Like THE Kernex Case—It appears that another case something like the Keiley affair, but on asmatier scale, bas turned up. James Whalen, recently appointed United States con- sul at Fort Erie, is not acceptable to the Cana- dians, They charge that he was an active fe- lan and latgely fustrumental in the Irish agi- tation of 1866 whieh created such excitement in Canada. It is understood that Mr. Whalen will not be received by the Canadians. The Ot- {awa government sent a secret agent to look oR Whalen’s record, He came to Washington, an has telegraphed the home government at'Lon- don that the charges aginst Whalen asa fenian ngitator have all been substantiated. He advised that Whalen be not accepted as the consular representative of the United States at Fort Erle. THE PresrpeNt’s TRIP TO ALBANY.—At the gonclusion of the ceremonies at the tomb of Gen.

Enterprise arrived at Sokrakata, Java, to- day on her way home trom Asiatic waters, via Australia and Cape Horn. The phraseology of the cablegram ‘siving this information to the Navy department indicates that the recent order of Secretary Whitney directing naval officers to make their telegrams as briet as pos- sible, has already checked in evilof long stand ing. The message reads: “Socratia (Sokrak ata Aug. 10. Enterprise.

The recent general army order, directing officers below the grade of field officers back to their regiments after a period of four years on detached duty, will be hailed with delight by all the younger officers who have been serving with thelr compantes in the field. The prac- tice of permitting favoritism to rule in filling such positions had, it is held, a most disastrous effect upon the army, Itdeadened the ambi- tion of officers in the field and left companies without their proper command- ing officers for many years at @ time in charge of uninterested officers, It 1g said that there are captains to-day on staif'duty who have never served aday with thelr companies. Heretofore it has looked as if the line was made for the staff, when the re- verse should be the case. The line Is the bone and sinew of the army, all of the different staf departments, the pay 'and engineer corps, the ordnance, quartermaster, and commissary de- partment being established to maintain the line in good condition. ‘The captain of a company is held to be the most important officer in the army, so far as dealing with the men is con- cerned. He is the tather of the family, as It and without him the company feel as if been deserted by the very man whose Presence is most needed. Consequently to allow in to remain yearafter year on detached ‘as the effect of disorganizing the troops ling the ambition of the younger offi- cers. ‘The army, which has been practicaliy dead for years, wiil, it 1s sald, be rejuvenated under the new regiine. Officers on the staffs of all the general officers will be affected by the new order. The effect here, however, will not be nearly so great ax has been supposed. Only two. officers on duty here will be sent away w der it. These are Capt. 1G. Gregory, of the en- gineer corps, who is one of Gen.Sherldan'saides, and Capt. Geo. W. Davis, of the 14th infantry, who is alsoonSheridun’sstaff, His service there however, has been of short duration, us he was but recently appointed an aide to sticceed Col. Volkmar, who was appointed assistant adju- tant general. He was, however, on detached duty fora number of years as nssistant to Col. Casey in constructing’ the Washington monu- ment. Col. M. V. Sheridan, who has been on his brother's staif since 1866, will not come within the provisions of the order, as be was a few years ago appointed assistant udjutant feneral, ‘and Is, therefore, not, atlected. he clause in the order ‘excepting such efficers as are ordered on sp duty the War departine 5 Inserted to enable been specially detailed on de- duty by the department to complete rk.” Col. Scott, who has been for @ num- ber of years compiling’ tie records ot the vel lion in the War department, will not. therefore be disturbed. ‘The order fs not regarded of 80 much importance on account ot its Immediate effects as in the light of a correction of an abuse, tho effect of whieh will be more apparent in the future. = es War Department Chang: A.

Very few leaves were asked for up to the first of the present nth, but since that date they have begun to. me th rapidly, ahd they are granted with no. hesitation, Thé apprehension that existed in regard to sweeping changes is uot so manifest as it was, and in consequence the clerks are fol- Jowing the usual custom in regard to annual caves, Vice President Hendricks. HE SAYS IT 18 THE TIME Fou AMERICANS TO RESOICE, From the New York Herald, to-day. Vice President Hendricks was in a jolly good bumor at the Fifth Avenue hotel last night. He said that there was reason for everybody to rejol ‘It is the time for Americans to re- joice,” he said. “We have witnessed the most remarkable event in Americun history. The southern people express but one sentiment— ‘Peace, good will, und reconciliation.’ I was making a pleasant trip in the Lake Superior region when the sad news of General Grant's death reached me.

