wAsHIxoroS LETTER.
Oar Correspondent. on Arizona and
 Geaerni Appointments.

WAsHNarox, March 23.--It is likely that an extra session will be called, provided President Cleye- land thinks 1t worth while to send the treaty again so the Senate, It is understood that one object in sending ex-Congrsssman Bl0unt to Hawaii is to try to discover some huge plot set up by the Harrison administration to f0ment an insnr- rection there and bring about the application for annexation which was made. IL Is known that parties came here from Hawaii nearly . year ago suggesting that an over throw of the Queens Government there and an application for annex ation to the United States might be made, and the ambition of this ad- ministration apparently is to sec if it cannot find some traces of i'm proper encouragement of that prop osition by the Harrison administra- ton.
 The formation of the finance committee was an additional evil dence to Mir. Cleveland that he will have to exercise every art which his position and power give him to con troi or bring into line with himself a majority of the members. He knows that no lever is more potent than that of office giving. and for that reason it is believed, as well as for others, he will delay appoint ment making until congress gets into session, and he can thus have the power to dictate the course of that class of members who are unde- termined in their course and willing to aceede to his wishes if they can carry favor and get advantages for themselves by so doing.
 On this subject of the next ses- sion, it is worth while to remark that there IS some reason for believ- ing that an extra session may be called in September or October. with the intention of keeping con gross in session from that date until the time for it's regular meeting in December. The fact that Mir. Cleveland has apparently determin- cd to hold back the Hawaiian treaty for the present and not give the Senate an opportunity to act on it at this session strengthens this theory of an extra session. Every body recognizes the fact that there is great danger that Engleud may slip in and capture Hawaii if we de lay the annexation. 0 PA.

rHE BIG SCRAP.

The latest round in the ring con test now going on in Washington is that the interest in the guberna- tional and other appointments has become SO intense that it has begun to grow absolutely painful though the demeanor of Hon. Thos. Parish suggests serene complacency. In fact Mir Parish appears to be con fdent of success. It is said that influence in his favor has grown at Washington and that several promi- nent senators who have previously not been unidentified with the scrimage have lent their assistance to the Farsh forces. It is also re- ported that endorsements and re- commendations which it issupposed will clinch his victory were for warded to Washington last night.
 The friends of Mir. Dennis also profess confidence which is shared by that gentleman alloyed though by a growing fear that if the con test is not soon brought to a head the appointment will go to some one outside the territory.
 There was a rumor last night which could not be confirmed that pr. Hughes had withdrawn from the race and had directed his rep resentatives at Washington to exert themselves in favor of Dennis.
 A telegram was received from Mark Smith yesterday afternoon stating on authority that the ap pointment would surely be made .beforesthe end of the week, though it contained no indications as to the identity of the appointee.
 From the most reliable informa- ton available it appears that Parish not only has the pole, but is also more than neck ahead.

THE oURERNAroRIAL FIaKr.

The latest received from Wash ington is contained in the Phenix Republican of the 22d, and is as follows:
 ''No Arizona appointments were made to-day and none were even considered by the President, though Secretary Smith received calls from friends of all the candidates for governor. The secretary is much annoyed aud perplexed at the per sistency of the Arizona contingent, and told one of the delegations that he had about concluded to settle the matter by recommending an outsider-probably a Georgia man for the place. So far as the terri torial candidates are concerned, the situation has not changed from yes terday, though l.. c. Hughes stands fully as we'll, while Zulick and Mark Smith are hurting Dennis somewhat by pushing him in season and out of season. The appointment may not be made for several days yet, and it need not surprise anyone if the nominee should happen to be g non- resident of the territory"
 This course of Secretary Smith is the proper thing, and shows that even the great and good Zulick, if he is clothed with the garb and authority of Arizona democracy cannot bull doze the administration as he did the council two years ago at Pnenix. He is getting to be Jonah to any cause he would es- pouse, and 1t seems his political star is setting. We do not believe, on the other hand, Cleveland is a strictly home rule man, anyway, on territorial appointments and his threat to appoint governor from the outside, is but natural conclu- sian. Yavspai democrats are, as usual, lying quiet, and do not open their mouths or signify their will ingless sto enter the gubernatorial squabble. Whether tfis is due to a lack of interest in the spells system, or from fear of wrath to come from Zuliok, we do not know. Anybody 1 will suit Yayapai, even a man from Georgia, so send him along in a hurry.

Chinese Registraslon.

