The Star Route Cases-Walsh's Testi-
 mony Admitted After a Stubborn
 Fight by the Defense-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, July 21.-All argument hay ing been closed in the criminal court upon the question of the adnaissibility of the evidence of the witness Walsh, Judge Wylie this morning delivered his decision upon that inn portant subject. He began with the state ment that the question of the admission Of this evidence was one of great difficulty and of importance to the case. After full state. ment of the law in the case and quoting some authorities Judge Wylie stated that he was of The opinion that the evidence offered was ad- missible, but az to the offer, it went to show that only Brady was in the habit of extorting and receiving money from parties. Now it seemed by no means strained construction that if the facts set out in the offer were tes- tifed to and believed it would show that there was corrupt administration of the affairs of the department. It would, how ever, depend greatly upon the amount of credit the jury would be willing to attach to this evidence, but upon it's force the court regarded it as pertinent to the case, and would admit it. The defense immediately noted an exception to the decision. The prosecu- tion then with an air of satisfaction called Mir. John A. Walsh to the stand, and
 Mir. Bliss proceeded with his examination.
 He testified that he had an interview with
 Brady in December, 1880, which resulted in
 his getting large contract on which he was
 to pay Brady 20 per cent. of the amount ex-
 pedited. He testified that he was further re-
 quested to pay $S, 900 to Republican cam paign corruption fund, and his not so paying it resulted in the loss of his contract. Brady claimed what he ought to have paid to this corruption fund as set off against money
 loaned Brady by witness. After a lengthy examination by the prosecution the witness was turned over to the defense and MT. Will son proceeded to question him closely in re gard to the interview at New York which was afterwards published in two New York pa pers. There is now hope that the Rerdel confession, ruled out earlier in the trial, vii be admitted.

Admiral Nieholson's Responsibility.

WAsH1NGToN, July 21.-It is stated at tho Navy department to-day that Rear Admiral Nicholson, commanding the American fleet at Alexandria, Egypt, was instructed to look after the protection of American interests there, and that if he mixed up in the war further than that it was entirely upon his own responsibility. Nothing official has been received from him since the day the bombardment began, when he announced that fact, and also acknowledged the receipt of the departments instructions to look after American interests nor has the de- partment communicated with him since that time. Secretary Chandler is not prepared to say that Admiral Nicholson exceeded his au- thority in assisting the British in patrolling the streets of Alexandria and in certain other acts until he has been officially advised of the attending circumstances. Certain navy of ficiaIs assert that Admiral Nicholson has in nowise compromised this country, and that he did nothing beyond what was necessary for the protection of the American consulate.
