Annual Meeting Held in Phoenix the Territorial Board.

of The territorial board of equalization met yesterday morning in the rooms of the territorial auditor, all members being present. The first matter presented was an assessment of the Pullman Palace Car company. The company paid no tax in Arizona last year, owing to the difficulty of levying upon it an assessment, but was stated to be willing to pay both for 1895 and 1896 territorial taxes upon eight and 28-100 cars, the proportion of its rolling stock operated in Arizona over the Southern Pacific, Atlantic Pacific, Maricopa Phoenix and Santa Fe, Prescott Phoenix lines. The regular Pullmans were listed at $4,000 and the tourist sleepers at $1,200. The proposition was accepted by the board and Clerk A.

M. Franklin was instructed to notify the counties of the assessment in the proportion of the mileage to which each is entitled. The assessment of the Atlantic Pacific was quickly disposed of, the road being represented before the board by E. E. Ellinwood.

The rate per mile was fixed at $5,000, the figure at which it has stood since 1888. The reason for the low assessment is in some wise connected with the right of way of the company, which is upon ground solely its property and upon which it pays taxes in the several counties through which the road passes. The assessment of the New Mexico Arizona road, that runs from Benson to Nogales, was considered especially in reference to an error in the assessment last year. A penalty of $1,200 had been imposed for the non-listing of the road with the board. This penalty, on proper showing, had been rescinded, but the supervisors of the counties had not been properly noti-zed and there would appear to be a credit due the road.

This matter and the assessment of the Bisbee road were however, little more than touched up- on and were held over for considera tion today. LANDED ON CUBA. The Last Bermuda Expedition Was a Success. "NEW YORK, June 2. A letter has been received by Thomas Estrada Palma, of the Cuban delegates in this city, from President Betancourt, of the Cuban republic, in which it is said that thirty-four men and a large quan tity of ammunition sent by the last Bermuda expedition had been safely landed on the island and had joined an insurgent detachment sent to the palace in anticipation of landing.

A report from Philadelphia, to which port the Bermuda returned, stated the ll One of Our Suits of UNDERWEAR, DRAWERS, i Cents Cents Each Office. men had been captured by Spaniards and the vessel had to fly to escape capture. This statement is contradicted by the advices received by Mr. Palma. OREGON'S ELECTION.

PORTLAND, June 2 Returns continue to come in slowly. The race for congressmen in both the First and Second districts is getting very close between Republicans and Populists, and it will take a complete vothe te decide. The Republican central committee claims it is a joint ballot in the legislature insuring the election of a United States senator. Ex-Governor Pennoyer's plurality in this city for mayor, according to the vote counted, will be over 2,000. DUNHAM STILL AT LARGE.

SAN JOSE, June 2 The day has passed and there is no trace of Murderer Dunham. The sheriffs returned to San Jose with their posse this evening thoroughly tired out and reluctantly confessed that they had no trace of the man and that practically they were at sea as towhat would next be done. (While they have abandoned the search there is no lack of men on the mountains to keep watch for Dun ham. THE SCHOOL TEACHERS. The district trustees held a meeting last night and elected the old teachers with three exceptions.

Professor Coy was placed as principal of the Central grammar school and Professor Ander- son in cnarge oi tne seventn grade Central building. Professor Barnes was made principal of the East End school and Professor Cole of the West End school. Other assignments will be made in the future. The new teachers are Miss Victoria Shaw, Miss Winifred Coombs and Miss Kate Christy. CLEVELAND OBJECTS.

WASHINGTON, June 2. Indications are that the general deficiency appropriation bill will not receive the president's signature owing principally to objections to items appropriating a million and a half dollars for the payment of French spoliation claims and the Bowman act claims. It is probable the bill will be permitted to become a law without his signature. DOUBLE KILLING. CHICAGO, June 2 A riot occurred in front of the Illinois steel works today.

J. Sexton, a laborer employed at the works, shot and killedP-oftsQrdcg the works, shot Michael Mrertin, a saloon keeper. Sexton was shot by Policeman Connelly. Sexton will die. Martin has slight chances for recovery.

1 1 i I if arment hi IT'S MONIHON Elected to Bs Mayor ofPtaix. Signal Victory of tlie Citizens' Ticket. A Quiet Election and Short Vote. Ganz Has No Opposition the Second. in The Vote Cast Tor the Bond Issue Was Nearly Unanimous In Their Favor.

James D. Monihon, once mayor of the municipality of Phoenix, will fill that post again for 'the next year, placed there yesterday by the votes of his constituents. Tomorrow evening the city council will meet to canvass the vote and it is probable that at the end of such meeting the mayor-elect will become mayor de facto. At the same meeting the va- cant chair in the Second ward repre- sentation will he taken by Emil Ganz unanimously the choice of the citizens of his ward for councilman. Yesterday's election was a quiet one in every respect once did the services of the police need to be called into requisition to suppress any boisterous conduct at the polls or upon the streets, and the counting of the votes in the evening was attended bv none save amicable conditions.

The, and Mr. Levering nominated by accla-saloons of the city, as ordered by stat- i mation. Two names were then pre-ute, were closed during the time of sented for second place on the ticket-voting, from 7 to 5, and not an intoxi- Hale Johnson and L. C. Hughes.

