SITUATION IN CHINA. Russia is China's Only
 Friend. IS IT PEACE OR WAR? 1 Russian Fleet Will Occupy Port Arthur-German Instructors
 Dismissed.


 Pelzin, Dec 22-The Chinese gov ernment has granted Russia perlnis-
 sion to winter q squadron at Port Ar
 thur Great Britain demands a Quid
 pro quo if the concessions have been
 made to other powers. Ith has been sug-
 geSted that the Japanese and the Brit
 tish occupy Vie TIai Vie jointly. The
 situation at Kaio Kia remains un- changed.
 The Germans remain unsettled and the Chinese ConsuIs are undecided
 whether it shall be peace or war with Germany. China regards Russia as her only friend. and asks her advice alone British influence is nil, having suffered greatly through the failure of the loan negotiations. China is now negotiating d loan from Russia. The latter demands the dismissal of the British railroad engineers in north China and it is probable that it will be granted. The German drill in Structors will be dismissed. At the eX- piration of their contracts they will be replaced by Russians. Russian of fcerS have already been appointed to drill the troops of North China.

| Members of Congress, having had opportunity to talk over the Cuban situation calmly in the light of the statementsin the Presidents message.
 seem to be thoroughly satisfied with the developments thus far under the
 new administration. The sensational suggestions of eX-SIinister Taylor. that
 the people of the United States should
 rise and demand instant action ire
 spective of it's prospective effect upon
 the country and it's relations with oth-
 CT parts of the world, dOesnot seem to
 met with any response on the part of
 the people. Members of Congress re
 port their constituents well satisfied,
 apparently with the developments so
 far. and quite willing to trust the ad- ministration, which has handled the matter with such success, both in obtaining the release of all American citizens in Cuban prisons and seeing its recommendations to Spain follow ed by propositions of an offer of au- tonomy While the Cuban matter is ] not forgotten, or overlooked by mem | bers of Congress. there is q disposition | to permit the administration to carry | out it's plans.

AN EARLY CITIZEN.

As the close of the year approaches there is naturally q sort of looking backward over the year and often far beyond: this is especially true of our old inhabitants. In casting about Phoe nix to note our pioneers as space and time may permit one naturally notes that sturdy, hardy veteran of the iron tier Hon. J. D. Monihon, of this city, who has probably seen as much of Arizona frontier lifeasany man in the Territory, especially in Phoenix and i'll Central Arizona He entered AriZ- Ona at Yuma in 1861 with the California column just now with iii q few days of thirty-six yeasr ago; the exact date was December +2S, 1S61. After q time at Yuma the California column advanced to the Pima village May 10, 1862. and while it lay there Sergeant J. D. Monihon with a party of officers came over from the Gila into this valley on q hunting trip and found here q great plain of gamma grass and waving chimazaI together with pretty good hunting: but not q sign of q settlers cabin anywhere.
 Mir MOnihon subsequently, went with the troops into New Mexico but iii No vember 1S63, he returned to Chino val ley in Northern Arizona and helped to build WhipDle barracks near Prescott.

 Early in January 1870 AIr AIonihon ] came to this valley and to Phoenix | which by that time had been laid out | and had q few cabins Here he made 1 his home and entered into the business i! of making adObes and erecting build 1 ings with great Vi@or.

Petitions Against the Anti-Scalping Bill.
 Washington, Dec. 23.-The effect of the ticket brokers campaign against the Sherman and CuIlum anti-scalping ] bill is beginning to be apparent. Pc titionS against the measure containing ! thousands of signatures are pouring in from all sections of the country and a good many Congressman when they return from their vacations will find
 it necessary to employ an express wa
 gon to transfer the accumulated peti-
 tiOnS that have been coming through
 the mails to their hotels during their absence from the Capital. Each peti
 ton in the mattero of signatures is dup Heated. one sheet being addressed to the Senate and the other to the House. The stereotyped petition reads as fol lows:
 We earnestly protest against House Bill No. 30,introduced by Mir. Sherman of New York, and Senate Bill No. 15T5 introduced by Mir CuIIun. or any oth- CT similar thereto intended to destroy ticket brokerage, and petition you to examine carefully into their true mean ing and effect if enacted into law. No objection is offered ot Section ,. cover ing fraud.
 T. The bill would destroy natur- al and legal right to dispose of ones property in the open market.

Letter carriers as q rule are very accommodating and well bred people ill most cities but according to a sub urban gentleman and lady of this city who sometimes have occasion to hand a letter to carrier for mailing, he takes it as though the lady should be down on her knees with the letter ele- vated between her clasped hands and the words great and beautiful creat ure your high mightiness is the high est aImightiness that mortal eyes are permitted to rest upon and I am crushed to earth to be obliged to ad- dress you much more to be obliged to ask you to condescend, from your al- titudinous rarity. to the common hu- mans of earth and render me immortal by putting this letter in your sole leather pouch" There are letter car riers and letter carriers and this seems to be a sample of one kind.
