Highly Important Fighting In Core.
Washington, June 28. 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

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.

RAILROAD AVARS.
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.

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
