While Mr.. Borrowe and Mr.. Mllbank
were breakfasting on board the Males
tic this morning, some of the passen-
gers did not hesitate toexpress In rather
free terms their opinion OF the matter
which has made so much interest center
in Messrs Borrowe, Drayton and Mil
bank. II was said that during the early
evening while the Majestic was tied up
In the fog bank number OF passengers,
among them Mr.. Borrowe and Miloank,
gathered In the saloon and began 10 tell
stories and sing songs TO pass away the
time. Finally some one sang song
about n man who fell in love with the
wifi. OF another man and this was fol-
lowed by a song which recited duel
which never came of. The result OF
his was that Borrowo and Mllbank left
the party 10 frame OF MUD not er-
actly peaceful.
Mr.. Borrowe, was seen on the pier this
morning, and In short Interview said:

matter as have no chance 70 see my friends
or learn anything beyond what have seen
In the papers brought on board the steamer.

for Mrs Drayton as have for many other
ladies OF my acquaintance, but these charges
are 80 utterly false that don't know what
TO say.
~ cannot say anything about Mr.. Dray-
ton. He knows how 70 communicate with
me or nv friends, and had rather be ex-
cused from saying anything about him. we
met several times on board the steamship,
but did not speak nor recognize one an
other.
Now II you will excuse me, continued
Mr.. Borrowe, will talk with you later,
but Just now want rest.
When asked II he intended 70 meet Mr..
Drayton in New York on the field OF honor
Mr.. Borrowe replied that he was here on
business and happened over on the same
steamer with Mr.. Drayton. Mr.. Borrowe
would not say what his plans for the future
were. nor would he say whether or not he
knew anything OF the whereabouts OF Mr..
Drayton.
As soon as Mr.. Borrowe's baggage
was examined he, In company with hr.
Milbank and an elderly gentleman, took
hack and drove rapidly away from the
dock.
II Is said this afternoon that Mr..
Drayton has been closeted with his law
yers all day and that statement OF bis
side OF the affair is being prepared.
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 be went
away that he had no statement to make
regarding his trouble with Hallett Bor'
rowe.
