MAssILLoN, O., Jan. 5.-The preliminary
steps were taken here, to-day. in an action under

with the provisions of the civil rights bill.

John Fields, the leading colored barber of this
city. and he was arraiened before Justice Frantz
for refusing to cut the hair of Albert Gerritt, a
young man of his own race. Two weeks ago
the defendant moved into an elegant new shop
in the Conrade House. and those Of his own
color whom he had formerly shaved were given
to understand that he did not desire their pat

entered upon, and the justice sent the case to

THE CASE OF JUDGE POWERS.
The Peculiar Position In Which President
Cleveland Finds Himself

The Peculiar Position I'm Which President
Cleveland Finds Himself.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The President finds
himself in very peculiar position in regard to
one of his recent appointments. Mr. Powers,
the Michigan man who was appointed judge on
the Utah bench, at the instance of that prince of
bosses Dan Dickenson, is opposed by the solid
Democratic delegation from Michigan, besides a
quite numerous. following Of unofficial citizens.
Charges of the most damaging character have
beer fled against the gentleman, and it was said
at one time that the President had determined
not to send his name to the Senate for confrma-.
ton, but to substitute for it that of another.
Dickinson came here. however, when the fight
was hottest, was invited to dine with the Presi-
dent, and finally induced him to change his mind
to sufficient degree to insure the nomination,
to the Senate, so the authorities state, copies of
all the charges against Judge Powers, and il the
reports of those who have been most persistent in
endeavoring to impeach him to be believed
they will afford some very juicy reading matter
for the Democratic members of the Sen ate
Powers, like other men caught in bad trap,

Is q maPtyr.of Mormon persecution. He has cer-
tanly made several decisions since he has been
upon the Utah bench which have not been in ac-
cordance with the Mormon ideas, but the OBJ
lection to his confirmation comes not from these
men as much as from the citizens of his own
State and members of his own party who have
known him and are familiar with his record.

sets, New York. and several other States 1t is
the opinion of men best versed in matters
Of legislation that no radical meas
bill. can have any prospect of passage
in the Forty ninth Congress. The trouble with
this bill is that it proposes to do too much all at
once, and instead of taking one step it vaults
across the entire distance at one jump. and pro-
poses to do away with every abuse with which
the railroad corporations have been charged.
Judge Reagan, it is said, will accept no COM
promise, and he will fight any attempt to legis-
late upon the subject of interstate commerce un-
less his scheme can go through. Notwithstand-
ing the stormy objection from the chair
man of the committee on commerce,
however, it is the general belief
that some measure looking toward the
creation of a railroad commission with powers
to inquire into and check abuses 10 the carrying
trade, will eventually pass both houses during
this session. The bill introduced into the House
by Mr.. Baker, of New York, is very favorably
regarded by those who have examined its pro-
vision. Mr.. Bakers success in engineering the
passage of similar bill through the New York
Legislature gives him standing before the
House as man who is thoroughly versed upon
the question upon which he asks legislation His
which passed the Senate last year, known as the
Cullom bill, and its new features are designed to
win over some of those who insist

One or two Western members. who have been
heard in private upon the subject matter Of this
BILL have expressed the belief that it is as good q
compromise measure between the arbitrary feat
ures of the Reagan proposition and the some
what immature plan of settling the carrying
question proposed by Senator Culom as could
well be devised. There is very general belief
in the House that the general government should
take some steps towards protecting shippers
from the abuses of common carriers which have
been so prevalent in the past, and the idea grows
that Congress will at this session do something
towards bringing about the reform which is so
ardently prayed for all over the country. The
folly OF passing bill like Mr.. Reagan's is appar-
ent when it is known that there is not the faint
est possibility of it passing the Senate, and the
House might as we'll. therefore, devote its time
to some more practicable measure and one that
is more likely to meet with the approval CT the

like all genuine reforms, aiming only at the pub
lie welfare, this reform is likely to be universally
accepted. The fundamental idea of this reform,
that public Office is trust to be exercised solely
for the public welfare, and that Offices should be
filled only by those best fitted for the service
to be rendered, after their fitness has been ascer
tanned, is the cornerstone of popular govern
ment. This does not conflict with the principle.

heads OF departments and others charged with
the execution of administrative policies should

which do not involve the exercise of confidential
duties or the decision of important matters"

Rumors that Pope Leo XIII Is Again Threat
ened with Serious Illness.
ROME Jan. 4.-Rumors of the Pope's preca-
rious state Of health are rife again. 1 have made
fresh inquiries at proper quarters, and have as
certained that the Holy Father is now admitted
to be suffering from dangerous affection of the
bladder. He passes a great deal of blood His
appetite is very bad. and he often leaves his din
ner almost untouched. Lately, too, after invit-
ing guests to his table, he has several times
been compelled to send them away before dinner
was served. He has recently taken to shutting
himself up in his room. In the evening he
writes and reads. however, till far into the
night Yet in the morning his valet often finds
MIN up and dressed Moving about gives him cruel
pain, and though he complains constantly of the
cold. he cannot bear the heat, which gives him
neuralgia. / have just seen the Holy Father
taking walk in the sunshine in the Vatican
gardens. He was dressed all in white which
made him look paler than usual He walked
slowly and with difficulty. leaning on the arm of
prelate. At short distance off was the papal
carriage, escorted by two of the Guarda Mobile
ready for use if desired aud with his valet in
side. The Vatican organs strenuously deny the
current reports, but the Popes doctors and per-
sonal retaners are very anxious, as the Holy
Father grows weaker daily.

