The following was received at the Navy Department this after noon: "CoREi, Juno 28 To the Secretary of the Navy: The Coreans, not apologizing for their treacherous attack on the 10th, I landed on Kangnoe, and took and destroyed the lower fort and munitions. On the 11th took another fort, and then stormed and captured their strong hold. "Five forts were taken. Their troops were re ported at 11,000. There was desperate hand-to-hand fighting in the citadel. The ordnance was destroyed, and four hundred and eighty-one pieces, principally small brass pieces; small arms were very many; fifty flags were also taken. There were counted 243 dead Coreans around the citadel. Our killed were three. The gallant Lieutenant McKee, who was first inside the citadel, was killed by a bullet and spear. Marine Dennis llanrohn and landsman Beth Allen were killed. Our nine wounded are all out of danger and doing well. (Signed) John Kodoers."Q Money Due toy Ex-Collcctors. Washington, June 2S.

IROM THE WEST. Honors to Geneial Sheridan. Chicago, June 28 The Northwestern University has conferred the degree of LL.O. upon Lleutenant Ueneral Philip II. Sheridan. The Rock Island Trouble. In reply to the recent surmise of the Buffalo Com mercial Advertiser, that the recent misunderstanding relative to Rock Island stock was brought about by the publication of an apparently official statement that a stock dividend of one hundred per cent. would soon be declared, the Tribune this morning says "the Chicago, Rock Island and I'actllc Railroad Is a cor poration created originally by the laws of Illinois. "It has received no authority from the Legislature Of Illinois to declare a stock dividend of one hun dred per cent, or any other amount, and the Legis lature Is prohibited by the Constitution from grant ing any such authority. These facts ought to be known to the dullest intellect In Wall street. The bonded debt of the Rock Island Railroad, amounting to nine million dollars, might be converted Into stock if the Legislature should authorize sucu a pro ceeding. "This debt represents thejcapltal actoallyjnvested In the road, and It would be permissible under the constitution of Illinois to pass a law authorizing an Increase of the capital stock of the road, to stand In place of the debt when the latter Is actually ex tinguished, but it would not be permissible to water the stock to the extent of one dime." Railway Accident Two Men Killed. St. Louis, .Tunc 2S. A construction train on the Atlantic and Paclflo Railroad with fifteen laborers on board ran into a hand car near Maselle yester day. All the laborers on the train but one were pre . clpltated down an embankment twenty feet high, falling on broken rocks. One of the cars fell on George Saunders, killing him Instantly. William Miller fell headforemost against a rock and a car rolled upon him, in which position he remained nearly half an hour. He died soon after being removed. The remainder of the men were more or less wounded, some, It Is feared, fatally. None on the hand car were hurt. The Houston (Texas) Union says that the Indian Raid on Warren's wagon train, near Fort Richardson, pome time since, In which seven men were killed and forty males captured, was designed for the cap ture of General Sherman, of whose coming the In dians had knowledge. When the attack was made, one ot the chiefs was heard to give an order to take Captain Sherman alive. FROM JiEWTORK. Cotl Sales. New York, June 23.

A Gigantic fftrncgle Imminent The Con. test for the l'outialOB of Jersey. From the Jrenon Gazet r, June 87. There are strong Indications that two Interest ing and gigantlo railroad wars are likely to grew ont of the projocted lease of the United Companies to the Pennsylvania Railroad. Toe first is a sort of civil or Internecine strife, be tween the two opposing factions Into whlcu the stcckholders and managers of the Joint compa nies have divided on the subject of the lease. The difference between the advocates and opponents of the lease in the companies has become Irreconcil able, and can now only be determined by the arbi trament of the sword of the law. Those In favor of the lease are fully resolved that It shall be effected, while those who oppose areas determined to pre vent Its consummation. Trie proceedings begun by the latter in the Court of Chancery are but a mild prellmlnarj to tho terrillo and deadly contest which will subsequent be fought In the Legis lature. Here will Inevitably be the battle ground of these corporate Titans, and all the enormous re sources of strategy and patronage, and the other potent Influences which nave In times past been employed to dlscomltt the plans of the enemies of the monopoly, will now be wielded by these bellige rent factions against each other. The conflict will be characterized by all the acrimony and releotlessness which civil contests of all sorta ever invoke. Gigan tic diverse Interests, as well as strong profes sional pride, will contend for the mastery. If tne legal proceedings Inaugurated In the Court ot Chan cery shall prove the authority on which the pro posed lease Is based to be defective, resort will, of course, be had to the next Legislature to perfect that authority. The efforts of the assenters to the lease to obtain and of the dissenters to prevent this legislation will constitute one of the most remark able and excltiDg railroad wars that has ever been fought on the old legislative battle-ground. But suppose the anti-leasers triumph, both In the courts and In the Legislature, Then the two bel ligerents will have to combine their shattered forces