On the transport which arrived first at the Corean coast were a few hundred soldier from the army of the North. Mont of the force, however, consisted of coolie with inferior firearm, or merely how and arrow. The attack upon tlie steamer by the Japanese last Wcdne day ie described brietly in a dispatch re ceived Hill evening from Nagasaki. Tho tiring wan begun by a Japanese battery on elioro while the Chinese officers were trying to disembark their men from the llmtvteamer. Thecruiaer then gleamed up, and opened Are on all the transport which wore lying to, waiting to die charge the men. The Chinese were un able to make any effective resistance. They were thrown into great coufusion, and many jumped overboard to escape the hot lire, under which the two trans port suffered severely. The Chinese officials here do not con firm these dispatches. They are exceed ingly reticent as to every report concern ing hostilities in Corea. The declaration of war has caused keen excitement among all clsasc here, and business is virtually suspended, although many mailer firms have made desultory ef Jorto to iiMaln their trade.

Tho executors of the estate of the late President Sadl Carnot made an official report to-day of their final Inventory, and the official state ment is the subjectof unlvurnal comment on the boulevard and In political circles. It had generally been supposed that the murdered President was well endowed with thi world's goods, but the opposite prove to bo the case. Although hi salary a President of tho Republic was regarded not only at ample for all emer gencies, but also snjlluient to leave a lulr hnlance for savings or investment, it transpires Unit the late President bad not only lived up to every dollar of his olllclal income, but also drew upon the returns from some small holdings of real estate, in order to maintain what he re garded as the dignity of his position. The balance of his account In bank on the day of his death was less than 40,000 francs, not more than suHlcient, based on the current expenditures of the Klysee for the pant year, to provide for the re quirements of the executive mansion for a couple of weeks. In the face of these disclosures the self-sacrifice of Mine. Carnot in absolutely refusing a pension of tft.tXH) a year, suggested by the Cab inet Council, is being universally com mented npon. The widow of the murdered President to-day took possession of the apartments engaged for her in the Rue Bt. Honore, which she will occupy until the flat leased at No. 14 Avenue d'Alma by the late President, in anticipation of his re tirement at the end of his term, has been decorated and furnished. It i estimated that the real estate of the late President will vield a revenue of 11.000 yearly. Outside of this, the widow has nothing to deiend on, until the death of her mother, Mme. Ihipont-White, and who has an income of 110,000 per annum. This at her death, according to the French law, will be equally divided be. tween Mme. Carnot and her sister, Mme. David.

Nkw York, July 28. President Cleve land' letter, Senator Gorman' bitter attack upon the Chief Executive and Hill's reply have so entirely changed the aspect of the tariff bill's chance of pas gage that thore I a diversity of opinion among .the Washington correspondents of the more Influential New York dailies as to the ultimate fate of that measure, Tlie majority, however, take a gloomy view of the situation. The following are some of the expression of opinion : The World : The quarrel between the President and his party friend in the Senate ha aroused the bitterest feeling among the facti jii of the Democrats In and out of Congress, and I generally re garded a the greatest misfortune that could have happened to the Democratic party at this time. W hat it effect will be upon the tariff bill cannot be deter mined yet. It seems almost certain, however, that, if any tariff' bill i to be passed at thi session, the Kouse must yield to the Senate. This must necessa rily be o in the Senate, for three or four Democratic Senator can defeat any measure which they do not care to sup port, and in view of Gorman's announce ment that, if tlie Senate amendments are materially changed, the bill will be defeated, there seem to be no way in which the differences between the two House can lie reconciled, tbe failure, moreover, of the President's attempt to conciliate Gorman and induce him to bring about a peace nil settlement oi me controversy on some otber basis man tltat ol tbe adoption or me oenaw out ecrve to indicate that tlie prospect for harmony between the two House is not bright. The Times: If the sugar trust would take it bands off of this Congress and wIhiiiih the Senators who are now disa bled by it from discharging their duties as tlie'conetitution calls upon them to do and as the people demand they shall, the tariff bill would lie agreed upon by the conference committee in a few day, and it would be a bill free from any ugges-1 tion that its leading schedule were lhaped by corrupt influences. It is use less to caucus, lor, wnaiever me i-uuuo may do, the potent few, who are under stood to be hopelessly tied up and in danger of being utterly disgraced if they do not persist in remaining bought, can not accept any cpnciusiuua reacueu u this majority. The Recorder: There Is scarcely a member of the House who I not con vinced that the Senate means what it ay: that it will accept no bill but the compromise measure that was passed there. In the House side there is dis couragement and a foreboding of defeat. Tlie members eay it will probably be a Bhort light now, tnai me nouns wm vicld, but the President Ib not ready to give up the struggle yet. It looks to-day as tnougn me iiouse ib mtuueti wwim vield, and that the contest may come to an end sooner than ha been expected. There is uncertainty about the Senate's position, and Gorman's snre.uneB8 in the House the responsi bility for no tariff legislation, if such is the outcome of the struggle, is bearing frnlt. The mnnti'fi of the members of the House has sadly weakened since last IMI'KKIAL FKDKKATION LKAGC. What a Toronto Delegate .aid of the Feeling In This Country. London, July 27.

Washington, July 27. The question whether or not an underground trolley is a commercially practicable and suc cessful method of propulsion for street car service will be determined on an ex tensive scale in the national capital. A bill to authorize one of the street-car systems in this city to extend its lines and change its motive power passed coin branches of Congress, and to-day the conference report on the bill was agreed to in the House. It requires the com pany to equip and operate its lines with an underground electric system within a period of two year under heavy penal tie for failure. It was stated in the de bate that this was one of the most im portant measures ever passed by Con gress. If a demonstration is made that the underground system can be success fully worked, it will compel change of power on thoasands of miles of electric roadi'in the United States.
