BURNS WAS nEsTED
BY Owen ZeisIer in tho broadway A. c,
Last Night.


Last Night.
NEW YORK, September S.-Owen
Zeigler, formerly of Philadelphia, but
now of Bath Beach, n. Y, turned what
seemed to be an inevitable defeat into
a victory tonight before the Broadway
Athletic Club, where he met and whip
ped his old-time opponent, Charlie
Burns, of Cincinnati. The men had
previously fought twenty rounds to a
draw. They met tonight at catch
weights. Burns had at least ten pounds
advantage in weight and was very
strong and aggressive. In the opening
rounds Burns was the aggressor, and
in the fourth round Zeigler went down
twice. In the following round Zeigler
looked worried and beth men seemed
tired. Science was cast to the winds
completely, and they simply slugged
each other. In the seventh both fell
in clinch. Burns, after hitting Zeig-
Ter rather low on the body, extended
his right hand as if to apologize, but
Zeigler merely hit his opponent on the
jaw. This enraged Burns, and in wild
rush he threw Zeigler heavily on the
ropes. Burns then sent his left to the
jaw and Zeigler fell through the ropes
into the arms of the seconds, who help
ed him back into the ring at the clang
of the bell. In the eighth Zeigler re-
ceived lot of punishment in the face,
Burns forcing him all over the ring
Burns kept forcing in the tenth and
had Zeigler on the ropes toward the
end of the round in a very weak con-
dition. To the surprise of everybody,
Burns particularly, eigler in the next
round sent a succession of right
smashes to the western mans head and
face. Burns showed signs Of WEAKNESS
and became decidedly groggy. A wing
from Zeigler put Burns down on his
back and he remained there for nine
seconds and the bell saved him from a
knockout.
Coming up for the twelfth, Burns
was almost as good as whipped, and
eigler rushed to him, shooting rights
and lefts. forcing terrific pace. A left
to the chin from Zeigler was followed
by right under the heart, and Burns
tumbled to the floor. He was so nearly
knocked out that the bout was stopped
and Zeigler got the decision.

GOLD As I.EGaL TEsDER.



SIMLA, September Sat yesterdays
session of the India council, the vice.
roy. Baron Curzon. Of Kedleston, con-
curing in the statement Of Clinton
Dawkins. the. financial member, who, in
introducing the currency bill, said that
in the absence CT the mint proclana-
ton from England, it had been decided
to make gold the legal tender immedi-
ately in the conviction that no other
measure would save India from disas-
trous embarrassment and fresh taxa
ton, remarked that thanks to the
sagacity and common sense of the COM
mittee, the ability CT the chairman, the
strength of the case fer gold standard,
and the remarkable consensus of opin-
ion, conclusion Of the fiercely dis
puted matter had been reached.
For twenty years the policy of the
government had been the defense Of
India from the inevitable consequences
of the decline in the value Of the rupee,
namely, fresh taxation. The adoption
Of a gold standard would enable India
to embark in discussion with foreign
powers and enter the field on equal
terms. Since gold began to enter last
year 100000 had arrived. A fixed
value must lend stability and conf
dence to foreign trade. He did not in
dulge in chimerical dreams Of the fu-
ture or pretend to open an Asiatic
Klondike He firmly believed and
hoped the present action would invest
the financial horoscope of India with
the security which it had hitherto
lacked, and which it was the duty Of
the government to utilize in the inter
ests of the Indian people.

STANDING OF CLUBS.

Yesterday was one of Cy Swaim's
happy days. The spider shanked twirler
had about everything UP his sleeve that
counts in the box, and the team be-
hind him struck batting streak that
kept the Wheeling fielders chasing
leather for further orders. jake
Wells was all in after the third in
ming. and then he gave an aeronautic
exhibition that double discounted any
thing ever seen On the fair grounds.
While he was up, Glasscock and his
players fattened their batting averages,
and. even such weak willow wielder
as Swain drove out three safe ones
Jake became groggy toward the close
of the seventh, and while the crowd
was disposed to insist upon his eaking
his medicine, consideration for field
ers prompted Capt Lytde to substitute
Whissen.
The game started off in a way that
caused the rooters to see visions of
the same time as the Fort Wayne hit
tiers. A hit by Dobbs, base on balls
and two wretched fumbles by Flood,
gave Wheeling two runs in the first.
They did not see the home plate again
until the eighth, when Cy lost control
of the ball momentarily, and sent the
first two batsmen to the initial bag on
wide ones, one of them, Donahue, tally
ing on single by Lyle. Swain was a
puzzle at all stages, and especially when
runners were on the bags.
Fort Wayne opened up the run max
ing with double and two singles in
the fourth, and the official scorer
chalked up three. A couple more safe
ones added another in the fifth. An
error, base on balls, three singles
and double augmented the size of the
victory by three. The slaughter came
in the seventh, when Wells and his sue
eessor on the slab, were touched up
safely nine times, for total of thir-
teen bases and nine runs.
This afternoon the last game of the
. series will be played, and it win be
the last opportunity to see Glasscock's
team this season. Both clubs will
make a strong effort to pull out the
victory, and good contest is antici-
pated The score:
