B0RR0WE AND FOX DUEL.
RESULT or THE DRAITOy AFFAIR.
Reported to Have Met In Belgium and One
ofthe Participants Mortally Wounded.
Impossible to Get Details.

LoSDov. April 2i.-Areport was received here
early this morning that the Borrowe-Fox duel
has taken place and that one of the men re-
ceved a mortal wound
The report does not say which of the men
was wounded.
According TO the report. the duel was
fought with swords.
IL is impossible TO confirm the rumor or
get any Of the details, owing to the lateness
Of the hour.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE
The readers of THE TIMES are familiar with
the recent ROrrowe-Drayton affair, in which
the former was challenged to mortal combat
by the latter. as an outcome of alleged intl-
macy between Borrowe and Mrs. Drayton. a
daughter of Mrs. William Astor. Bor-
rowe declined TO fight, which resulted IN
heaping upon him the censure Of his friends
both IN New York and abroad.
Then the question arose as TO who was re-
sponsblefOr selling the correspondence in the
matter 20 the press. OK. a notorious Londoner.
who was one of Borrowe sympathizers IN the
controversy with Drayt n. admitted selling
the manuscript but said it was with Borrowers
consent. This Borrowe Indignantly denied
and used some strong epithets IN abuse OF MS
hitherto friend Fox.
When Borrowe returned to London several
days ago with his champion. II. Nane NIL
bank. he seemed TO avoid meeting with
Fox.
Last Tuesday Milbank met Fox by accident.
and the duel is believed 10 be the outcome
of conversation on that occasion.
Milbank has made no secret Of the fact that
he was heartily tired of the whole affair, and
that if Borrowe expected his assistance IN
cotf ba matters
must DO brought TO II climax very speedily.
Milbank has stood by Borrowe through
thick and thin, even against the ADVICE OF
friends here. who declared that Borrowe was
not "a man worthy of the slightest confidence;
The fact Of the matter Is that both Fox and
Borrowe are much mortified at the position
in which they have placed themselves.
While Fox has practically NJ social position
here. hls friends have made him feel keeniy
their dlsapprobation of his conduct In selling
the correspondence intrusted TO him IN an al
fair of honor. even though he did II, as ne
alleges, with Borrowe's consent
BorrOwe. on the other hand, made no secret
of the fact that nearly all his friends IN New
York have cut him. because Fox insists on
making him an accomplce in the publication
of Mrs. Drayton's disgrace.
,BoRRowE's REAL MOTIVE.
There is no doubt that Borrowers motive
in fighting Fox was sheer despair. Being
ostracized both in New York and
London he felt compelled to resort
TO some methed TO retrieve his
lost honor. He undoubtedly believed that II
meeting with Fox on the field of honor would
be vindcation from the aspersions cast
upon him by Drayton for his refusal to meet
hin.
Fox was certainly as formidable a foe as
Drayton would be. and if Borrowe was not
afraid to meet him for an exchange OF shots.
the inference IS that cowardice was not his
ground for declining to cross swords with
Drayton.

Important Change in Ordnance.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. April 23.-One of the
most important changes in ordnance is that
authorized yesterday by Commodore Folger.
the naval chief OF ordnance. in applying the
Dashiel type of Iapid-fre mechanism 10 naval
six-inch breech-loading rifles. The adoption
OF this mechanism was justified by the ad-
mirable performance Of the device when it
was recently tested. The application of the
mechanism TO the sx-inch gun increases the
efficiency Of that weapon materially. 1t is the
invention OF Ensign Dashiell. Of the navy.
The conversion Of the six-inch gun into the
rapd-fre type places the ordnance of the
American navy slightly in advance Of most
naval powers 50 far as rapid-hre guns 60.