A San Francisco Telegram say. that Collector Quinn says that ths Geary registration act makes it hi. duty to arrest, after May 5, ever, Chinese laborer who has not regis tered; and unless he receives othe, instuctions from Washington he will follow out the law to the letter In speaking of the matter he said il would be big undertaking, but the government would do all that would be necessary in enforceing laws Jails will hold a large number and Angel Island can be utilized in ac- commodation of others. The Six Companies still keep up their fight against the registration, and with the exception of members of the Chinese Masonic society and ser wants of Americans noae are regis tering.

RAILROAD ExEmrTloN.

The principal measure being con-
 sidered by the present legislature is
 the exemption of railroads from
 taxation. It is proposition wherein
 is fraught two questions-whether
 the industries of the territory are to
 remain in sleepy and undeveloped
 state, or whether capital is to be in
 vested to reclaim the country and
 make it accordingly prosperous and
 and progressive. The council has chosen the latter view and is to be
 heartily congratulated on the wis dom of it's action. Our representa- tive, Hon. John J. Hawkins, made gallant fight for the measure and he deserves much praise for his conduct in SO candidly and appreciatively
 considering a measure that savers of so much public good. He evidently grasped the era of good times the present new road is giving to the people, and with a magnanimous and unselfsh spirit was willing to give other sections alike the same bless ings. In the house, the measure is yet to be voten on. Messrs. Behan, Burke and Cook, we hear, are al- ready pronounced in favor of ex- emption, and signify by their actions that they are of type of legisla- tors in whom the people could depend for good solid work. Rail road exemption means much to all of the territory, and while the pres ent bill is a clincher on intending purchasers of this privilege, it is, nevertheless, one that should be made into law by the house with out dessenting voice. Give to the territory any inducement a large outlay of capital wishes in any line, and particularly a railroad. The more We have of such institutions the more readily will prosperity come. Keep men of wealth out, and aside from an occasional oasis in the desert, Arizona's smouldering hills will be numbered by the same number in the next decade she now has.

THE CAPITAL.

A private letter received yester. day from the south says that bill has been drafted looking to the removal of the territorial capital from Phenix, and if passed will ask the different cities of Arizona to bid on the amount they are willing to subscribe toward the erection of 8 capitol building, and a committee will wait on the city council to have the old dam at Maierville filled up, and will give besides twenty dollars in cash. Wickenburg has not yet been heard from. Phenix comes to the front with $l5O,OO0 on three days notice, and is greatly worried over the silence of the legislators, fearing that the joke may be car ried too far-iust like the .SaOra- msnto affair.

THE SLATE.

4 member of the Arizona contin- gent at Washington, writing to a friend, makes some guesses, based on the look of things there, as to some of the future officers of Ari- zona. He thinks that Foster s. Dennis pull tor pole) will knock of the governor persimmon. For Chief Justice 4. c. Baker seems to have the lead, while Col. J. F. Wilson, he thinks, will be the successor of Judge Wells in this district. Heney ooms up as the successful candi- date for United States Attorney, while the marshalship seems to be between Dr. Thornton and Al Pratt. No mention is made of secretary or of the other offices.

PoLIrAcAL PuaILIsaa.

