Able for Duty by Saturday.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2S-President Cleveland
sat up in his room for some time, this after
noon. His left knee was swollen to twice it's
natural size. and he suffered great pain The
President was wrapped in blanket, and re-
fused to receive visitors. He read the news
papers and signed number of pardons but did
no other business. Mrs Cleveland was with
him constantly. There were but few callers at
the mansion to-day, and late this afternoon the
President and Mrs. Cleveland drove out to Oak
View The President walked to his carriage
with difficulty, leaning upon heavy cane.
DR.. O'Reilly, the Presidents physician, thinks
his patient will be we'll enough OH Saturday to
tall the requirements of his New Years day
duties. Preparations for the New Years public
reception are going forward. 1t is the intention
that Mrs. Cleveland and the Cabinet officers shall
conduct the reception if the President is not well
enough to participate, and not so i'll as to cause
concern.
A messenger went to Mrs. Logan's house from
the President to-day, rendering any assistance
that could be rendered.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.
Friends of the Pending Bill Have but Little
Hope of It's Passage.


Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-True friends of the
interstate commerce bill have lost all hope of its
becoming law at this session of Congress, and
to go over to the next Congress means a reopen
ing of the whole subject, and the discussion Of
eyerybody's views, which are legion.
'"The very moment the conference report was
permitted to lie on the desk of the President of
the Senate said member to-day, 'its passage
became matter of great doubt. If the Senate
intended that it should go through the lower
House it would have acted at once Now there
is no telling when it will come up, or in what
form it may be found fortnight hence. We all
know that an independent measure can be very
readily killed-orrather allowed to die-no m after
how meritorious it may be if it is allowed to
rest till after the holidays in short session.
Although it is conference report, and there
fore a privileged matter, it has not passed
either House. 1t has terrible gauntlet to run
before it can become law. There is only one
advantage in the position it Is now in: Bein
a conference report, it must be passed in its
present saape or rejected; it cannot be amended
or handled around committees"
The statesmen from the East and certain
portions of the South oppose the measure, and
Its only ardent friends, it seems, are found in

THE CASE OF FATHER MGLYNN.

NEW York, Dec. 28-The World is at last

pension, both as rector and priest. A
priest high in authority in the archepiscopal
diocese, and holding close oficin rsiatsssps with
-AfeheishA3 CoFFigsp said last night: The
statements that DR.. McGlynn has been sum-
moned to Rome to defend himself are all at
fault Dr. McGiynn has been summoned to
Rome for censure, and the only thing left for
him to do is to recant The idea of the
Catholic Church advocating the abolition of
property in land is prepos:erous. The Catholic
Church does not advocate the abolition of
property in land. and will not do So That is
communism, and the church has pronounced
against communism. Besides it is absurd
to say that the abolition of property in land will
remedy the evils of poverty. Its effect, on the
contrary will be to intensity them. | do not
know what DR.. McGlynn intends to do about
going to Rome, but my OVID opinion is that he is

He has been summoned to Rome, and he is ex-

ignored the whole matter The fact is that DR..
McGlynn's whole attitude for many years has
been one of antagonism to the policy of the
Catholic Church. He first opposed the estab-
lishment of parochial schools as un-American
and antagonistlc to the public school system.
Now, the establishment of parochial schools ia
designed for the purpose of teaching religion
in the schools, which we cannot expect to do
in the public schools as they are designed
for children of all denominations. Then, again,
when the question of depriving the Pope of his
temporal power came up, he rather took posi-
tion against the Pope in the matter, which, to
say the least, was not exactly Catholic. And
finally, when this agitation against property in
land came up. he took a stand against the
church again. Now, the Archbishop has dealt
very leniently with DIR. McGlynn, and given him
every opportunity to set himself right But he
declines to set himself right and as the matter
was an important one, there was nothing left for
the archbishop to do but to refer his case to

decide it. Rome does not care for individuals
