Borrowe and Fox the Laughing
Stock of London,
rOTTGHT WITH PLUMBAGO BULLETS.
Latest developments in the Lndi
crous "Affair ol" Hoiioi" Indicate
That the "Duelists" Kan No liisk
of Injury in the Bloodless En
counter. Brussels, April 25. The Dray ton-Bon-owe
scandal has at last culminated
in a duel, and almost a tragedy. Messrs.
Borrowe and Fox met on Saturday after
noon at Nieuport Bains, a seaside resort
near Ostend. After firing two shots
each at twelve paces they retired with
out shaking hands or passing the compli
ments usual on such occasions.
Mr. Fox's first shot whistled by Mr.
Borrowe's ear, while Mr. Borrowers last
tore through Mr. Fox's frock coat near
the hip bone, pierced his coat in three
different places and grazed the nap of
his trousers over the abdomen.
The cause of the duel was a letter from
Mr. Borrowe to Mr. Fox, in which he
denounced the latter as a "liar and a
coward,"' for asserting that he (Borrowe)
had given jermisyion to publish the cor
respondence between Dravton and him
self. This brought forth a challenge from
Mr. Fox List Tuesday, and arrangements
were made to tight on the Belgian
frontier.
At the dueling ground, where the
party were accompanied by a surgeon
and "two newspaper men, the regulation
preliminaries were gone through with,
the two shots fired and all retired from
the bloodless "field of honor."
London, April 20. There is every
reason to believe that the duel between
Edward Fox and Hallett Alsop Borrowe
on the Belgian coast near Nieuport
Bains was no duel at all. The principals
and seconds all understood that there
was to be no bloodshed, and the tAvo
newspaper men were taken along to give
the notoriety for which the comedy was
gotten up. The result is entirely differ
ent, however, from what the stage
duelists expected, and they are now the
laughing stock of London.
The statement that the tails of Fox's
Prince Albeit coat were perforated by
Borrowe's bullet on the second shot has
not been proven other than by the say
of those interested in getting up the
duelling story, but how coat tails could
be shot through without the individual
wearing them getting hurt is a question
decidedly puzzling.
It is said that the bullets used were
made of plumbago, which is finely di
vided black lead. The explosion reduces
bullets of this kind to powder, and at
the distance of one or twelve paces they
are equally harmless. Plumbago bullets
in opera bouffe duels are not unusual,
there being a number of instances on
record in which thev have been used.
It is also an interesting fact that the
Belgian police were notified that the
duel was too take place, and as news
paper men are not liable to spoil a sen
sation it is only too probable that the
interested parties are responsible for
this, too.
There is a story afloat here that it was
originally intended that all hands should
be arrested by the Belgian authorities,
as the penalty was thought to be simply
a $200 fine., but as it was learned after
wards that there was also a month's im
prisonment the arrest scheme was con
cluded to be unwise, and the original
place of fighting, which was known to
the Belgian police, was changed at the
last moment.
The reason assigned for the faking of
this duel is that Borrowe had publicly
branded Fox as a liar, and Borrowe's
courage was in disrepute owing to his
failure to meet Drayton. The pair were
being ridiculed by every one and felt the
necessity of doing something to straighten
out their reputations. One unkind
scoffer told your correspondent that he
believed that Milbank went along just
to show that his famous duelling pistols,
about which he has done so much vaunt
ing, were real weapons and could go off.

