BORROWE SWEARS
That Mrs. Drayton Has Done
Nothing Wrong.

Nothing Wrong.
NEW YORK, March 24.-Apparently
the end is not yet in the Borrowe-Dray-
ton scandal. The failure of MIR. Dray-
ton to keep his appointment last night
at the Windsor hotel, where he said he
would make a statement of his side of
the case, together with his complete
disappearance from his usual resort,
was the subject of no little comment
this morning.
A morning paper prints this as an in
terview of its reporter with young BOr-
rowe, the reporter starting off thus:
r Now, has there been any impro-
nriety in your conduct with Mrs. Dray-
tbn?'
a1 Never as there is God in heaven.
Let that be stated positively in your
newspaper. Never has word passed
between her and myself that l would
not have been willing that her husband
or the whole world should hear or know.
She is a very lovely woman, whom /
respect and esteem"
.is Have you seen Mrs. Drayton since
the letters passed between her husband
and yourself?'
81 have not"
"Have you had any communication
with her?"
IL have not"
Is "You have not written to her, eh? or
she to you?"
"Rum-well, l rather think upon
consideration that won't answer that
/ question"
While both Mr.. Borrowe and Mr.. Mil
bank professed not to know how the
matter first became public property, it
was said by one of the passengers Of
the Majestic, who had previous knowl-
edge of the mattor, that club man, a
member of one of the swell London
clubs, while under the influence of
wine, divulged the fact that he was
aware of the proposed duel, and when
pressed for details, told sufficient to
make the story common property.
J. Coleman Drayton was in the Union
club this afternoon with his lawyer,
John Nash. He denied himself to re-
porters, but left word when he went
away that he had no statement to make
regarding his trouble with Hallet Bor-

THE FIRST STRAW.

The annual voting in Rhode Island in
April ordinarily has very little interest
outside the state. This year it will lave
considerable significance. State officers
are TO be chosen and legislature that
will have senator to elect in place of
ALDRIcH, one of the pillars of the high
tariff policy. His defeat would be
great blow to the monopolistic cause.
The Democrats would have no chance
in the state were it not for the secret
ballot law, as the corporation and Doodle
element are tremendous forces to be
met, and the traffic in votes has been a
gross scandal in the state. Last year
the Democrats had 1900 plurality
for governor, but the Republicans
had 81 majority out of the 100 members
of the legislative houses, and elected
the Republicans on the state ticket, no
choice being made by the people. That
is one of the few states that holds to the
old absurdity of majority vote. There
might be majority of thousands for
the Democrats on the state ticket, and
vet the legislature be lost, owing to the
ancient style of representation. For
instance, in the senate town of 700
has the same representation as the larg-
est city with 1872, 900. In the house, towns
with 100000 population have but 80 MEM
bers, while others with $4,000 have 40
members. 1t is in these small towns
that the vote buyers do their work, and.
whether the Democrats are more or less
honest than the Republicans, they are
out when barrels are to be used in this
way. But the reform ballot makes the
vote traffic uncertain, and the Demo-
Gratis are hopeful of getting the legisla-
ture. The fact that the Democrats de-
clared their position very emphatically
in convention on the coinage question
and the candidacy for president gives
additional interest to the election.

KEPT IN THE FAMILY.
Mrs. ParneIl Shares the Wood
Wealth With Others.

LONDON, March 24.-This was the
day fixed for the hearing of the Wood
will case. Mrs. Wood. the testatrix,
died some years ago, leaving fortune
of about 81, 100000 to her niece, then
Mrs. O'Shea, but now the widow of
Charles Stewart Parnell. The other
nieces and a nephew, Gen. Sir Evelyn
Wood. brought suit to have the will set
aside, alleging that undue influence
had been used upon Mrs. Wood TO get
her to make her will in Mrs. ParDell's
favor. Among those present i'll the
court room today were Capt. O'Shea
and Gen. Sir. Evelyn Wood. The
counsel and parties to the suit had an
animated conversation prior to the
opening of the court. During this dis
cussion the Will of Mrs. Wood was
passed around for examination.
After Justice Jeune had taken his
seat upon the bench and the court was
formally declared open, Sir Charles Rus
sell, counsel for Mrs Parnell, who, by
the popularity of the English law, was
the plaintiff in the case. and being the
party DESTROYS of proving the will, an
nounced that the case had been settled
by family arrangement, The terms
of the settlement have not been made
public, but it is believed that Mrs. Par
nell, to whom everything was left abso-
lutely, has consented to relinquish to
seven claimants considerable share of
her inheritance.

