LATEST FROM WASH.
The Argument Of J. P. G. Kennedy

The Argument OF j. Z. u. Kennedy.
GREAT LOSS OF REVENUE.
Postage Stamps at a Dis
count.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
The Committee on Education and
Labor, to-day, heard further argument
from j. Z. G. Kennedy, in opposition
to any restriction OF Chinese immigra-
ton in the United States. The Com
mittee will near the conclusion of his
argument next Thursday.
The officers of the Postoflice Depart
ment estimate hat the Revenue De-
partments are now suffering a loss of
not less than a quarter of a million
dollars per month, by the flood OF
stamps sold by Postmasters at small
country offices, at a discount, for use
in cities and towns. The Postmaster
at st. LOUIS alone, shows that his office
is defrauded OF revenue to the amount
of $50, 900 per annum in this way.
Senator Jones to-day expresses a be.
lief that all the Senate amendments to
the Silver bill will be adjusted by the
House, under a suspension of the
rules. He says he has no doubt that
the Secretary of the Treasury will eff
GENTLY carry its promises into effect by
utilizing all the available capacity of
the MINIS for the coinage of silver bull
lion, and that in the event OF that OH
Ger manifesting any disposition to re-
strict silver coinage to the base of 81
600 600 per month, as prescribed by the
bill, which seems to be apprehended
by some members of the House, it
will be very easy for either branch of
Congress to stimulate his action by
means of an admonishing resolution.
The incorporation of Booths amend
ment by the Senate INTO the bill has
decidedly strengthened it with the
leaders of silver remonetiZing, and has
obviated the danger of bringing the
law into unpopu!arity through accu-
mutations of unweildly silver coin in
the hands of business firms and insti-
tutions without the convenient means OF
handling it.
Two Shooting S~crapes-One Fatal.
DEADWOOD, ID. L., EeO. 10.
Geo. Alder, formerly of Chicago,
and Thos. Garvey, of Montana, part
ners in the Spring Valley ranch, 50
miles from here, on the Sidney road,
became involved in a quarrel respect
ing the merits of their respective dogs,
and from words they came to blows.
Garvev struck Alder with a hammer,
whereupon the latter retreated to his
cabin, and, procuring a revolver, shot
Garvey dead. Alder is now under
arrest.
This afternoon, Park McGovern, a
notorious character, and some years
! ago the terror of the Sweetwater min
ing country, became involved in a
quarrel with James Ludwig, a well
known business man of Central City;
both drew revolyers and fired stimuli
taneously, Ludwig's fire taking effect,
the ball passing through both of Me-
Governs thighs. The wounds are re-
garded as dangerous. That Mr.. Lud-
wig was justified in using his pistol,
is the universal opinion of the best
citizens of Deadwood.
