AIlbank and the
Duce de Morny, growing out of the submis-
sion of the hypothetical case 10 the latter
and NJ Scholl, is one which must inevitably
brand one of the parties as an unconscionable
liar.
A cablegram was received yesterday from
Edward Fox, who acted with Mr.. Milbank
as a second for Mr.. Borrowe. saying that il
was he who had given out for publication
the correspondence relating 10 the duel, and
Mr. Mibank wants to know what right Mr..
Fox had to take such a step without first
consulting him.
When a reporter called at Mr. Borrowe's
house, Mr. Milbank was alone in the recep
tion room.
Milbank Indignant.
oMr Borrowe has asked me 10 say for
him. be said, "that a cablegram was re-
ceived from Mr.. Fox saying that it was he
who had given out the correspondence.
We cabled TO him and that was his answer.
Mr. Borrowe and have said that we had
no hand in the matter and were entirely ig-
norant of it, and this Of course puts that
point at rest. How Mr. Fox ever did such
thing cannot understand. He had no
right to do il, and I thoroughly condemn
his behavior
Mr.. Millbank puffed vigorously at his ciga-
rette when he said this, and flush spread
over his face as be repeated emphatically;

face if he were present / have my rights

was his duty to keep everything inviolably
secret. Mr.. Fox's explanation is on its way
and VIII probably be here ON Monday. Until
that arrives It would be premature 10 say
what Mr. Borrowe or / viii do. There may
be some reasons or circumstances that will
prove satisfactory
The other trouble is with the Due dc
Morny, the expert on the theory, II not in
the practice Of duelling, who, according "a
reports from Paris, has made public let
ter from Mr.. Milbank laying before him q
certain state Of facts and asking for his ad
| vice thereon.
II shall demand an explanation of the
Due de Morny today for allowing that let
ter to get out. Il was private letter writ
ten from one gentleman 20 another, and h,
had no right TO show it to any one without
asking my permission"

Mr.. Milbank said there was nothing NOR,
for Mr.. Borrowe TO say in the matter. i
Mr.. Drayton made any answer to the pub
lished allegations Mr.. Borrowe would prob
ably reply to it, but at present there wa
no need Of any further comment on Mr.
Borrowers part. Mr.. Milbank was told that
Dr. Derby and Colonel Hazard, two Of Mr.
Draytonis advisers, had intimated in report
ed interviews that all Of the corresponding,
in the case had not been published. Their,
was no ground, he said, for any such init
I nation; the correspondence, so far as HI
knew anything of it, had all been published
Dr. Derby, with whom Mr.. Drayton Il
staying, said in answer to a reporters ques
tion: "Mr. Drayton will not make any
statement. What can he sayl His 81
lenoe is all that should be looked for from
true gentleman. Il is digniied and Mr.
Drayton has not lost an iota Of his position
in society because Of his becoming reticence
His standing is absolutely safe in the com
munity. He does not want 10 have am
controversy. Mr. Drayton's friends com
mend him for his demeanor in this affair. HI
has not so far said word for publication
and it would be very much against my ad
vice should he do sO.n