The old Carroll mansion on Capitol Hill has Just been sold to ex-Representatiev E. John Ellis, of Louisiana, for $60,000. The place comprises some six acres, and is situated at the {ntersection of 2d street and South Carolina avenue southeast. The brick mansion, which was erected by Daniel Carroll, still stands in the center of the grounds surrounded by fine old trees. Dantel Carroll was one of the origi- nal proprietors of the land upon which this city is built, and bis tract of land which was known ss Duddington Manor, extended on both sides of South Capitol and North Capitol streets, from {street south to L street north, and included 1e ground now occu; 6 alld ing. The Carroll Tract "was inclu be- tween 3d street east and 8d street west, as far as Indiana avenue, and from that point north it lay between North Coptic street and 3rd street east. The house which has just been sold was the manor house of this lat pos- session, and was rented by Daniel Carroll short! After this site had been fixed upon for the capl- talcity. Mr. Carrol) had begun the erection of @ house on a site which stood right in the certer of what L'Enfant had marked out in the plan of thecity, as New Jersey avenue. The irascible Frenchman, as soon as he discovered this di- rected the house to be to be torn down, which ‘Mr. Carroll refused todo, Thereupon L’Enfant sent a gang of men one night to the new building, and it razed to the ground.’ L’Enfant, however, was _ soon Felleved from duty, and the commissioners who were intrusted with the work of laying out the new city and erecting the public buildings made Proper compensation to Mr. Carroll for the dam- age sustained. Soon afterwards he began the erection of the present building. It ig built in the Greclun style, und wy two stories “high with anatticstory. There is a pillared portico in front. The central hall, occupying the entire depth of the building, is twenty-two feet wide. ‘The rooms, which are very large, ure arranged on each side of this hall, and with the old-fash- foned furniture, and the secluded position of the house, the place is strongly suggestive of old times. "The house has been continuously oc- eupled by the family since its erection, but. at present the only occupants are two muiden ughters of the orginal owner. In the early Years, of the capital ‘city this house, with the ‘an Ness mansion, were the most notable pri- vate residences here, and the wealth of the occupants enabled them to dispease a lavish hospitality. The brick wall which surrouns the place Was erected in 1815. ‘The grading of the streets, which was done In 1872 under the Soard of public works, left the oid place at a considerable elevation und caused the wall to full in places. In 1842 the fine brick stables were destroyed by fire. “Daniel Carroll died in 1849, at the aye of 85. His latter years were’ made unhappy by _biy poverty.

The first of the column to appear within the inclosure was the carriage of Gen. Hancock. This was at 1:15 p.m. The general had been compelled by illness to dismount from his horse at 95th street, and was driven to the tomb in a carriage, his horse being led by the side of the carriage. Gen. Hancock was driven to the entrance of the tomb and got out of the carriage; his staff Kept on over the hill, The main line of the military column passed east of the knoll where the tomb stands and formed ranks ax far as posaible in the ve on the north. The funeral car did not arrive at the tomb until half-past four o'clock, The United States t who acted as escorts for the body from Mt. McGregor to New York formed a line with the coffin atone end.

From I. Corin- thians, xv. 41, Bishop Harris read: “There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in gior The orig poeon: ot the service was re: by the Rev. Dr. Newman. Bishop Henry, C, Potter Stood beside Bishop Harris, and at his left was Robert Collyer. Gen. Sherman, Gen.

Grant and his wile, Mrs, Sartoris and the other members of the Grant family stood atthe head of the coffin, while near the foot stood President Cleveland, Vice President Hendricks, Secretary Bayard, Gen. Hancock, Gen. Buckner and duier officers. When Dr. Newman closed his prayer the pall- bearers lifted the coffin and carried it into the vault, A bugler stepped from the ranks and sounded taps. At the last note of thecall a volley of inusketry from the 7th regiment broke the silence and the echoes went reverber- ating down the Hudson. Three volleys were fired by the 7th, three more by the 22d and three by the battery of artillery. Then Gen.