Again cated man could be found. A few car- Arizona's breath came short and Mr. riages bore upon them the signs that Hale was nominated. The whisky denoted the presence of the rustling men of Arizona can now breathe eas-committee on either side of the politi-, ily. for the crisis is past.

cal fence, but votes came slow and a short vote was polled. The ballots used at the polls were brief in their length and wording. Three tickets were named: The Citizens' ticket, comprising James D. Monihon for mayor and Emil Ganz for councilman in the second ward, The second compartment bore the heading of the Democratic party, comprising John H. Burger for mayor and Emil Ganz for councilman.

The third suoaivision was piacea consiaera- tion of the fact that a number of the Democrats had captured a portion of the citizens' movement meeting and was headed "Citizens' Ticket Party," Its nominees were the same as those of the Democratic division. Below the voter was given his choice of voting for and against the question of issuing city bonds in $10,000 for the purpose of paying fire department bonds of 1886 and also on the question of Issuing city bonds in the sum of $39,500 for the purpose of funding the present city indebtedness now outstanding in warrants. There were a number of ballots er roneously made out and therefore re- jected on the count but not enough to in any wise affect the result. The vote for mayor was quickly added up hv thp plprVa and stnnrl fnllmva- ward. Monihon.

Burger Fjrst 35 75; oQr, An tt Third 81 R4 Fourth 62 Totals 268 238 Only the Second ward voted for councilman, the candidate of all parties, Emil Ganz, receiving 71 of the 73 votes. A large number of voters failed to check a preference on the bond issue. i The vote on the $10,000 bond propo sition stood: Ward. For. First 136 Second 52 Against 9 3 20 4 Third 122 Fourth 87 Totals 397 36 On the vote was: funding bond question the Ward.

For. Against First 117 .18: Second Third ICo 19! Fourth 82 7 Totals 331 So! As the law demands only 70 per cent of a vote for the bonds, they are thus safely passed. The votes polled are far from repre sentative of the voting strength of the city. It has cast in county elections over 1,500 votes and a conservative estimate of the voters within the city limits is 1,200. Only 692 of these registered and of these only 506 went to the polls.

The new mayor was the recipient last night of many and most sincere congratulations and the general opinion was that Phoenix in the coming year would have prosperity commingled with honest and progressive government. During the evening the Pioneer band was secured by the jubilant friends of the mayor-elect. Headed by "Homer," the fire department goat, which had been spoken disrespectfully of upon i Democratic rostrums, the line of march was to the corner of Washington and First avenue. Here the multitude was addressed from the balcony of the Monihon building by the city's most honored citizen who promised all that could be by him done for the advancement of the city and in the interest of good and progressive government. Other speakers were Judge J.

H. Kib-bey, chairman of the Republican territorial central committee, Councilman-elect Ganz and B. Heyman. A serenade was also tendered the office of The Republican and thence the crowd dispersed to merry-making suited to the festive occasion. Especially deserving of credit for the success of the day are to be mentioned Messrs.

Lowell, Buck, Evans, Molloy and Hayes, who labored early and late for the success of the candidate. HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT. He Was a Candidate for the Prohibition Nomination. Tucson Citizen: If the White House gates are not very, very carefully guarded, some resident of Arizona, the land of the "kicker," the tarantula, free silver and cactus, will sneak in and take charge Arizona has piteously knocked at the doors of congress and asked for admission to the sisterhood of states. So far she has met refusal.

On the 28th of this month, however, the territory had a most miraculous escape from an honor which might have turned her head and rendered her even more importunate in her efforts to gain for herself what is justly hers and for which she has so long and earnestly worked for. The prohibitionists, in convention assembled, in Pittsburg, had before them as nominees for presidential candidates the names of Joshua Levering of Maryland and L. C. Hughes of Arizona. I Gov.

Hughes' name was withdrawn I The only thing lacking to have se cured the nomination for the governor was a second If there had only been a few of his good Tucson cockleburr friends in attendance their voices raised In his behalf would certainly tave secured the coveted plum, ILLEGAL BOND ISSUES.

IIS TOO Ml! COlf Cleveland Overridden by the House. River and Harbor Bill Goes Through. Representatives Now Are Talklne of an Early Adjournment of Congress. WASHINGTON, June 2. The.

approaching end of the session was Impressed upon the nouse by several suggestions today. A rule from the committee on rules for meetings of tha house at 11 o'clock, an hour earlier than usual during the remainder of the session was adopted. Mr. Dingley of Maine called attention to the fact that several appropriation bills were yet In conference. He said he noticed that many members were leaving the city and begged the other members to lie-main and keep a quorum.

His appeal was reinforced by Chairman Cannon ot the appropriation committee, who said: "In my judgment there is no probability that this session will end before Wednesday of next week and probably not before Friday or Saturday. If we do not keep a quorum we will not get away for a month." The report of the committee on risers and harbors recommending the passage of the bill over the president's veto, was made by Chairman Hooker and read. The reading was followed by applause, most of it cn the RepubB-can side of the house. Mr. Hooker moved the passage of the bill.

Me. Dockery of Missouri made an earnest effort to have the question debated, but the speaker decided against him. The matter went promptly to vote and was passed 220 to CO. IN THE SENATE. Morrill Lays Down the Law on toe Tariff.

His earnest manner and strong gave no iadi-cation of his advanced age. Senator Morrill referred to the emergency tariff bill passed by the houe, and said: "The Democrats have broken away from the leadership of their president and while marching to drum and fife in North Carolina, are in much dread lest the Populists should get control of their party; they seem to be in a hurry-to become Populists themselves." The senator declared the Republican natty never would make a trade of its principle on the money question in order to secure higher tariff duties.
