the isthmian canal commission foresee
embarrassment should the special ses-
sion of congress fail to provide the

fee,
This bill carried $16, ,zo5. 1893 TO meet
the expenditures involved In the many
departments of the canal work and
operations will come to a speedy close
if supplemental legislation is not pro-
vided.
AS there is a statute forbidding gra-
tuitous services to the government the
various branches of the canal work
could be prosecuted only so far as
funds remain from uneXpended bal
ances and although ii is not expected
that congress will ignore such an i'm
portant measure officials already are
looking up the amount of their re-
sources. II is pointed out that in an
emergency present appropriations
could be extended by special resolu-
tion as has been the case hitherto in
similar exigencies.

20 Days-ls Locked Up in

Street several weeks ago, has fled no
tice of appeal from the sentence OF
29 days in the city stockade imposed
on him Wednesday afternoon by
Judge Broyles, on a charge OF dis
charging firearms in the city limits.
A State case also was brought
against Talley before Judge Broyles
in which Talley was held to the high
er court on $4,000 bond on charges of
assault with intent to murder and car
rying concealed weapons. Talley's
appeal bond was fixed at $500, in de-
fault of which he is a prisoner at
police headquarters.
Two negro women who testified in
Talleys behalf that Blackstock had
an open knife in his hand when Tai
ley shot him were held for the Grand
Jury on perjury charges. Several
white men testified Blackstock had no
weapon when the fight occurred.
In an effort to prevent Judge Broyles
from binding him over Talley's at
torney William NJ. Smith, told the
court the prisoner had waived exam

had been held for the Grand Jury in
$500 bond. Judge Broyles could find
no record that Talley had appeared

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, June 26.-Announcement
that King George, Queen Mary and
President Poincare of France would
attend the International Horse Show
at Olympia to-day brought out the
biggest crowd since the show began.
Among the spectators were many
Americans and other foreign tourists.
The royal box was decorated with
intertwined British and French col
ors. Much comment was aroused by
Queen Marys edict that women in
the show should not ride astride while
she is present. The Queen, the fore
most champion of feminine modesty
since Queen Victoria, recently issued
the same order to her daughter, Prin-
cess Mary.
Miss Ruth Boyd, of New York, who
has a number of horses entered in
the show, threatened to withdraw be
cause of the Queens edict, saying she
could not use a side saddle, having
been used to riding astride all her
life.