shore until the brave fellows were compelled to
abandon the attempt Another effort to reach
the islanders will be made tomorrow. when it is
hoped landing will be effected and the starv-
ing fishermen relieved. Inquiries at the little
town of Cleggan and other points on the main
land opposite Innisbofin prove that the distress
on the island is intense The potato crop has
completely failed, and the seasons catch of fish
was so insignificant as to amount to little more
than sufficient for daily wants. The local shop
keepers, seeing no prospect of further payment
for their wares, have suspended all credit. re-
fusing to trust even those heretofore considered
well -to-do Nearly five hundred of the islanders
are at present subsisting weed. what is
left of their seed potatoes, and scanty supply
of fish. Prompt assistance alone can prevent
starvation. This fact, coupled with the interest
which has been awakened by the hope of speedy
relief has filed the people on the mainland with
enthusiasm. and to morrow's attempt to force
passage to Innisbofin can hardly fail.

MILLIONAIRE WESTON.
He COntradicts Report that He Has Fled
to Avoid the Sentence Passed Upon Him.

PITTsBURG, Jan. Sit Is reported here that
millionaire Weston, the Chicago millionaire who
was recently sentenced to four years in the
Western penitentiary for completely in the Muir
raysville eas-well riots, but afterwards released
on $15, 900 bail pending the decision of the Su-
preme Court OIL an application for a new trial,
has, by the advice of his counsel, fed to South
America and forfeited his bond. Weston's ap-
plication was refusa yesterday, and his friends
think he will not return to abide his sentence.
A Chicago dispatch says: ''The rumor that
Milton Weston, the Chicago capitalist, indicted for
conspiracy in the Murraysville gas-well riots,
near Pittsburg Pa, had fed to South America
cannot be verified, and it is not credited here.
A son OF Mr.. Weston was seen here to-day, and
said he was in receipt of a letter from his father
dated New York city, Jan. g. when he appeared
in good spirits, and said nothing to indicate that
he intended leaving the country. The son also
said his father was not the man to run away in
any event.
This evening Mr. Harry Alden, of this city, re
ceived telegram from Milton Weston, pro-
nouncing as false the report that he had left the
country, and adding that he would start for
Pittsburg as soon as the decision of the Supreme
Court was rendered and would be on hand when
wanted. The telegram is dated New York.

An Invitation to Visit the United States,
Which May Possibly Be Accepted.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-Late last month Mr. John
Jennings who is connected with a London news
agency which supplies the American press with
much English news, wrote letter to Mr.. Glad
stone, inviting him to visit America. The letter
assured Mr.. Gladstone that he would be received
in America with the heartiest welcome. and he
ventured to express the opinion that personal
investigation of the working Of the Constitution
of the United States on the part of Mr.. Glad
stone would be productive of much important
results, such results as no amount Of reading
would enable him to attain. Such investigation,
it was suggested would enable him to deal with
the question Of home rule for Ireland with far
greater degree of confidence The letter further
stated that America generally believed that Mr..
Gladstone was the only man able to grapple
successfully with this question. In substantial
tion OF this statement, a dispatch from New
York to that effect was inclosed in the letter. A
reply to this letter has just been received from
Mr.. Gladstone. 1t as follows:
'HAwARDEN, Jan. 4.
"Dear Sir-I could not regard such an invita-
ton as you transmitted to me on the 23d ut. 9TH
erwlse than as an incident requiring my best con-
sideration for q chance that reflection might
open to me some way Of compliance. ] am sorry,
however, to repeat that l have not been able to
arrive at this result. My physical strength
would not permit me to undertake such a
voyage, and the present state of politi-
cal affairs admits of no intermission
OF attention That invitation. however,
constitutes new tie OF feeling
with America. ] shall ever regard it with
thankful acknowledgements, while the knowledge
that so many friendly eyes are watching the
course of events in this country with reference
to ireland will be new incentive to the per-
formance OF patriotic and philanthropic duty
REMAIN dear sir, your faithful servant
"W. E. GLADSTONE.
ITO John Jennings, ESQ.,
1t is learned on high authority that Mr. Glad
stone was disposed to accept the invitation. He
is willing to risk his health in a voyage to
America. but the political uncertainty has SO far
prevented him from making the trip. He may
possibly be induced to visit the United States in
the autumn, after the conclusion of the coming
session Of Parliament.
