tiVeS on the continent. The count asserts
that he is confident that Mr.. Kruger will

CAUGHT MAPPING
 BY GEORGIA MEN
NEW ORLEANS MEMBERS OF CON- GRESS WERE ABSENT WHEN BILL WAS CALLED UP AND HAD NO CHANGE TO ESCAPE.

Washington, June 2S.-(SpeciaD-T chances of having bill passed providing for the holding of sessions of the United States Circuit Court and Circuit Court of Appeals at Montgomery. Ala. appear to have disappeared. for this session at least. Congressman Davey of New Orleans an- nounced today that he intended to fight any attempt to bring the matter before Congress under the unanimous consent rule. If he persists the measure will be killed at this session because 1t can only come up under that rule.
 The Georgia delegation succeeded yes- terday in passing a bill providing that sessions be held hereafter at Atlanta. The matter happened to come up when the two New Orleans members were ab- sent from the chamber. They were wrathy when they heard later what had been done and decided that they would at least defeat the proposition to hold the courts at Montgomery. New Orleans has here- tofore enjoyed a monopoly of these courts.
