1t is rumored here to-day, on what au
thority is not DIT fnitely known, but said to be
from the British legation. that in case Of a
war between England and Russia the British
Government will Immediately impose a
heavy import duty on American grain as
the most available means at its disposal for
raising portion of the large sum it will re
quire to carry on that war. 1t WILL so the
report goes. have the less hesitation in
adopting this means because of the high
duty the American Government imposes
upon all English products
A gentleman from Philadelphia, here to-
day, says that portion of the cargo of the
British steamship which recently arrived at
Alexandria loaded with fertiliziogphosphate
was carried in canal boats to his! city. He
also says that he understands the port and
pilot charges of the vessel al Alexandria
were considerably less than they would
have been at any other port on the Atlantic
coast, and he wonders why Alexandria has
not larger foreign trade than she has at
present.
1t has been reported that ex- Congressman

It is understood that when the new inter-

his voice when Colonel Friedley questioned
him about Wright but gave neither him nor
Webber reason for suspicion. Colonel
Friedley dismissed him telling him to bp at

Friedlcys arm and exclaimed, For Gods

who shot mo and Davis" A warrant was
then made out for Chambers arrest, and
