Excitement is still nt fever heat among the local Catholics over the doposal of Father Loughran us rector of St. Theresa's pro- cathedral , and a meeting will bo hold to morrow to discuss the matter , the following notice signed by John Fit/gorald , John P. Sutton , T. G. Kelly. Charles J..McGlavo nnd James J. Condon having boon sent to the various newspaper oflices : "To TUB MKMHEIIS or ST. Tiir.ucsVs Cox- niuoATiox : , CITV oi' LINCOLN : Au important iTiecting will bo held at Hibernian hull , Thirteenth and P streets , at ! 1 o'clock Sun day afternoon , to take suitable action rela tive to the removal of Hov. Francis L. Loughran from the rectorship of the pro- cathodrnl. It is urgently requested that every member of the congregation , tboth nalo and female , bo present. " " It also develops that Father Qulnn , ono of he priests who had signed the manifesto to jatolll , Is having moro trouble with the jlahop. Ho had bocn originally removed rom a mission , unjustly us ho claimed , and ono of the clauses of the agreement which iatolli compelled lionacum to sign at Omaha Wednesday wai a promise'on the part of the lishop to restore him to as good a mission as .ho . ono from which ho had been removed. Yesterday Father Quinn called upon the bishop to find out to what mission ho jn-onosod sending him , but no sooner hud the bishop caught sight of him In his room than , ac cording to the father's story , ho How into a rage and ordered him out of the house , threatening to kick him out if ho did not im- ncdlatcly depart , and doniandluc to know tiow ho dared comu Into } ) ta houso. The father replied that It was not neces sary for him to use force , that ho would ro- tiro. Ha did so , und immediately tele graphed the interview to Satolli nt St. Paul , is lie had boon Instructed to do , the delegate evidently anticipating the bishop's action. Later , rocognUing that ho mudu u mistake , the bishop sent Father MeShane to Father Qulnn with word that ho could say mass ut St. Elizabeth hospital in this city tomorrow. Father Loughrau refuses to talk , saying that thu only error made in the reported in terview was in slating that the bishop hud given him his oxoat without his asking for it. It was at his own request that it was glvon him. Ho has sent the fuels In the matter to Archbishop Satolli , und aomo interesting communication from him la being hourly an- tlcipated. Mooro'i Authority. Section 3 of the law under which Mr Gar- no.iu net.i provides : "Tho appropriation provided for in this act can only ho drawn from the state treasury on estimates made by thu commissioner general , and no ono es timate shall exceed the sum of $5,000 ex cept lu the case of emergency , and then only on approval by the governor , showing the items of expenditure paid by htm , giving the data paid , to whom and for what purpose each item has been luid. Kach estimate uhall bo accompanied by a detailed state ment of thu expenditures with proper vouchers. " Under the provisions of this section Aud itor Moore feels that ho is made the judge as to whether or not the vouchers are proper ones , us upon him devolves the reipon- stbllUy if money ia paid out upon improper vouchers , and bo quotes as hU authority for the impression ho entertains in tills rospeot an opinion of the supreme vourt , filed March isu , lb'J3 , in the case of the state ox rel J. S. Dales , stew ard of the State university , against Kugeno Mooro. This case is ona involving exactly the same questions as the Garnoau case. In it was bet up an agreed state of facts. Dales sot up that ho was steward of the univer sity und secretary of the Board or Hogonta. and that as such he 1s duly authorized and oiupoworod to draw upon the auditor of pub < lie accounts , by proper certificates end vouchers , in QUO form , for amounts appropri' ut-od for the use of thu University of Ne braska : that the legislature of IB'Jl , by a bill approved Agril 0 , Ib'Jl ' , appropriated * 37,00 ( for the uju and benefit of thu university Ir tu erection ( iu port ) of lira Silks at 25 Per Cent Off.

I'ho object of this action on thu part of the university authorities was to pot the money out of the treasury under the mistaken ido.1 .hat the appropriation would lapse before the contract could bo completed. Auditor Mooro-roturned the vouchers , de clining to pay the same at that time for the reason that it nowhuro appeared that the work had boon clone , materials furnished or services rendered upon which the amount could apply. Ho doelinod to pay the money .n advance. Dales asked for an order upon the auditor requiring him to pay the money ever , but the supreme court said in its opinion : fioctlou 2 of the net provides that : "Tho . auditor of public accounts Is lioroby authorIzed - ' Izod und rrijulrcd upon the presentation of the proper vouchers to draw his warrant on the stated funds , und iitfalnst the appropriation as made In Hcotion 1 of tills net , In favor of the party performing the sorvlcu , for the amount duo , and such warrant slmll glvo the iiamo of thu person und nature of tlio service. " The court further defines the term voucher , " when usnu In connection with the disbursement of money , to moan a written or printed instrument In the nature of a hill of particulars , account , etc. , which shows on what account and by what authority a par ticular payment has been mado. It will bo observed [ said the court ] that the auditor l.s authorized to draw his warrant only In thoio caius whoio the proper vouchers are presented to him. The warrants are to ho druwn from time to time as may bo required , the Illln of vouchers buInH the evidence upon which thu auditor Is to net. There Is no authority for the bociotury of the Hoard of Itogunts to draw any portion of the appropria tion nxcuptiiH he may present voucher * for work or material expended In the prosecution of the contract , The court also cites the following from the Twenty-second Nebraska , page ! i3 , In the case of State ox rol James against Babcock - cock : ' Tim constitution of the state rcnulroH that nil claims upon the state treasury must bu ox- amlned and adjusted by thu auditor , und his action approved by the seciotury of Htato , l > e- fore any warrant can bo drawn therefor. This provision applies to all claims , whether claimed by virtue of u specific appropriation or not. In His recent opinion in the impeachment Jud.go Norral intimates that ho seriously questions the right to pay out an appropria tion iu lump sums. I.uncuitor'i Saline Lands , Under the not of the recent session affect ing sallno lands , 11,134 acres will bo subject to sale to the lessees uftor August 1 , lb'J3 , Bubjoct to the school land laws , to ho sold to the lessou if ho desires to buy , but thora will bo no public salo.
