From the Kansas City Times
TITS lie, you didn't have the card"

Daniel Cartwright, proprietor of the Grandy Block
hotel, at Third and Grand avenues, as he and
James Donahoe, horse trader. sprang to their feet
in O saloon at Fourth and Walnut street and angry
regarded each other. Two horse traders who we're
participating In the game at once threw down their
cards and looked on, interested spectators. Donahoe
struck the little card table which stands in the
tire of the saloon at Fourth and Walnut streets q re-
sounding blow. I'm your man" was all he said,
as he aimed powerful blow at Cartwright's neck.
"see here, gentlemen drawled one of the
horse traders. 'If you are bent on fighting fight
aduel Not with weapons, but have regular old
fashioned negro head-butting contest"
Tie two DISTINGUISHED horse traders separated the
angry men and made all the preparations, but the
saloon keeper interposed. He would have moth
ing of the kind in his house, he sad and the belig-
erents were compelled to 80 out upon the street.
Police Officer Kane saw them come together in the
first encounter as the two heads sounded with the
whack of brick striking bill board. They were
separated after q few blows were passed. and then
the tecond encounter took place. Just as the
heads struck again, the policeman laid his hands

Taking His Leave of Camp Perry.
CAMP PERRY, Fla, September 22.-On the
occasion Of the departure Of Surgeon-General
Hamilton from this camp the refugees met
and passed resolutions heartily thanking Dr.
Hamilton for his uniform kindness, courtesy
and attention, and indorsing Camp Perry, de-
claring it unexcelled by any military camp in
the country.
The surgeon-general was visibly moved at
these expressions OF appreciation OF his services
and made brief address in reply. lie said in
part Il am deeply touched by your sympathy
and kindness. / am all the more sensible of
this because Of the unjust criticisms directed
against me in my official capacity
and attacks upon my private char
acter. These commenced when I
announced the presence Of yellow fever in
Florida, last spring. AS matter Of fact the
presence Of fever in this state was reported by
me to the governor nearly or quite two weeks
before | made any public announcement Of it.
That the statement was true, the fact of the
establishment of this camp and that we are
here today in this pine wood too well attests.
But that is all past now and let it be forgotten
and forgiven. When | came here and hoisted
our dear old flag over this camp, l, as the gov
ernment's representative, felt that I
wanted every man, woman and child coming
here to know that they were no
longer poor, panic stricken, fever haunted
refugees, but welcome guests of our common
country. The warm, rudy stripes of the ban
ner which floats above us are emblematical of
our country's love for its children, and each
star in that azure field is representative of
states, every one of which must be protect d
when in distress, and suffered for, if need be.
These sentiments, | know, aetuate the officers
Of the service whom l leave in charge here. /
thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your
courtesy, and in saying farewell l assure you
that you have made it a difficult word to
speak"
After general handshaking, which in
Guided all the children at the camp the leave
taking was over, and the train moved away.

AGRICULTURE INTO THE CABINET.
The Commissioner is Made a Cabine or
ficer.

The house bill to make the department of
agriculture one of the executive departments
of the government was then taken up, and the
question being on the amendment reported by
the committee on agriculture to strike out the
fifth section, which transfers the weather bu-
reau of the signal service to the department of
agriculture.
After discussion by Messrs. Chandler. Blair.
Reagan, Plumb, Call, Wilson, Palmer, Sauls-
bury and Hale a vote was taken on tho amend
ment to strike out the fifth section of the bill
and it was agreed to--yeas 80, nays 8. So the
proposition to transfer the weather bureau to
the department OF agriculture was defeated.
1t provides that the department of agricul-
ture shall be an executive department, under
the supervision aud control of a secretary of
agriculture, who shall be appointed by the
president by and with the advice and
consent of the senate. There shall
be in the department an assistant sec
rotary of agriculture, to be appointed
by the president by and with the advice and
consent of the senate, who shall perform such
duties as may be required by law or prescribed
by the secretary. The secretary of agriculture
shall receive the same salary as is paid to tho
secretary of each of the executive departments
and the salary of the assistant secretary OF ag-
riculture shall be the same as that now paid to
the first assistant secretary of the department
of the interior.
The house amendments to the senate bill
concerning detail of officers Of army and navy
to educational institutions were concurred in,
and the bill now goes to the president.
The house bill TO enlarge the powers and
duties OF the department of agriculture and to
create an executive department to be known
as the department of agriculture, was taken
up the question being on the amendment
striking out section 3, which transfers the
weather bureau Of the signal service to the
department of agriculture.
In the course of debate participated In by
Senators Butler, Palmer, Call, Dawes and
Plumb, the latter described the competitions
which American agriculturists met and
would continue TO meet in the markets OF the
world. from South America Australia, India
and Africa, and declared his belief that unless
existing conditions were changed, and
markedly, India wheat would sell in the Now
York market within five years duty paid, in
competition with American wheat. 1t was
therefore desirable that the president should
have in his cabinet a man who represented the
great agricultural interest OF the country, and
il was necessary TO diversity agriculture and to
look more and moro TO the homo market,
rather than TO the foreign market. In this
connection he favored the encouragement Of
the production OF sugar from sorghum and bocts.
