The Olympia "Standard" states that

place between the Cinnamon employed on
the Puyallup hop-felds and those having
direction Of the work. A few days ago, a
dispute arose between the overseer in
charge of Byan and Avery's field and q
Chinaman, which led to blows in which
the white man was worsted, but the mat
ter did not end with resort to the wea-
pons provided by nature. The latter pro-
cured a revolver and commenced an in
discriminate slaughter of the celestials
the first shots killing two Cinnamon, and
he succeeded in wounding two Others be-
fore he could be restrained in his bloody
work. Great excitement prevails in con-
sequence of this sanguinary encounter.

PUGET SOUND ARGUS.
LOCAL NEWS.

General W. Il. Sherman, Commander
Of the Armies Of the United States, arrived
here on Thursday last on the Cutter VOL
cutt from Victoria, having visited Belling-
ham Bay, San Juan Island, Fidalgo Is
land and Deception Pass, on the lower
Sound, and from thence to Victoria and
Esquimalt, where he was received with
the honors due his high rank. From Vic
toria, he proceeded to view the garrison at
Port Townsend which he thoroughly in
spected, and said 1t was a well constructed
post and desirable station for all officers
and troops who have served in the hot
counties of Sonora and Southern Califor-
mia. Gen. Sherman was accompanied by
his son, and by Gen. Poe, and Col. Bacon,
his aids. From the garrison, the party
came to Port Townsend for few hours
visit, and was received by Hon. Henry A.
Webster, Collector of Customs, in his Of
flee in the Custom House, where they were
called on by number OF our citizens. Gen.
Poe, Col. Bacon, and Mr.. Sherman visited
Judge Swans office to examine his collec-
ton of Indian manufactures and speci-
mems in natural history, with all Of which
they were very much interested, particu'
larly young Sherman who is gentleman
OF cultivated scientific taste. Genera
Sherman and son then proceeded to the
residence of Collector Webster where they
dned. Gen. Poe and Col. Bacon were
the guests of Col. Briggs, Deputy Collec'
tor, at the Central Hotel. The whole
party then passed the evening at Collector
Webster's, and at 10P NJ, went on boaro
the Wolcott and left for Olympia and Other
places on the Sound. Unfortunately the
weather was cloudy and rainy, and the
distinguished visitors had no opportunity
of seeing the fine scenery from the hill,
which they all regretted. Gen. Sherman
remarked that the military post should
have been here and the town Of Port
Townsend where the Garrison Is. 1t was
intimated that two companies will shortly
arrive here and occupy the post of Fort
Townsend.

A FEW days ago the sad news came to
hand that couple of unfortunate men
were out IN Port Discovery Bay in a small
boat when, by a wind squall, 1t was cap
sized. One Of them succeeded in swim
ming ashore near Keynes spit where he
was picked up several hours aiterward,
more dead than alive. The other poor
fellow was undoubtedly drowned, as the
boat was picked up near the mouth of the
bay minus an occupant, and nothing fur
ther has developed since. As the men
were strangers, we have not learned their
names.

AT the Port Townsend Hospital, Capt.
Lofgreen OF the bark Emerald, is rapidly
recovering from the results of his Self-in-
flicted injuries, and will doubtless be able
to resume command of his vessel by the
time she is ready for sea. A singular IA
tality seems to hover over this bark, for
although she is but 25 yeart old, five Of
her captains have lost their lives within
that time-three being washed overheard
and drowned and two having been killed
at the wheel. The Emerald will complete
her load of lumber at Gamble in about ten
days when she will sail for Valparaiso,
thence to Callao and Newcastle.

ANOTHER ROORBACK
Senator HOWe's Alleged Speech in
Senate Caucus.
UNTRUE AS USUAL

The following dispatches are selfexplan
atory, and need no comment:
NEW ORLEANS, January 30, 1880 P. NJ.
To Hon. William P. Kellogg, WillArds Hotel, Wash.
ingtoI:
Washington special to Times this evening
says:
Senator Howe, of the Louisiana investi-
cation committee, startled the Senate eau
Gus last night by his speech on the Louisi-
ana question. He said that there had been a
great deal of fraud in Louisiana, but it had
not all been on one side. While the Return.
ing Board was organized according to law,
yet there were allegations, which were in a
fair way to be proved, that it had altered
the returns to produce certain results. If
this were so, he for one would not support
it, or sustain any government organized un-
der it a minute. His speech vast a perfect
surprise, and has much weakened the hopes
of the Republicans, who looked for favor
able report from him.
Is this true? Answer,
S. B. PACKARD.
WASHINGTON, January 30, 1877, $40 P. n.
To Governor S. B. Packard New Orleans;
No. Howe made no such speech. All the
Republican members of the committee will
report that you and Hayes carried the
State Everything looks well generally.
Stand firm. Pay no attention to lying dis
patches. -

A Wa shingtOn special, January q, to the
New York Graphic, says:
Now that the excitement is over politicians
are beginning to speculate as to the prob
able result of the whole matter. l find that
Republicans believe and Democrats fear
that it will result III the choice OF Hayes.
For this there are two reasons given:
l. There is ne way the tribunal can be
constituted which will not give majority
of Republican judges. They have been
identified with the party, were appointed
by Republican Presidents, and whatever
bias they may have will be In favor of the
party in power.
9. The judicial mind cares quite as much
for precedent and form as for equity. The
judges would be loath to go behind the re-
turns, aud, while Of course such q formal
irregularity as that involved in the Oregon
dispute will be easily settled, the fact that
the Hayes electors have the certificates IN
Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina will
go very far toward their being recognized
By the judges, who dread violating forms.
