WOMEN AT JOHNS HOPKINS.
University Honors to he Open to Female
students.

Om1vers1ty Honors to he Open to Female
students.
The faculty Of the Johns Hopkins University
in Baltimore has lately taken an important step,
which alters q part Of its previous policy.
Hitherto women who applied for admission to
the university have either been promptly re-
fused or, In q few cases, have been allowed to
attend lectures unoficially. In other words.
these brave ones obtained permits
sion from some professor to hear his
lectures, but they were not enrolled on the
university books and took no examinations A
partial exception should be made to this. how
ever. in the case of Miss Christine Iadd, who
attended Prof. Sylvester's mathematical lee
lures soon after the university was founded.
She held q fellowship, but did not receive =
degree. She ID now the wife OF Prof. Franklin
Of Johns Hopkins.
In the autumn Of 1891 Miss Florence Bascom
entered, unoficially. Is student Of geology.
She Is . daughter Of the well-known college
president Of that name, and already the holder
OF several college degrees, chiefly from the
University Of Wisconsin, whore she Was pupil
Of the eminent geologist, Prof. Van Hise. Every
OF its graduate students was fulfilled in her case
and she proved herself, by her work
there, to be worthy Of the highest honors. This
year she returned to her studies under Prof.
Williams after doing excellent field work in ge-
ology. At the last meeting Of the faculty II
was decided to formally admit Miss Bsscom as
candidate for the degree Of doctor Of phiIoso-
ply, which will probably be awarded to her
next June.
The trustees Of the Johns Hopkins had passed
. resolution admitting women to the graduate
courses Of the university so long ago as 1877,
but this was never confirmed by the professors
until last month. The latter have now decided
that any woman who 10 fully qualified may
enter the graduate department She must Of
course, have graduated from u reputable college
and must prove to the satisfaction of the faculty
that she Ia thoroughly qualified to pursue
graduate work. She may be examined and
proceed to the degree of Phi D. under the same
conditions a. men. The undergraduate work
leading to the bachelor degree has not
yet been opened to women because
there are many coeducational and women's
colleges already prepared to receive them.
There are three women besides Miss Bascom
who are studying at the Johns Hopkins this
year, having recently entered. In addition
to these four women are enrolled for medical
postgraduate courses, one Of whom is Wash
ington doctor.
The medical school of the university will be
opened next October, and ia to be coeduca-
tional throughout. Miss Garrett provided in
making her magnificent gift to this school,
that one condition should be the absolute
equality Of the sexes, no distinctions OF any
kind being made. The standards and require
ments Of this school are to be the highest in
the world, and its opening will be an important
event In the history Of the medical profession.

The Democrats CIsim tn Hold the Key to
the Situation.

the Situation.
ONaH. NIB. Jan. New interest has been
gwen the senatorial situation BIZ the cOmbina-
ton % democrats and republicans in organizing
the upper house of the Nebraska legislature.
II amounts to notice that the man who is
elected must be one on whom the anti-monopoly
elements Of all parties can unite
II l. still asserted. however. that the action OF
the democrats in voting with the republicans
had nothing to do with the senatorial situation,
and wa- only intended to afford a way out Of
the deadlock
THOSE MENTIONED.
The names most mentioned by the democrats
ard independents for the place are Con-
gresham MeHeighan. Congressman Bryan
and Gov BOYD. in the order named.
McEeighan seems to have decidedly
the b--i Il the situation at present He is very
acceptable In both parties. Bryans strength is
a matter OF much uncertainty. He IL not liked
b. the railroad element of the indie
pendeu; party. but is still strong enough to be
a Formidable sspirant- BOyd has not shown
hi hand VET but is considered more a. being
an excellent candidate 10 compromise upon.
Ano-her eompromise candidate who Is CON-
ing IN prominence is John y. Powers, ex-
presiden; OF the National Farmers Alliance.
Mr. Powers has not made formal sigaiii-
canoe 90 his desire to become Senator Pad
docks successor. but is being talked OF to an
sxtsn; that Is extremely suggestive
ON the republican side the candidates are
more numerous and have less strength. Sena-
tor Paddock has not given up hope of succeed
ing himself.
Others are pushing the claims of Dir.
Ismberston. the assistant secretary OF the
treasury.
Gov.-elect Crounse is named in connection
with the place. ss also il Lieut. Gov Majors.
q
John VI. IhurstOn has q following. but is not
pushing a canvass
Plans are being laid. which. II successful,
will bring the democrats and independents to-
gsther in caucus next week to determine upon
= candidate. The democrats hold the kew
to the situation IL the anti-monopoly
republican candidates do not bolt the caucus
no man can be elected without democratic
votes. In view ~ this the supporters Of Nc
Keighan feel confident Of his success.

A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING,
The Need OF Ono in South Washington
Urged Upon the Commi ae ionars.

