REPORT.
NEW YORK.


New York, June 2.+Seligman's
friends, in response 70 Hiiton's state
ment that their position in the syndi-
cate is distasteful 10 other members,
declare that their relations with Sell
igman Ibave always been OF b most
satisfactory character.
Among the five houses named as
! having closed accounts with Stewart Il
Co. because of this controversy are
Coleman Bros. and Neustadter Bros,
of San Francisco. lf ttL
The Times, on tile authority of Jesse
Seligman, names thirteen respectable
gentlemen who have written letters
disappearing Hilton's course. No
prominent Hebrew is named In the list,
but Seligman's friends say they are
overwhelmed with. letters of sympathy
from all classes. The newspapers are
overwhelmed with communications ex-
pressing with equal sharpness both
sides Of the controversy. Seligman
denies that there has been any personal
quarrel between the members of Selig-
man and the Stewart or Hilton families.
Several other Hebrew families are
named whose applications for rooms at
the Grand Union hotel have been de-
MED this season, without, however, any
offensive eason being assigned. Hill
ton admits distinctly to the World
reporter that in his conversation with
the hotel manager, Claire, Joseph Sell
igman's name was mentioned and
Claire vas given to understand that
people of that kind were not desired. At
the same time be insists that their X
clusion is not decreed as q prescription
of religious faith; that it is not a ques-
ton of faith, but Of manners. He de-
clares he is glad the issue has been
made, and scouts the idea of any sue
cessful suit for damages. The move
ment for n public indignation meeting
is apparently generally abandoned.

THE INDIAN WAR.

The Red Devils at Their Hellish Work
| Lewiston, June 2l.-The Indians have
killed every man on Salmon river but
let the women and children live. A
company of cavalry and jim Lawter,
an Indian, and forty of his men came
to Lewiston to-day. All the employees
and all whites of Kamiah reservation,
at Lapwai, abandoned their homes and
have come to Lewiston. A party just
returned from q scout to Granderonde
river came upon q party of warriors of
about fifty on the south side of Snake
river, who appeared to be making their
way to Wallowa.
The Indians have got the best of the
soldiers up to this time. They have
killed about thirty and driven them
back from White Bird to Mount Idaho.
The killed and wounded up to this
time number about fifty.
1t will take five hundred soldiers to
whip Joseph's band. Winnemucca and
his band are encamped near Cow creek,
in Idaho, armed. They claim to be
peaceable, but the governor t~elagraphed
to Silver City instructions for Winnie
mucca to return, and he refused to do
so, saying he would fight first.
About twenty-five or thirty Indians
from Matheur reservation passed Ma
theur village on Monday, with a band
of horses, going in the direction of the
Weiser country.
1t is reported that the Indians at
Canon City said the government had
better get Agent Rinehart away or he
might get killed. There has been con-
siderable dissatisfaction existing among
the Indians regarding Rhinebart.
