 Cincinnati, O., Feb 14.-A postpone ment of the Jeffries-Ruh fight, scheduled for next Friday night, is ac- knowledged by the Saengerfest pro- moters themselves to be practically unavoidable. Counsel for the Saen- gerfest Athletic club yesterday so stated. W. A. Brady, however, may make a move at the last moment in this connection that may prove still further embarrassing to the Saenger- fest people. Brady will see to it that the forfeit money is forthcoming if there is no fight. Will the Saengerfest management agree to put up another So,O0O forfeit if it is demanded? Sheriff Thomas s. Taylor, when asked yes terday whether he had requested Gov ernor Nash to send troops to this city, Said:
 Il have not
 t'In case the Injunction is granted today by Judge Hollister. will you ask the state executive to order the militia here?"
 II will be governed entirely by the situa ton and my duties as an officer of the court.' was the response.
 Governor Mash. of course, is not talk ing the public generally into his conf dence regarding the matter, but 1t is known that the Second. Third and Sixth regiments of militia are pre- pared to start to Cincinnati at a mo- ment's notice Should Judge Hollister decide to-day that his court has no jurisdiction in enjOining the fight, the militia will probably start for the city to settle that and all other issues ln- Solved at once.
 Both Jeffries and Ruhlin continue light training. all that is necessary for finishing touches, and express entire confidence in the contest coming off.
 Columbus, Feb 14.-1n regard to the possible use of the Ohio National Guard to prevent the Jeffries1euhl prize fight on Friday. Governor Nash said yesterday: No troops will be or dered out tonight. Of course 1 have in mind well defined plans of action such as d prudent man would have Ill facing an emergency. l still nope, however, it will not be necessary to use the troops
 no oN tll ittl VII 'N committed by the governor until the decision in the injunction case is made known at Cincinnati to-day by Judge Hollister. Everything at this end of the line is waiting that decision. Prac- tically all the military preparations have been made. The troops have been selected. the transportation has been arranged, 5000 rounds of ammu- hilton have been issued and q further supply will be shipped direct from the state arsenal here. and an abundant commiSsary is ready.
 Should the Cincinnati courts decls- ion be mo juriSdctiOn'' the prevention of the fight would be up to- the gov ernor. and an exchange of telegrams with some Cincinnati judge asking troops would be followed by orders this afternoon to mobilize two regl- ments at Cincinnati under command of General w. V. McMakin of the First brigade. while third regiment probably would be ordered to Colum- bus as q reserve.
 General McMakin, Lieutenant-Col- ouel Moulton Houk, chief quartermas- ter on the staff of Major-General Charles Dick and Captain George Donayin of the governors s stan, who were summoned here, were in consul tation with the governor yesterday.