The Need OF Ono in South Washington
Urged Upon the Commissioners.
Supervising Principal Fsirbrother and Trus-
tee Hazen Of the fourth district public
schools called upon the Commissioners this
morning to urge upon them the necessity of .
new school building in South Washington. The
gentlemen called attention to the fact that
out Of the six new buildings recommended by
the school board, the Commissioners, in their
annual estimates only recommended two. One
Of these was for South Washington. The
new appropriation bill a. reported failed
TO make provision for this building. and
they wanted to impress upon the Commits
sioners the actual necessity Of doing
al in their power to get an appropriation for
the new SCHOOL They called attention to the
crowded condition Of the schools and the num-
Der Of children who were unable to attend. II
10 understood that the Commisrioners will urge
. new building for the fourth district.

Are the District Revenues Locked Up" In
the Treasury.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue Of the 4.h instant you repro
duce from the Financial Rerieu Of Decembe,
80 an article entitled deposit Of Taxes in Dis
trict Banks" which is based upon an interview
held with me BY 4 representative Of TIE SrAs
and to which desire briefly to reply.
The writer commences BY referring to an ed
itorial in the Recie,c Of November 10, advocat.
ing the deposit OF receipts from taxes in the
local banks, which, by the way, have never
had the pleasure Of reading, and states tina,
'ooth The STAR and the Post have approved OF
these suggestions and they have met with gen.
eral favor from our citizens. The only adverse
criticisms" having come from one bank presi-
dent and the District auditor. Speaking fur
Their Of the latter he says THE STAR prints
an interview with District Auditor Petty where
in be insists that the revenues OF the District OF
Columbia are not locked up in the United
States treasury, while in the same paper Dis
trict Assessor Trimble expresses his convictions
that these revenues are locked up. Mr..
Trimble is right and he has had the courage of
his convictions, shown in his official re-
ports"
fail to understand how courage enters into
the question at all, but granting that it does
certainly less would seem to be required to
traVel Win the majority IN company with 1HE
STAR and the Post and citizens generally than
to be one OF minority Of two. In point of fact,
however, did not criticise, adversely or other
wise, the proposition to deposit taxes in the
banks instead Of the United States treasury
had no such object in view, my purpose being
simply to correct an error of belief in the pub
lie mind as expressed in the statement that
takes collected in November are covered into
the United States treasury to remain there idle
and Improbable until Congress unlocks the
door and allows this money to again pass out in
circulation from and after the LIST of July fol-
lowing" The question al Issue in this state
ment is not one of opinion or conviction, but of
fact, and should be settled not by arraying the
assessor and the auditor against each other,
but by an examination of the records. II two
members Of q firm, depositing with a bank,
should disagree as to the amount Of their de-
post they would hardly waste time affirming
and denying but, if sensible men, would hand
in their pass book SO that it might be settled
and the balance shown. This course is purs sued
with District accounts. Once month the Dis
trict bookkeeper compares the books of the
auditors Office with the account kept in the
office Of the first controller and ascertaIns the
balance. The official figures. thus verified.
from July to November 80, 1892, are as fol-
lows.

Irregularity Charged in Giving tho Prize to
st. Louisa Change Made aud II Hot Con-
test VIII Ensue.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
Nov. 2.-There is question about beer
awards. The matter was taken as set
tied a week ago when it was announced
that the highest number OF points had
been won by the Anheuser-Busch Brew
ing Co., OF st. Louis. Nowitappears three
OF the judges who constitute a majority
OF the jury have made change IN the
figures previously reported which gives
the greatest number Of points to the
Pabst brewery, OF Milwaukee.
The report which will come before
John Boyd Thacher, chairman OF the
committee on awards, before finding
is made, is written by Christian Fail,
OF Milwaukee and L. i. Lund, OF Great
Britain and concuTred in by Mr.. Role,
OF West Virginia; Col. Weigel OF st.
Louis, and Prof. LichtenfeldS OF Ger
many. The other two judges protest
that their associates have unwarrant-
edly changed the figures OF analysis
given by Prof. Wiley, the chemist, en-
ployed for this work. Their contention
ia that the Milwaukee concern had 81
points and that Prof. WileY's figures
raised from 43 to 40 which gave 1t 90
points and put it one point ahead OF St.
Louis. Prof. Wiley's book OF analysis,
on file at Mr.. Thacher's office, bears out
this statement.
Mr.. Thachor said this morning that
he had only indirect information OF tho
subject matter. 1t was his recollection
that change was made in the chemical
analysis OF one beer and he had been
told that Prof Wiley ordered it done,
the professor explaining that he had
overlooked the chemical property. Mr..
Thacher said that ii any irregularlty
were shown his department would in
vestigate and might order q re-examlna-
ton. Otherwise the decision OF the
three Judges would stand It is expect
ed there will be n hot contest.
