H I SETON IS, SORE v ... *. :: Naturalist! John Burroughs, Once * -His Friend, Holds Him Up "- - as a "Sham." He Eefuses to Eeply in Kind and Still Insists Animals Reason and Talk. tpaelal to The Journal, Milwaukee, March 11.Ernest Thomp son Seton. whom John Borroughs. the fa mous naturalist, recently denounced as a sham In the Atlantic monthly, said to day that the attack was unjust. "I have not seen the article." he said, "and do not want to. and, further than to deny, the accusations Burroughs makes, I do not wish to discuss the question. The at tack is very unpleasant to me and unfair, and I cannot understand it. Mr. Bur roughs and I used to be friends and this sudden change is beyond me. 1 know nothing about the particulars of the at tack and I do not care to investigate them.." When told that Mi*. Burroughs .said that It was untrue and absurd that a fox sought safety from a pack of hounds by jumping upon the back of a sheep and riding sev eral hundred yards, Mr. Seton said he had nothing to say. Mr. Burroughs also said in his article that it was all bosh to think that a. fox or a. skunk reasons profoundly, or that these animals use miraculously analytical strate gy, or that a bear philosophizes soulfully. He also says that animals Seton has known have been known by none else. and that Seton so deftly blends fact and Action that only a real woodsman can separate them, and that he has been palm ing off a lot of l-idiculous statements. Mr. Seton insists, however, that wild animals reason and talk. if SUGAR PLANT CLOSED Rumor That It Is Sold to the Trust Denied.

WEDITESBAT- EVJ1NIJN& MORGAN AND THE GLUB Condition of the Two Treaties Now * "Under Consideration" in That August Body. From The Journal Bureau, Boom 45, Post Build ing, Washington. "Washington, March 11.Senator Mor gan, .while he has gained some support from the new democratic senators, lacks thye. one-third necessary to defeat the 'treaty. Most of the democrats under the lead of Gorman will support Morgan's amendments, but when these are rejected, as they will be by the solid republican ma jority, the democrats will fall in line, with the exception of a small personal follow ing of Morgan's, and ratify the treaty. Mr. Morgan's offer to consent to. a vote on Saturday, provided the seal of se crecy be removed from his speech, has been met by the counter proposition that Mr. Cullom be authorized to prepare and make public a statement to go with it, representing the republican position. It is moreover proposed that certain parts of Morgan's speech reflecting on the in tegrity and good faith of Colombia, bo omitted from the version of it to be given publicity. This is not what Morgan wants. His speech arraigns Colombia so severely that one of his democratic asso ciates said this morning, in speaking of the negotiations: "Poor and weak as Colombia is. she would come up here and fight us if we should officially make public what Mor gan has said about her." It is assumed that this is Morgan's rea son for proposing these terms of surren der the treaty is yet to be ratified by Colombia, and he doubtless thinks he can say things so repugnant to her as to make ratification at that end impossible. Many of the republican senators wish that the terms of the treaty reposed authority more completely in American hands, but they take the state department view that this is the best that can be had. Morgan te fighting in Ills last ditch. ' Representative Hepburn of Iowa, who has long been the Nicaraugan leader in the house, regards the .battle between the routes as over, and 'expects to see the great American ditch constructed at Pan ama. The Cuban Treaty. Little thought has yet been given to the Cuban treaty, which will come up as soon as Panama is out of the way. The weak point in the Cuban treaty is that nobody in the senate is extremely eager for it, while the latent opposition is consider able. It is too early to predict that this combination means failure, for the admin istration is very earnest and the repub lican majority very large. These senators who incline to press hardest for it. in deference to the wishes of the administra tion, are embarrassed by other reciprocity treaties which they would not like to have the beet sugar senators take up in good natured retaliation. London and Liverpool exporters object to the inside track which this treaty would give manufacturers in the trade of the island. American manufacturers hai'e not yet (accustomed themselves to fight ing for an export market, or bringing pressure to bear on congress for the pres ervation of one. If they had, the move ment here in behalf of this treaty would be as vigorous as that in England is against it. - shut MOKGAN WASTING TIME He Has the Spooner Act Attached to the Treaty. Washington, March 11.Senator Mor gan yesterday secured the first material concession in connection "with the Panama treaty. This consisted of an agreement to the Spooner canal act bodily to treaty. Mr." Daniel expressed * the opinion" that as the preamble calls for the attachment of a copy of the act. that attachment was necessary to preserve the terms of the document intact. Senator Morgan con tended that without this attachment the treaty was absolutely invalid. Senators Teller and Hoar took the opposite view, urging that as the act was in existence and of record in the statutes of the United States, the attachment was of no conse quence -whatever. Senator Lodge, how ever, suggested that no injury could re sult from the attachment of the act, and unanimous consent was given. It was ex pressly stipulated, however, that this con cession did not mean any amendment of the treaty. Senator Morgan consumed the remain der of the closed session discussing the canal question, going over much ground he already had covered. Most of his speech was written, and when Senator Cullom asked,if the speech he was read ing was new or old, he replied with mani fest vexation that it was new, adding that he did not have to repeat his addresses. There was more or less discussion of the proposal to permit Senator Morgan to publish his remarks in the Congres sional Record, but there was no effort to reach a conclusion.

Simply by pumpingr a vital stream of electricity into his body in the right way while he is sleeping. It does wonders in a few applications. It arouses all the dormant energies, develops muscular and nerve life, and restores that feeling of youth, courage and manhood. It makes men over it makes men of the puniest, weakest specimens of "half men." C. Johnson, Minneapolis, Minn., writes: Dear SirI consider your Belt is the greatest remedy for nerve exhaustion that there is in the world. The failure of medicine, or quacks, and even of other so-called electric belts, is no argument against Dr. McLaughlin's Elec tric Belt. No other treatment, no other belt, is in the same class, with it. Every thing else may fail, but Dr. McLaughlin's Belt will' cure. It H AS cured thousands who tried other remedies without success.
