The Indian War.

PORTLAND, Oregon, July s.
The following dispatch has been received
from Lewiston, via Walla Walla, dated
July I'd; Colonel Whipple and his COM
mand had an engagement with Looking
GLASS; band on Clearwater creek, to-day,
four Indians being killed and left on the
field. Many others were wounded. The
squaws and children took to the water, and
several were drowned. The fighting was
still gong on when the courier left Look
ing Glass's band is estimated by scouts to
number 400. The courier arrived this morn
ing, having left General Howards camp on
the night of June Goth. The troops had
made the crossing that day, and the
scouts who had been out on the hills
found considerable stock, but no Indians.
The latter are believed to be gone
down towards the mouth of the Salmon and
to be making for Gray's crossing, thence
crossing the Snake river at at the mouth of
the Grandroude. Dispatches were for
warded to Walls Walla to be telegraphed
so as to apprise: e:persons on the Grandrone
and Walla Walla valleys that they may be
on the lookout. A private letter states that
the body of Lieut. Theller had been found
and several other bodies, and near by q
great number of empty cartridges which
gave proof that they sold their lives dearly.
Late en- Saturday some Nez Perces, Palons
and Spocemancs and some other northern
Indians held council ten miles north of
Colur dAlene camp on Hangmans creek,
at which the murderers of Richie were
present. A majority of the council ap-
proved of the killing aud the minority had
separated from the others and wanted to
go back to the reservation, but were afraid
to go lest they should be attacked by the
whites. The Colur d'Alenes offer to send
out ten men Of their number to accompany
few white settlers to bring in the muir
derers of Ritchie. The whites have no
arms to spare to go with the Colur d d'Alenes,
and a messenger is in town for arms.

The President and Blaine.

WASHINGTON, July 5.
During conversation to-day between
the president and western senator allusion
was made by the latter to the speeches de-
livered yesterday by Chamberlain and
Blaine, when the president said he had not
yet read but only heard something of their
remarks, especially in condemnation of his
southern policy. He had high respect
for these gentlemen, and, as far as
he knew, his personal relations between
them and himself were of friendly charac-
ter. He could not object to free express
sion of opinion by them. Their ideas of
his public duty were different from his
own, but of that he did not complain. He
had acted from sense of duty in order to
accomplish complete reconciliation in the
south. He was willing to leave to time q
vindicatlon Of his course.

a NEW FIRE ExTINGUIsHER.

A new firc-extinguishing chemical com
pound has been lately devised, which, III It's
application for extinguishing fires, is quite
different from the fire annihilators in general
use. The new composition is a mixture OF
chemicals which, on being ignited. evolve
sulphurous acid and carbonic acid gases,
which fill the apartment or building, produc-
ing an atmosphere which smothers combus-
ton. A successful trial of the invention
was recently had in front of the City Hall
in this city. A beard shanty, IL feet square
and 10 feet high, was erected, to represent
