BURNS IN D1sFAvoR
English Press Gives Him Duo Credit
For Defeating Gunner Moir, But
Is Not Pleased Over His Victory =
II Canadian, Not American.

New York, Dec. 3.--Altho giving him
all the credit for defeating Gunner
Moir In the heavyweight battle in
London last night, the English press
is not well pleased with the victory
won by Tommy Burns, according to
extracts from English papers cabled
here early today. The English believed
Burns to be an American, while as a
matter Of fact he is a Canadian, and 1t
is evident that much of his unpopular
ity is due to that fact Burns attempt
ed to make speech when he entered
the ring at the National Sporting club,
for the purpose of explaining his ma
tionality, but he was hissed down.
Even his victory after the fight, which
all admit was his from the third round,
was hooted. That Burns had all the
best Of the fight from the beginning
is admitted by the Sportsman, which
says that Moir was badly used up,
while Burns. on the other hand, had
not turned hair, and not only left off
without mark, but even the parting
Of his hair was not disarranged." Con-
tinuing, the same paper says:
"Under the most favorable condi-
tions, Moir could never hope to make
any show with Burns, who WILL despite
the disappointing display given by his
opponent last night, experience very
little, if any trouble in beating who
ever may be put up against him on
this side of the Atlantic

WALL STREET READ MESSAGE
Advance Copies Secured in Mysterious
Manner.

New York, Dec. 3.-Despite pre-
cautions which have recently been
adopted to prevent premature publi-
cation Of information concerning the
public utterances of the president,
many banking and brokerage houses
in Wall street had yesterday what was
said to be an exact copy of the presi-
dents message to congress to be read
tomorrow. Members of these firms
did not express any doubts about the
authenticity of the copies. Advance
copies Of the presidents speeches and
messages hitherto received in Wall
street it was pointed out, have in
variably proved to be correct.
Various deductions were drawn
from the contents Of the message as
circulated in Wall street. In the main
the document was said to contain lit
tie. that was novel; nor did it indicate
that the president had changed his
policies. Frequent references are
made to his speeches hitherto deliv-
cred, outlining the presidents wishes
and desires in corporation regulation.

Halifax. N. S., Dec. 3-Canadian Pa

struck on IA ledge during thick snow
storm early yesterday, will be total
loss. Rocks pierced the steamers 8
bottom, directly beneath the engine
room, and the terrific pounding she
has sustained since she stranded mas
further damaged the hull. The work
Of transferring to the main land the
4s0 passengers and members OF the
crew who remained on Ironbound Is
land all night, was resumed today, ana
It was expected that by night all
would have reached this city.
The saving of all of the Mount
Temples passengers. more than 6o0 IN
number. under conditions dangerous
to the rescued and rescuers alike, is re-
garded as a feat unexcelled in the an
mails Of marine disasters in the North
Atlantic. When the ship struck the
rocks. hundreds Of immigrants, among
whom were more than 200 women and
children, were thrown into panic.
The officers and crew had difficulty IN
making the foreigners understand q
that there was no immediate danger.
When daylight came and the storm
cleared, the panic was over.
Seas swept over the steamer for
hours, and the passengers stood waist
deep in water. All suffered terribly
from cold. AS soon as order was re-
stored, {! line was taken ashore from
the vessel and by means of baskets the
women and children We're transferred
to the island. Within three hours all
were Landed safely upon the isiand
without accident. The male passengers
were taken off in fishermens dorles.
The steamship had $50 passengers
and . crew Of 100, and altho they We're
in the greatest peril for many hours
and subject to exposure to the cold
and prtvation for many hours more,
not one of them perished.
Guns were fired and rockets dis
charged in the hope of attracting at
ftention and getting succor from the
shore They were heard on the land
but nothing could be done either
ashore or on board, and long wait
began till daylight. Then the prec1p-
stous banks Of land were seen not
more than seventy-five feet away.
It WIS impossible to lower the pas
senger., down the steep sides OF the
liner to the surging water below. and
Captain Boothby determined to try
landing them by basket rigged by
breech,ss buoy from the ships rail to
the top Of the cliff.
A brave crew manned one OF the
boats and with superhuman efforts at
last succeeded in getting cable from
the ship to the shore at the foot of the
cliff. With eager eyes the 900 pas
senge1s watched the efforts Of the sea-
men. Hope mingled with fear and
when at last the man made the cable
fast on land there was cheer from
the ship.
Suspended from the cable was bas-
ket with ropes connecting with the
shin and the shore. Captain Booth

himself the title of heavyweight cham

After the fifth round Burns victory
was certain and in the tenth when the
Gunner tried to rise and failed to the
call of time and was literally cut To

scarcely a mark. Burns proved him-
self superior in every detail. He dis-
played greater science and Infinitely
better generalship and his blows We're
