RAILWAY EQUALIZATION.
Annual Meeting Held in Phoenix of
 the Territorial Board.

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 diff fculty of levying upon it an assess ment, but was stated to be willing to pay both for 1895 and 1896 territorial taxes upon eight and 2S-100 cars, the proportion of it's rolling stock op- erated 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 noti- fy 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 B. B. Ellinwood. The rate per mile was fixed at 5000, 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 it's property and upon which it pays taxes in the several counties through which the road pass eS.
 The assessment of the New Mexico & Arizona road, that runs from Benson to Nogales, was considered especially in reference to an error in the assess ment last year. A penalty of $1 200 had been imposed for the non-listing of the road with the board. This pen atty, on proper showing, had been re- scinded, 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 anC the assessment of the Bisbee road were however, little more than touched up on and were held over for considera tion today,

sentative of the voting strength of the city. It has cast in county elections over 800 votes and conservative es- innate of the voters within the city limits is 1,2O0. Only 692 of these reg istered and of these only 506 went to the polls.
 The new mayor was the recipient last night of many and most sincere con- gratulations and the general opinion was that Phoenix in the coming year would have prosperity commingled with honest and progressive govern ment
 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 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 advance ment of the city and in the interest of good and progressive government. Other speakers were Judge J. H. Kip bey, chairman of the Republican terri torial central committee, Councilman elect Gang and B. Heyman. A sere- made was also rendered 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 men toned Messrs. Lowell, Buck, Evans, Molloy and Hayes, who labored early and late for the success of the candi- date

HIS VETO DIDN'T COUNT Cleveland OVerridden by the House. River and Harbor Bill Goes
 Through. Representatives Now Are Talking of an Early Adjournment of
 Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The. ap- preaching end of the session was ina pressed upon the house by several sug- gestions today A rule from the corR- mittee on rules for meetings of the house at Il o'clock, an hour earlier than usual during the remainder of the session was adopted. MT. 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 re- main and keep quorum. His appeal was reinforced by Chairman Cannon of the appropriation committee, who said: Tn my judgment there is no probabA- ity that this session will end before Wednesday of next week and probably not before Friday or Saturday. If we do not keep quorum we will not get away for a month.'
 , The report of the committee on riy- CTS and harbors recommending the passage Of the bill over the presidents veto, was made by Chairman Hooker and read. The reading was followed by applause, most of it CD the RepubA- can side of the house. Mr. Hooker moved the passage of the bill MT. 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 50.

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 meet ing the mayor-elect will become mayor de facto. At the same meeting the va cant chair in the Second ward repre- sentation will be taken by Emil Gang, unanimously the choice of the citizens of his ward for councilman.
 Yesterdays election was quiet one i1 every respect Mot once did the ser vices of the police need to be called into requisition to suppress any bois- terous conduct at the polls or upon the streets, and the counting of the votes in the evening was attended by none save amicable conditions. The saloons of the city, as ordered by stat ute, were closed during the time of voting, from to 5, and not an intoxi- cated man could be found A few car
 
 denoted the presence of the rustling committee on either side of the politi- cal fence, but votes came slow and a short vote was boiled
 The Australian 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 Gang for councilman in the second ward The second compartment bore the heading of the Democratic party, con- prising John H. Burger for mayor and Emil Gang for councilman The third subdivision was placed in considera- 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 vot- ing for and against the question of is suing city bonds in $10,OO0 for the pur- pose of paying fire department bonds of 1886 and also on the question of is- suing city bonds in the sum of $39, 800 for the purpose of funding the present city indebtedness now outstanding in warrants.
 There were a number of ballots CT 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 by the clerks. and stood as follows:

HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT.
1 He Was a Candidate for the Prohibi- 1 tion 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 18th 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 prohibi- tionists, in convention assembled, in Pittsburg, Pa., had before them as nominees for presidential candidates the names of Joshua Levering of Mary land and l.. c. Hughes of Arizona. Gov. Hughes name was withdrawn and Mir. Lowering nominated by accla nation. Two names were then pre- sented for second place on the ticket Hale Johnson and L. c. Hughes. Again Arizona's breath came short and-Mr Hale was nominated. The whisky men of Arizona can now breathe cas- fly, for the crisis is past.
 The only thing lacking to have se- cured the nomination for the governor was a second If there had only been few of his good Tucson cockleburr friends in attendance their voices raised in his behalf would certainly have secured the coveted plum.
