WATCHING FOR THE MAJESTIC.

The Social World Anxious for News Of Dray-
ton and Borrowe.
| New YORK, March 23.-The White Star liner
Majestic is due, but up 20 noon she had not
| been sighted. On board are Coleman Drayton
and Hallett Borrowe, concerning whose
actions society and everybody else
has been talking for the past
week. All night there were watchers. friends
of the respective disputants and others, wait
ing for the message that would tell of the Ma
jestic's arrival down the bay.
Then 1t was expected that regular squadron
| Of tugs and small steamers would swoop down
upon the incoming vessel to receive the first
intelligence. whether OF a sanguinary nature or
not, for it was feared by the friends of Drayton
and Borrowe that the threatened duel in Paris
might become an actuality in the narrow con-
| fines Of o steamer.
The Majestic started out to break her record,
and there was some expectation that she
might arrive here last night and stay in quaran-
tine. With this In view alarge contingent went
to the quarantine station yesterday after
noon, while those most interested in the well
fare Of the two principals chartered tugs and
had everything in readiness to meet the
steamer and remove their friends before the
rude gaze Of the world could be directed at
them.
Every one, however, was doomed to disap-
pointment, for the weather ut an early hour
this morning was SO thick and hazy that 1t
would retard the steamers speed and at least
would prevent her from being sighted my
distance out.
At the barge Office and about the revenue
cutter many also gathered, and the majority
OF these had papers from tho collector for
passage with the revenue officers and the privi-
lege Of boarding. Those who be-
lieve they know the character of
]. Coleman Drayton and Hallett Alsop
Borrowe best are OF the opinion that tragedy
is out of the question, although they fail to un-
derstand Mr.. Borrowe's position in taking pas
sage on the Majestic unless it was for dare. :"
Both came under assumed names and Mr.. Bor-
rowe's second, Harry vane Milbank, has regis
tered as Milbury.
1t may be, however, that Mr.. Borrowe comes
here to explain his position both in regard to
his relations with Mrs. Drayton and his alleged
refusal to give satisfaction. Some of the Off
GERS at the barge Office are inclined to believe
that the Majestic may not arrive in port until
comparatively late in the afternoon, although
she Is liable to be sighted at any moment.
SANDY Hook, n. j., March %, $50 p.m.-The
White Star steamer Majestic from Liverpool is
passing in.

OPPOSED TO THE BILL.

The Commissioners have recommended un-
favorable action upon II. r. bill 1907. 10
regulate the sale of distilled and fcrmented
liquors in the District of Columbia" which
was referred to them by Congress for their
views. The enactment Of this bill, they saw
would not materially improve the regulations
Of the liquor traffic or increase the municipal
revenues from liquor license fees. but it
would probably be an experiment of indefinite
duration which would correspondinsly delay
any substantial betterment OF the present in
effectual law on the subject
