From your friend, Betty E. Mason. To Return to Tlieir Desks* neaft.y ai.l the stttexts of the college of fharmacy going back to their places. Only about Ave of the thirty students who left the National college of Pharmacy last Thursday, on account of the admittance of a colored man to the class, returned to their desks last night. The revolting students went to the hall In a body, but lingered ^J>out the door until the lecture was over. There were very few students in attendance at the lecture, but At wood, the colored man, was present, and expresses his determination to continue j through tin- course. After the lecture, the students held a noisy meet- : ing In the class room. A motion for the class to act wiih the majority was lost, and a resolution advising each member to act ior himself was adopted, and it was understood, at the adjournment, that all the students, probably with the exception of two, would return to the school at the n<-xt lecture, Thursday. Before adjourning it was decided to present. Mr. YV. s. Thompson With alloral token of their esreem, fr?r his support of their cause before the board of trustees. Transfers of Real Estate.

Wnlsli and the Star Itoute Cases. CONDITIONS UPON WIIICII HE WILL APPEAR AS A WITNESS TOK TIIE GOVERNMENT. John A. Walsh, well-known In connection with the star route cases, has furnished the press with the copy of a letter he addressed to the President a month ago, t o which he st ates he has received no reply. In this letter he recites the fact that he appeared before the grand jury here as a witness against Hon. \V. r. Kellogg, whose case on the resulting indictment had been fixed for hearing on the 10th inst. It having been surmised by some of the prosecuting officers that Mr. Kellogg would plead lii3 privilege ?is a member of the House of Kepre- | sentatlves, which will then be in session it was deemed advisable to have an earlier date fixed, and conferences were sought with Walsh to arrange for tlif preparation of the case. These were refused by Walili upon the ground that the government had not protected him from the attacks of the defendants and i lie newspapers influenced by them for his enforced attendance upon the witness stand, lie concludes as follows: "If my presence as a witness on behalf of tho T*n ted stat'-s In its eases against Thomas J. Brady and Wm. l'ltt Kellogg Is deemed of sufliclent importance by you to give your assent to the following requests, I will hold such conferences with the prosecution as are proper, and will appear as a witness in response to a subpoena: "First?Mr. Merrick or Mr. Kerto appear before the present grand jury of the District of Columbia, with the view of prosecuting Indictments against Wm. Dickson for slander and against George C. Gorhain, of the Xittimutl Ilcpnblican, and A. C. Bueli et al., of the Critic, for criminally libeling me in the matter of tlie Bennerclaim. "Second?That you request Attorney General Brewster to answer my letter of inquiry addressed him, dated September 25, 1883, touching a letter written by him to the Secretary of the Navy, W. E. Chandler, concerning me. "Third?Your assurance that the government will protect me as a witness. By protection I do not mean physically, as I can do that myself. I mean that protection from slander and libel vvhlch the law entitles me to as a witness. "Fourth?The assurance that Mr. George Bliss will not represent the government in its actions against Thomas J. Brady and William Pitt Kellogg. "Believe me, Mr. President, if I thus address you. it is because experience 1ms taught me that no projier remedy will be accorded me elsewhere. When you reflect, sir, that the accused (Kellogg) proclaims his intention of placing on the witness stand a member of your Cabinet to discredit the prosecution's own witness by having him recite the language used concerning the said witness by another member of your Cabinet, to wit: the Attorney General Of the I nittfl Stnfpa 1? It lint time that f should know definitely whether or not lam to have the moral and legal support of the government?" The New English Hangman Not Up to Sncff. Blnns, the hangman, or "Butcher" Blnns, as he Is called, did a most bungling piece of work at liverpool yesterday. A man named Button was executed. He struggled In a most horrible manner for two minutes, and his pulse beat eight minutes after the drop fell. The doctors who were present denounce 15!fins' system, and say it Is entirely opposed to the practice of Mar wood, his successful predecessor. The scientists join with the doctors. Iilnns believes In the methods formerly practiced by Calcraft, now considered obsolete. F. C. Mason, of Cleveland, O., has in his possession a watch on whose dial twenty-four hours are marked Instead of the usual twelve. And the Lt ndrr of that city gives the following Interesting account of Its origin: Mr. Mason's uncle, CoL (J. W. Mason, was in command of a regiment of soldiers stationed at Harper's Ferry In 1864. The commanding general ordered him to move at 4 o'clock a certain day and attack the enemy. The order simply said 4 o'clock, and Col. Mason, thinking it meant 1 o'clock In the afternoon, marched forward at that hour and began killing on the rebels. The Union soldiers, however, were defeated, and the commanding officer was court-martialed for not ordering Mason and his men to the front at an earlier hour. Mason said the order read 4 o'clock and he moved accordingly. The commanding ofilcer said he meant 4 a. m., Instead of p. in., and, there being a clear misunderstanding, the charge was withdrawn. Col. Mason afterward sent to an eastern factory and had made a twenty-four o'clock watch, which he said would do away with all mistakes and which he curried during the remainder of the w ar.'' * ? ? ?? Tns American Bishops in Rome.?A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Koine states that, while the council bet ween the American bishops and the papal propaganda has closed, the bishops still remain In session for the consideration of certain side issues. it may be stated, however, upon j authority, that no new laws have been adopted, and thv subject of a nuncio to the United States! lias not b. cn considered, and there w ill cert ainly be no American council until 1885, when, if it be found ! expedient, an apostolic delegate will lie sent to I represent the holi see, upon the suggestion of the American bishops.
