J Ex Governor Ponker has been shooting oft his mouth again In his usual reckless manner nnd In a speech nt the dedication ot an armory lu Cincinnati Snturday night declared that when the fisheries trouble was under discussion bo was nskod bv the war department at Washington In 1SS7,1 how many armed men ho could rush to the Can adian border in case of a sudden emergency Ho said also that similar messugos were sent to the governors of other stitcs Ad Jutant General Kolton laughed heartily when ho was questioned about the storv this morning and said It was evidently biscd on n circular that was sent out from the war department by the bureau of militia in ISsT nsking the governors of all the states how many militia they could conccntrato at a given point In n glvon space of time The purpose of the department In sending nut this circular was slmpiv to on tain the information that is annually col lected concerning thoconditlon of the militia and had nothing whatever to do with the fisheries trouble In fact , ho never usso- dated the two mitten In bis mind beloro und had never hoard them , connected iu any way THE BIIirlllAV OUTItAOE The Russian legation in this city has been carrying on some extensive cable corre spondence with the govornmout at St Petersburg within the last few daj s concerning corning the publications that have appeared In the newspapers about the

on the extradition treaty As will bo romembertd , the story origin ited witu Stcpulak , the nihilist exile in London , who claimed to have the information on detached fragments of paper written In

published In support of tbo nihilistic cause Ho was formerly an officer iu the Russian army , and being accused of conspiracy , fled from the country some jcirs ago lho means of communication between the exiles in blboriaand tholr friends abroad are so meagre and the vigilance of the czars police is so great that it would bo Impossible for btcpniak to have any reliable or detailed information and this btory may buvo oiigluated as many ethers of the same Kind in the imagination ot some agitator , although no doubt it Is believed to bo true by btepiak and bis fellow exiles lho extra dilion treaty with Hussia Is pending In the senate and is Uablo to como up lor aotlon at any time The purpose of circulating such stories nt the present time is therefore to bo regarded as an act of
