An InsinuntiOn That They Are Based
on Political Differences.

Washington. April 2s.-Much mystery is
made over the coincidence of the two i'm
portant designations in the agricultural
department accepted to take effect May 1
by Secretary Morton before he left last
Friday for months tour in the far west,
but carefully suppressed
The two deported officials are NJ E.
Fagon of Illinois. chief of the now emas-
culated seed division, and L. l.. Lyles of
the bureau of animal industry both of
whom have been drawing $1,000 salaries
since the early part of the present ad-
ministration. Acting Secretary Dabney
and all the other officials of the depart
ment profess utter ignorance of the causes
of the resignation, but no doubt exists that
they are inseparable from the seed con-
troversy, Lyles being a protege in the
department of Senator Vest whose bitter
inyectives against Secretary Morton have
been features of the Senate proceedings
for the past few months.
