia and two in Siberia-but
for the reason that he desires to start
a Russian newspaper in New York that
will preach the nihilistic cause.
Deutsch is now fifty-fve years of
age, but hardy and willing to risk a
third sentence to Siberia If necessary.
His first trouble with the police was
in 1876 when he was serving in the
army. He was an admirer Of Karl
Marx and was accused by the govern
ment of circulating socialistic propa-
ganda among the soldiers. He was
tried and imprisoned at Kiev. After
a few months Incarceration Deutsch
determined it was time for escape, so
he begged a bath. Guarded by two
soldiers, he was taken to a nearby
bathhouse. where he knew his friends
had secreted clothes nea the pool. he
disrobed before the soldiers, who
watched the clothes and failed to rec
sgnize him when he appeared in dis
guise. Deutsch stayed in Kiev under
an assumed name and a year later
moved to the province Of Poltava,

FOR DAMP WALLS.
Alternate Goats Of Soap and Alum Are
Impervious to Water.

Impervious to Water.
If a wall is suspected of lamDncss
a piece of gelatin held close to it will
tell the story at once. If the wall is
dry the gelatin will not change: if
damp the gelatin will turn or curl
more or less, according to the degree
of dampness: if the wall is very damp
it will need no testing.
One good remedy for a wall not very
damp is a mixture of n pound of
good glue dissolved in one gallon of
water into which, while hot, has been
stirred some dry red lead until the
mass is of the consistency Of ordinary
paint.
The surest and best remedy, accord
ing to the Master Painter, is the Syl-
vester process, as follows: Cut up
three-quarters of a pound of CASTLE
soap into one gallon Of water and dis
solve. Now dissolve half a pound of
pulverized alum in four gallons of
water. With a brush for each solu-
ton, using a wide brush, apply a coat
ing Of the soap solution, rubbing it
we'll into the wall. Let it dry until
next day, then apply a coat of alum
water. Let this dry until next day.
then repeat with the alum and soap
once, as before. Thus the wall will
receive two coats of soap and two of
alum, which will form a chemical COM
pound impervious to water. Very
damp walls treated with this simple
coating will give no trouble under pa
per for years.

Patrolman Smith is possessed of a
