Civil Rights In New Phase. ''
---O One evening last week, Joseph Selig-
man, q wealthy Jew of New York, went to
Saratoga, and as has been bis custom for
years, stopped at the hotel belonging to the
estate of the late A. T. Stewart. The mana
ger of the hotel refused him admission, saying
that he was acting under orders from Judge
Hilton, Mr.. Stewards executor, who had Civ
On instructions to him to entertain no Jews at
the hotel hereafter. Mr.. seligman returned
to New York in high dudgeon, and penned a
very sarcastic note to Judge Hilton. The
Judge says in reply that the proscriptiye or
der was made at the instance of Mrs. Stewart.
Though he contends that such guests as Mr..
Seligman drive custom from first-class hotels,
and that they are not desirable at any Of 1.-The
watering places. An Indignation meeting,
composed of the Jews of New York, has been
held, and besides the social problem involved,
the affair may lead to financial intricacies be-
tween this Government and the Rothschilds
bankers, of Europe, as intimated in the fol.
lowing Washington dispatch:
Information received here indirectly from
the Rothschilds, but undoubtedly with their
sanction, places that firm in the position OF
opponents to our four per cent loan, and all
our credit, if Judge Hilton's insult to Joseph
Seligman means an entering wedge to the so
cial prescription of the Jews in America. II
is evident, from these statements and hints
that the Rothschilds are angrily excited about
the matter, and ready, if this is intended as
even social menace from the American peo'
pie, to stand aloof from any further connec
ton with American financial transactions, ma
tional, municipal or corporate. The Jews
here say that they are bound to prosecute the
Saratoga matter under the Civil Rights bills
on account of the misapprehensions and injury
to our business interests that might result, il
the Jewish capitalists Of Europe should get
wrong impressions about it deep-seated
enoug gh to cause lasting prejudice. Secretary
Sherman denounced the act of Judge Hilton
in severe terms. The general impression here
is, however, among Jews and Christians, that
Judge Hilton is running his hotel upon per-
sonally sentimental, rather than business
basis, and that he does not express the senti.
ment of the American people, or the theory
Of our Government in his action, and our of:
ficials advise his prosecution to the fullest ex-
tent of the Civil Rights law.

sual extent, it being anticipated the rabbis
would have something to say concerning the
subject of the controversy. In most of the
synagogues the subject was not touched. The
exceptions we're the congregations of Bethel,
Lexington avenue and 55th street, the Tenn.
pie of Emanuel, 9th avenue and 43rd street,
and Sheavith Israel, No. 5, West 18th street.
The pastors Of the separate churches declared
that the Importance of the subject had been
greatly magniied, and that no great princi'
pie was involved, the whole subject being
simply personal controversy between two
individuals.