and confront a new, fresh, and most powerfol an tagonlst. The Pennsjlvanla Railroad Company Is resolved te have a road across New Jersey, under Its own control, with abundant facilities for the ac commodation of Its through Western traffic. It would have secured a charter for such a road under the guise or the air line project last wId cr, If this projected lease had not been heir out as an Inducement for a suspension of hostilities, and on the under standing that the v 4e cannot be consummated, the Pennsylvania Company will of course reuew its at tempts to secure a charter for a new road. Could they be prevented from accomplishing their purpose ? Are the United Companies strong enough to success fully contend with that powerful corpora tion? Hitherto both of these corporate giants have proved successful in all their legislative contests. But the Pennsylvania Company is financially much stronger than the Mew Jersev corporation, and has fought and won greater battles in contests of a wider and more gigan tic character. The event of a war between these hitherto puissant and veteran contestants we do not pretend to predict; we only know that it is certain to take place if the lease Is not fil'ected. But it will only be alter the other and Btlll more In teresting battle between the belligerent tactions of the disunited companies has been fought and deter mined, and then only In the event of the defeat of the advocates of the lease. In this preliminary battle, the moral, If not the material, aid of the Pennsylvania Company will undoubtedly b.-i on the Bide of the leasers. But the other side will have very strong moral support in this State, and can marshal to their aid an array of veteran lighting latent which id uoi to ue uespiouu. A WHOLE TOWN DESTROYED. Over One Hundred Houses Demolished Many Lives Lost The Most TerrlAc Storm Ever Known In Kansas. From the Walnut Valley (Kansas) Times of June 17. Last evening Eldorado and surrounding couutrv was visited with one of the most terrible storms ever known In this part of the State. About 8 o'clock In the evening a storm came up from the nortnwest, accompanied witu winn, nan, and rain, and before the people bad time to make any prepa ration for ft, the hurricane swept through tha town. The clouds were oi inky blackness; the vivid flashes of lightning, accompanied by crashing thun der, caused our citizens to ieel that the storm was of no ordinary magnitude. Every moment the gale In creased, and, as the rain came down In torrents, the situation became more fearful. Every momentary lull In the storm only seemed to increase Its fury, and. in fifteen minutes from the commencement. men, women, and children could be seen flying inrougn me streets, Beeping protection irom tne falling honBes. ; By tnis time tne air was nil a witn nying timbers. Large houses were completely demolished; others were nnroofed, while others were lifted from their foundations and carried by the wind from forty to two hundred feet. And yet there seemed to be no lull In the storm, as we stood by the window, gazing outward, we could plainly see houses top pling over. The roar of the storm was terrible, and the earth seemed to be tremble beneath our feet. We have been unable to get any particular news from the surrounding coubtry, but for four or five miles around the same wholesale destruction seems to be visible. Houses were blown down, fences de stroyed, and the crops ruined. Many of our people are left In destitute circumstances. Our town this morning presents a most woe-be-arone aonearunce. People who were In comfortable circumstances yesterday are to-uay left without anything. LATBK. Persons from Hickory Creek, In the track of the storm, say that captain J. A. MuGlnnls' large dwelling was completely demolished. Eight houses were blown down above Captain Armstrong's. The crobs were nearlv all destreyed. over iso famines nave temporary nomes witn tneir neighbors. Most of these people are destitute, and stand In need of Immediate relief. A dead man has been taken out or the Walnut river. (Several persons will die from Injuries re ceived. Hign water prevents us from receiving lulier reports. CRUSHED TO DEATH. Two Men Killed by the Giving Way of a Heavy J luiuer -I'resue. Yesterday mornlntr, about 11 o'clock, an acci dent occurred at Cork Run tunnel, four miles below the city, on the Pan-iiandle Kali way, which resulted in the death of a bricklayer and a laborer. The company have been engaged for some time past In widening the tunnel for the nuruose of laying a double track. To keep the sides oi tne excavation irom tailing in, large timber cribs were erected on the sides. The m . . e i. 1 bricklayers and laborers were working yesterday morning on the side wall on a trestle which 6tands about six feet from the ground. About the hour mentioned there were live men on the nlatform and several on the ground below. Without any warning noise whatever, some of the large timbers used in keeping the sides of the excavation from falling, gave way ana came down with a fearful crash. Une ot them. very heavy stick, struck Henry lloltz, a brick layer, and 1 mured mm so severely that ne ex pired In a lew minutes. Anotner piece ion on a laborer named Evan Lewis, who was working on the ground, and broke both of his legs, lie was immediately carried borne, and altuougn everything possible was done for blm, be died about 5 o clock, l be coroner was notiuea oi the occurrence, and beld an inquest over the remains of the men, when a verdict ot acci dental death was rendered PiUsburg Com menial, yexieraay MILLINERY. jy R S.