PoLITACAL PUGILisA.
 The political fight of Arizona democrats in Washington is evident
 Iy taking it's cue in tactics from the
 mode of the Chinese highbiders in
 San Francisco, and is raging in it's
 intensity, according to a late letter
 received. The principal feature of
 the combat seems be that An Josh
 Zulick, representing one company in
 the Arizona ki-yi conference, buried
 the chop-sticks with Ah Sin Hughes,
 of Tucson, and agreed to support
 him in his claims for the mandarin
 of Arizona He has, however,
 proved to be, as usual, traitorous
 eoolie. Gaze on the picture of two
 Confuciuses lying together in a
 Tucson seventh-heaven ''joint,"
 peacefully and contently twirling
 the "hop" on political needle, and
 then watch the drowsy expression of
 both, as the fumes escape, when each, in a semi-unconscious state
 feels that mutuality and friendship
 for each other that this drug is so
 noted for producing. No wonder
 their relations were cemented iB
 strong ties of regard at the time, and how could it be otherwise. But draw on the picture, after the sun shine of life is reached, and after the effect of the drug was passed. Zulick skulking up some narrow and dark alley, waiting patiently and eagerly with his deadly blum derbus to silence his former com panion in the great smoke of peace, all because An Joey Parish, his former China boy servant. who used tn dog-trot with two coal cans on a beam to neighbors filled with fresh punks, had sprung up and seeded iron the shrine and belief of the Gre,.l Josh. He knew too much of the past, and it would not do for him to permit a man to pardon any foreign collie" and mingle with an outside company, no matter how many thousand taels might be given. Besides, before the vision of Josh, be beheld his former servile gradu- ally climbing upward to the long whiskered Pagan, and he must like wise down him, for An Sin Hughes "jabbers" were desert ing to the other companies, and making it, accordingly, interesting to the opponents of Joey Parish. What he could he do. As every company of the six has a fol- lowing, he goes where he thinks he is not known, and chooses Mickie Free Dennis, of the Mohaye tribe in the northern part of the empire. What disposition he will make with the ease of his last victim is eonundrum, but, at the same time, it is reasonable to presume that Mr. Dennis will be executed in the regu- lar Chinese style, and the only living recollection of his fight will be his memory. The great China doctor Joe An Joe Hughes, is an alfalfa peddler of Phenix, and too fresh with saline matter, which seems to be his only prescription for every i'll. So the question of assassination and highbinderism stands. Zoolick tying fire crackers onto the tails of any he chooses, and at the same time keeping out of range when the occurs. 1t makes no diff ference though after the thing is evened up in the usual Chinese style. There will be a grand New Year blowout, old debts and sores will be paid and healed in the usual Mongollian style, and to 8 man, will l the vote for Mogul Zulick be cast | for United States senator from Arizona by democrats.

THE eovERNoHsHIp.

The following Washington dis patch affects a we'll known former resident of this city. It is published in the Phenix Republican:
 A new Richmond has appeared in the field in the person of E. Burgess, who halls from Prescott and has a pocket full of petitions setting forth bis qualifications for governor, but his candidacy IS not seriously re- garded-n not even as dark horse. Eight years sgo, through the infu- ence of the late Senator Barbour of Virginia, he was sent to Prescott as register of the land office, but has no political pull in Washington now. With his long array of peti- tions, he reminds Washington peo- pie of a candidate for fourth class postoffice than for the honorable and high position of governor.
 Colonel Burgess candidacy is all right, because we have the manhood to say that he belongs to old Yava- pal. in sentiment, body and soul. Besides, he has pleasing address, is able, and, as everybody in this section knows, is not inflated and pufFed up with his own bearing, like the average who seek a snap. If register of 8 land office is any quail 6cation for the duties of an execu- tive, Burgess should be sent at once to close the Arizona legislative scrap on appointments. Yavapai demo- crsts should rise en masse and pull for him, and not let such favorable opportunity slip, a "move on" will save the cause and the day. MT. Burgess claims deserve better con- sideration than those of the post master at Frog Tanks, which seems lo be the aim of the above paper in impressing the public.

 Hughes, of Tncson, recently gave it hard to Smith, of the Interior He corrected the Sonora story of Pete Kitchen.
 "Pinheadr Hughes. who wants to be governor, is working of whole lot of dry jokes on Secretary Smith, Smith only laughs.
 Irrigation bills are mighty thick during this session of the legisla- ture, while members are reported to be doing a wholesome lot of ''irVi- gating" also.
 Private sdyices from Phenix say the weather is getting warm, and the novelty of Legislation has worn oG. Stay by the racket, boys.
 Zulick, the baldhsaded prophet and slick worker, does not like Gro yer's machine stStesmanship. Go back to Alfalfatown, where you can herd the hogs as you want to.

 There is gentleman from Pres colt who may yet head the way to office of Governor of the Territory. --Phenix Herald. This is certainly good news for Yavapal.
 Cleveland will probably visit the Pacific coast this fall. But he is on to the Prescott contingent, and will go via the Panama route, to keep out of range.
 We would advise Secretary Smith of the Interior to send full batch of Georgians to Arizona to fill the various offices, and then let the Ari- zona pap-suekers fight it out in a big ring.
 Mines will soon be mines in this section, and if you don't believe 1t, tackle a miner with common looking prospect and see how silly he would knock you down with a bonanza figure.

A KICK,

Several republicans here state that this paper is devoting considerable space to democracy and its causes. They are dead right. We enjoy a free show as much as anyone, and as there are no republican actors to brandish the assassins' dirk into the hides of each other in this demo cratic tragedy, we'enjoy front seat immensely just to see how the plot ripens and applaud when the cur tain falls.
