WASHINGTON CITY, Aug, l%.-lt appears
that another case something like the Kelly
affair, but not on a similar scale, has turned
up. James Whalen, recently appointed
United states consul at Fort Erie. is not c.
ceptable to the Canadians. They charge
that he was an active Fenian and largely in
strumental in the Irish agitation of 1866,
which created such excitement in Canada
1t is understood that Mr. Whalen will not
be received by the Canadians
The Ottawa government sent secret
agent to look up Whalen's record. He came
to Washington, and has telegraphed the

charges against Whalen as a Fenian agi-
tator have all boen substantiated He ad-
vised that Whalen be not accepted as the

AN ALLEGED LOGAN-MORRlSON PO-
LlTICAl ALLIANCE.
An appointment Canada Can Not Abide
Chilli Concludes to Let Us Off-A
Show for the "Barons
Kelley the Rejected.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. Is. Quite stir
has been caused among politicians here by
seemingly reliable rumors that Senator
Logan and Congressman Morrison have
formed some sort of an alliance, Per-
sonally, the gentlemen have always been
and aim to be warm friends;
and now it appears that, po-
litically-at least so far as
the forces are concerned-they are not very
wide apart. 1t is said that Col. Morrison
has guaranteed that several of Logan's
friends shall not be branded as offensive
partisans and bounced; and that in return
for the favor Logan will see to it that all of
Morrison's appointments are confirmed.
A story Is related which sup
ports the rumor of this polit-
ical alliance. The other day Morrison
secured the appointment of a man very OBJ
jectionable to Logan. The latter went TO
Morrison and told him that he would have
to oppose that appointment in the senate.
Morrison promptly asked the new official to
resign, as he he'd no chance of being con-
frmed. He complied with the request This
argues pretty close relations between Logan
and Morrison. And it will have a tendency
to give peace of mind to gentlemen for
whom the horizontal statesman has secured
snug berths.
