to reach for them.

A LEGISLATIVE SENSATION.
An Indiana Loan Bill That Seems To Be
Defective.


INDIANApoLIs, Ind, March 30.-A mild
| sort OF sensation was created today by the
| statement that the loan bill passed by the
late Legislature was defective. The bill in
question authorized the State officers to ne
gotiate a temporary loan of 81, 400, 600. The
first intimation that there was cause for
doubt about the validity of the act was re-
ccivcd three days ago, after the bid Of the
German Savings Bank, Of New York, had
been accepted, and it came from the success
full bidders, who, after receiving notice that
they had secured the loan, instructed their
attorneys to carefully inquire into all ques-
tons relating TO the validity and security Of
the act authorizing the issuance Of the bonds.
The lawyers Investigated and found in the
State Constitution the following;
mo law shall authorize any debt TO DO
contracted In behalf OF the State, except
in the following cases. 10 meet casual def
cits in the revenue, 10 pay the interest on
the State debt 10 rcpel invasion, suppress
instruction, or, If hostilities be threatened,
provide for the public defense
The act authorizing the temporary loan
OF 81, 400, 900 contains nothing that Is In ac-
cordanco with these constitutional require
ments. The money Is needed for anticipated
deficits, but the act says nothing about deti-
cts. II is the opinion of the lawyers whose
advice Is accepted by the bond bidders that,
without such a declaration or statement In
the act, II might be decided unconstitu-
tional, and IN consequence there would be
some risk In buying tho bonds. However,
the act Is exactly similar TO that of 1885
authorizing the temporary loan Of 100000.
TIL State Treasurer. Lcmocke, left for New
York tonight, and will offer the bonds for
acceptance on Tuesday. IL is understood
that he carries mn opinion by Attorney
General Michcner that the loan act is valid.
The general impression is that while the
act may be technically faulty IL will not
Seriously interfere with the successful
negotiation Of the loan, but " II shou Id,
lndiana's financial Affairs will be in the
worst possible state, and il is not improbable
that the Governor will be forced 10 call an
extra session Of the Legislature 10 make
some provision for carrying on the Govern
ment. II is admitted by the State officers
that IL would be impossible TO get along un-
ill the next session OF the Legislature with
out the financial relief that has been ok
pcctcd.

Lecture by James M. ToWnsena. IT,. ofNew YOrksCitY on ssThe Transfer of Monetary Secur1sfes.s.

Lecture by James m. Townsend. IT,, ofNew YOrk.City on ssThe Transfer ei Monetary Secur1sfes.''
 James M. Townsend, jr., of New York, brother of Prof. William K Townsend, de-
 livered the first of @ series of lectures to the
 seniors of the Law school yesterday after
 noon on ''The Transfer of Monetary Seouri-
 ties" The lecture was well attended and MT.
 Townsend very interestingly described the
 growth of these securities in England and
 this country. Quotations from the lecture
 are as follows: About one hundred and fifty
 years beFore the death of Alexander Poe, the
 father of the celebrated poet, was the time
 that interest was first taken on loans in Eng land, and it was then considered the greatest
 crime of the age next to incest, and it was not until about 1711 that monetary securi-
 ties came into existence. Then came the great rush for these securities from those who had always kept their money in strong boxes. and worthless companies were formed which nearly threw England into bank ruptcy. In 1S30 this rash speculation ended by the destruction of the South Sea company. and then good and sound securities in the form of stocks. bonds, etc., were put on the market both in England and this country. and to-day over eight thousand millions con- sistiDg of private fortunes are vested in these monetary securities, which commercial ne. cesstty demands and which this country could not get along without, being negotia- ble as they are. MT. Townsend then de- scrlbed the form of some of the bonds and the interest of those present. The lecture throughout was calefully followed and sbounded in much valuable information. sV1nc1ng much study and research

A YOUNG MAN STABBED.

pr. CFemin's StrRnge-Visitors Yester- day AnernoOn-Detective Reilly In- vestiEating.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon two young men, somewhat intoxicated, called on Dr. Cremin to dress a wound which one had received by sharp steel instrument in the
 left breast. A part of the knife or dagger
 which made the wound was broken of about an inch from the surface. The men would say nothing as to who they were or how the thing had happened. The doctor told them they had better go to their home where he could properly attend to the wound, but they refused, and when Dr. Cremin stepped to the telephone one said to the other that he was about to ring for the police, and both hastily left the house. A description of the young men was given to the police. The mans outer clothing was not punctured over the wound, and it is probable that the stabbing occurred the night before, and that he had changed his clothing in the meantime
 Detective Reilly was busily engaged with the case yesterday afternoon and last even- ing, but up to late hour nothing had been found that offered any definite clue to the mystery.
