COMMODORE NICHOLSON.
Official Report OF His Actions at Alex.
andria-Americans all Safe.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Rear- Admiral
Nicholson, commanding the European sta
ton, makes a report to the Navy Depart
ment upon the state of affairs at AleNan-
dria, under date of July 5, 1882. He says:
The riot of the 1lth of June was certainly
accidental. II progressed for nearly two
hours before becoming alarming. After
that time, as the news spread among the
populace, it became fanatical, and all for
eigners met with on the streets were as
saulted-
The original dispute was between q
Greek or Maltese and an Arab The
rioters were augmented by the Bedouins
residing outside the walls, who rushed in
town for plunder and pillage. This the
authorities stopped as soon as possible, by
closing the city gates.
Since the day of the riot panic has
existed among the foreigners, and their
exodus has been very great. The first
instant / called upon Governor Omar
Pasha and stated that as America was at
peace with hiscountry, l did not consider
it proper American naval officers, in order
to prevent insult or attack, should be
obliged to visit the shore out OF their
uniform, and asked whether it
would be safe for them to go there in their
uniforms. He replied he thought it was
safe, provided they came ashore in the day,
and did not visit the outskirts; but to make
sure of it, he would detail an officer of his
guard to accompany any and all officers from
the fleet who might wish to land, which
offer l accepted, and accordingly issued a
special order for the officer TO visit Alexan-
dria only between 10 A. N. and p. N, and
then only in uniform and in company with
On officer Of the Egyptian army.
The only Americans can learn Of at
present are two missionaries on board the

hoDeSons Chances.
SiSecicI Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Gen. Gilmore of
the Mississippi river commission said to-
night that the commission would proceed
at once to stop the gaps in the leyees as
soon as the river and harbor bill was sign
ed' lie said the work would soon begin at
the head OF the passes. He thought the
amount originally appropriated by the
river and harbor bill ($4lOO,OOO amply
sufficient for the work to be done by the
commission this summer There is reason
TO believe that some of the commission
friends in the House share this belief and
that, having gotten the extra 5000 600 on
IN the Senate, they are net trying TO keep
1t there, but are content to pose as the
only men who can get and keep an an
PioPFlaton Tor the Mississippi in contra
distinction from the Senators.

THE TAX BILL.
Discrimination Against American
Built Reducing Taxation.


Built ships Reducing Taxation.
Special Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, July lin the House the
bill to allow a drawback of duties on for
eign material to be used on the construc-
ton or repairs of foreign ships, was taken
up, the pending question being on Ran
dolph fuckers amendment, extending its
provisions to vessels constructed for do
mestic use. Kelly moved to recommit the
bill to the ways and means committee, but
Keifer ruled that the ayes and nays having
been called on Saturday, when the Republi-
cans broke up quorum by refusing to
vote, the motion was out of order. Finally
the vote ordering the ayes and nays was re-
considered and the bill went over until to-
morrow.
A Democratic caucus was held this morn
ing, when it was decided that a full debate
on all the amendments offered to the tax
bill should be insisted upon. While it was
not definitely agreed upon, the general
sentiment expressed was, that the Demo,
Gratis should oppose the reduction on per-
fumery. cosmetics, patent medicines, &c,
and insist on a substantial reduction ol
taxation on those articles which are necesi'
ties. They also determined to support Mr.:
Beck's amendment, that all taxes and
custom dues imposed by the United States
under the law enforced for the collection OF
duties on imports from foreign countries
shall be subject to a discount of 10 pei
centum after January lst, 1888, and to 8
discount of an additional 10 per cent. after
July lst 1888.
