Ex Governor Ponker has been shooting

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

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 troatmout of
prisoners in Siberia nnd partlcululy the
story of a woman who is alleged to have
been scourged to death I was told by n
mo mbcr of the legation today that the gov-
ornmentntSt Petersburg aenlod the exist
ence of any such woman as * vas alluded to
iu the telegram trom London and pro
nounced the whole Btory n rnnurd for the
purpose of inlluoncing tbo action of the
United Stales sonaio 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 cipher Mr
Stcpniak is a professional nihilist and the
head of tbo nihilistic circle in London Ho
is a man of great ability aud the author of
the most logical and lnlluontial works that
have ever been 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 patriotism on
the part of the nihilistic sympathizers but
it is not probable that tbo sympathy of tbo
senators will bo sufficiently urouscd to influence
fluenco their votes
The boodlors' extradition treaty between
the United States and Lngland is also pending
ing in the senate nnd maj be acted upon any
day Ibcro is no organized opposition to it
since the dynamite clause was stricken out
nnd the onlj senator who hs attempted to 1
prevent its passage Is Mr Gray of Dela
ware who has not supported it simply because -
cause of his loyalty to Ins friend , Mr Bay

Mr McMillan of lennesseo said that the
ninjoritj given by the tellers had not soc
onucd the motion , that it vv is not competent

had seconded the motion and the debate on
the motion was now in order The demo
crats made an eirnost resistance to proceed
ing further
Mr McMillan contended that there wn3
no rule that pcrm'Uod ' the speaker to count a

Mr Carllslo maintained that the moment
when the tellers were ordered by tno house
to lalio their places the power of the cnalr
to count except on their report , ceased Ho
was not making an argument because ho
was opposed to seconding the motion , but
believed this was a most important con
struciion of the rules and the house
should not surrender Its povvor to the
spcakor
Mr Cannon asked under what rule Mr
Carlisle , when speaker bad ordered the roll
to bo called to d scloso a quorum without

quiring the presence ot a quorum before the
house begins tbo daily husinoss Ho asserted

count u quorum on the floor
Mr Peters of Kansas said the trouble was
that this house had been wrapped round ana
round by the cords of a legal fiction until it

settled that if a majority was present to do
business their presence was all Unit was re
quired to make a quorum If thev d < "cllued
to vote their inaction oould not bo in the