EMBLEMs IN THE ARMY.
Wearing of the Shamrock Dis
cussed in Parliament.

cussed in Parliament.
LONDON, March 24.-Tuesday last a
question was asked the government in
the house of commons regarding the
punishment of soldiers at Aldershot for
wearing the shamrock On st. Patrick's
day, when they were in undress uni
form. Rt. Hon. Edward Stanhope, see
rotary of state for war, then replied
that he had telegraphed for informa-
ton of the affair, and today he read an
officers report Cd the matter in ques-
ton.
BY this report it appears that pri-
vate named O'Grady wore shamrock
on St. Patrick's day. 1t did not occur
to the officer that it was st. Patrick's
day and he ordered O'Grady to remove
the emblem. O'Grady In most insub.
ordinate manner replied, II won'tu

was again ordered to remove the sham
rock and he again refused. He was
taken before superior officer and was
sentenced to forty-eight hours hard
labor, not for wearing the shamrock,
but for the style of his replies to his
officer. The house, the secretary of war
added, would agree with the govern
ment that the punishment was iustifad

CAPRIVI'S POSITION.
Supreme, Yet Subordinate to Won
Eulenburg.

BERLIN, March 24-The Prussian
cabinet is now substantially readjusted.
Count Won EuIenDurg has accepted the
post of PruSsian premier, and DR..
Bosse, secretary of state of the Office of
justice of the empire, has been appointed
minister of public instruction and
medical and ecclesiastical affairs.
Chancellor Caprivi retains the Office Of
Prussian foreign minister, together
with that of chancellor of the empire, so
that he will be in the peculiar position
of chancellor, with supreme direction,
under the kaiser, of imperial affairs,
while at the same time the subordinate
in the Russian ministry of Count Won
Eulenburg. 1t is not believed that
Caprivi will retain even the Chancellor
ship any longer than he thinks neces-
sary in view of the kaiser's health.

WHY AND WHO.

Whatever basis there may have been
for the alleged suggestions of Senator
HILL to Michigan friends in regard to
the Democratic candidacy for president,
it may be readily credited that if his
own selection is not to be had or is
deemed inadYisable, his preference is
for Western man. This would pre-
Sumably be the fact with all the aspir-
ants in the East. They are all compar-
atiyely young men. They will not, at
least, be too old for the presidency for
several terms yet. The fact is paipa-
BILE to them that there is a growing
restiVeneSs with the Democrats of
the West at the constant de-
mand for the candidacy in the
East. Should the precedents be fol-
lowed this time, the Western demand
would be too imperative to be unheeded
four years from now, and it might not
be in their time that the chance would
open to them again. The second choice
of HILL, CLEVELAND, GoRMAN, PATTI
SON, RUSSELL or any others named in
this connection in the East would nat
urally be from the West. Then, in
looking for Western man, aside from
considerations of strength and capacity,
the preference would be for one who
could not be in the way in 1896. 1t is
not at all improbable in this view that
the mind of the New York senator is
rightly indicated in the statement that
his eyes are turned to the hale but
aged senator from Illinois. He is the
only one of the men conspicuously
named in the West who could not be
thought of for second term. His age
has been raised as an objection to his
selection, but it may prove to be the
most Influential factor in his favor
in case the choice is made from
Western men. 1t will be insisted that
any contingency possible from it will
be met by placing vigorous young
man in the second place on the ticket.