Nuw York, April 20. Monsignor

FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS
The Houses Overides the Election Com
mittee in the Rockwell Case.
Washington, April 30. Tbe feature of the
open session of the senate was the short but
spirited debate on an Arizona funding bill
which by indirection brought up the sil
ver question and resulted in a. yea and nay
vote on the question of striking out the
words "gold coin'1 and inserting "lawful
money of the United States" in the interest
bearing provision of the bill. This amend
ment iwas carried by i-'S to r.'4, but Mr. Gray
(Del.), who voted in the negative, took occa
sion to deny that the vote had any bearing on
the free coinage question. Mr. Palmer (Ills.),
who voted the same way, explained that he
did so in recognition of the right of Arizona
to manage her own affairs in her own way and
to pav in gold if she wanted to. Mr. Hill (N.
Y.) vted for the amendment without com
ment. In executive session the Behring sea
modus viveudi was ratified. The house passed
a resolution to vacate the order of general
"leave to print" to members who desired to
submit remarks on the tariff and silver ques
tions. A resolution was also adopted author
izing the civil service committee to investi
gate the alleged violation of the civil service
law by certain officials in Baltimore. The re
mainder of the session was devoted to the con
sideration of the conte I election cases of
Noyes vs. Rockwell, from the Twenty-eighth
district of New York.
Washington, April 21. Mr. Teller's anti
administration free silver speech in the sen
ate created even more of a sensation than
that of his colleague, Mr. Wolcott, upon the
same subject. Mr. Teller's statement that if
the Republican party continued to adhere to
the single gold standard the four chief silver
producing states, Colorada, Nevada, Idaho
and Montana, would not after this be able to
co-operate with the Republican party either
in the senate or elsewhere was concurred in
by Mr. Sanders, of Montana. Another strik
ing incident of the day was the announcement
from Mr. Sherman, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, that he was in error
in supposing that the existing Chinese re
striction law expired by limitation on May 6
next. It was now discovered that it runs till
July, 1804. The obvious result of this discovery
will be that no present action on the Chinese
question will be pressed in the senate. The
house devoted its entire session to a continua
tion of the Noyes-Rockwell contested election
case.
Washington, April 22. The Chinese ques
tion proved as irrepressible as the silver ques
tion in the senate, notwithstanding the opin
ion of the foreign relations committee that ex
isting laws remain in force till 1894. A general
Chinese debate, characterized by a vigorous
onslaught on the Geary house bill by Mr. Sher
man, was entered upon and remained the un
finished business. An ineffectual attempt wras
made to arrive at an agreement to take a vote
on the qtiestion at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The
Rockwell-Noyes contested election case occu
pied the entire time of the house, the debate
being exceedingly dry, and but little attention
was paid to it. The majority of the members
occupied their time in chatting and smoking
in the foyer and cloak rooms.
Washington, xVpril 33. Chinese exclusion
occupied the senate all day after the morning
hour, and at adjournment was apparently
good for two or more days further discussion.
An extraordinary feature of the debate was
the introduction by Mr. Davis (Minn.) of an
attack on tha papal hierarchy, the German
ambassador at Rome and the Austrian royal
family, for alleged attempted interference
with Catholic immigrants in the United
States. During the morning hour the senate,
without a division, adopted an amendment to
a private pension bill increasing the pension
of all helpless Mexican soldiers from $8 to $12
per month. After a four hours1 debate on the
Noyes-Rockwell contest the house decided to
retain Mr. Rockwell in his seat. The principal
speeches of the day were made by Mr. Fellows
(N. Y.) and Mr. Cockran (N.Y.), who spoke for
Mr. Rockwell. Mr. O'Ferrall (Va.) made an
earnest appeal for Mr. Noyes, the contestant.
At times the scenes were dramatic, and there
was considerable confusion. On the motion
that Mr. Noyes was not entitled to the seat the
vote resulted 1-iiJ to 08, rnd on the resolution
that Rockwell was elected, 138 to W.
Washington, April 36. The senate passed
the Chinese bill exactly as reported from the
senate committee on foreign relations, to con
tinue restriction laws for ten years, and sent it
to the house for conference. This occupied the
entire day. The entire day in the house was
consumed in an attempt to procure a vote on
the resolution expunging certain portions of
Mr. Walker's remarks from the record. It
will be remembered that Mr. Walker made
allusions to Mr. Williams and Mr. Hoar, of
Massachusetts, which were considered objec
tionable. The Republicans declined to vote,
thus breaking'a quorum, the speaker refusing
to count members present as voting, ami afler
three calls of the house and repeated yea and
nay votes, the house adjourned without action
on the resol ul ion.
Ten Thousand Starving.

ferers. They say that 10,000 people are

A Madman's F'eaiful Crime.
St. Petersburg, April 25. The choir

the Paris Miscreants.
ANOTHER TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
The AVine Shop of M. Very, AVhere
Kavochal Was Arrested, Wrecked
hy Dynamite and the Proprietor
Killed Nine Others Seriously In
jured Many Threatening Letters.
Paris, April 26. There was a terrific
explosion last evening in the entrance of
the wine shop of M. Very, 22 Boulevard
Magenta, where Ravachol, the anarch
ist, was arrested on March 30. 'Ihe
bomb contained at least twelve pounds
of dynamite, and completely wrecked
the establishment. Ten persons were
seriously injured, and M. Very killed.
M.Very was standing m the middle or
the room when the shock came. He
was thrown against the wall in a heap
of shattered tables and chairs. The
ceiling fell and several beams were split
and fell to the floor. A minute after
the explosion ten of the guests recovered
their senses and ran into the street shout
ing and crying "fire." The police who
have been stationed near the wine shop
since Ravachol's arrest came up as the
uninjured came out and began bringing
out those unable to help themselves.
M. Very was found to be m a pitiable
condition. Both of his legs had been
crushed by the falling beams, his collar
bone wras fractured and his right ami
broken. He was bleeding at the mouth
and ears and is supposed to have suffered
internal injuries. His little boy was
found unconscious in a comer, with his
collar bone broken. Both were taken to
the St. Louis hospital, where M. Very's
legs were amputated. He died shortly
before midnight.
Of the other nine persons injured three
were taken to the hospital and the others
were helped to their homes by the police.
Six of them are said to have broken
limbs and internal injuries.
Half of the front of the wine shop was
blown out. The stairs of the lower two
stories were smashed to splinters, and
not a door or window in the house
was left whole. The buildings on
each side of the wine shop wTere dam
aged from top to bottom. Half of the
furniture was broken and all the glass
m tiiem was siiatterea. ine wnoie
block around the wine shop was rocked
by the explosion, and the walls were
started so that they cracked or bulged.
A waiter who was taken to the hos
pital with M. Very states that his master
has received fifty or sixty threatening
letters since Ravochal was arrested.
Two of these were found in M. Very's
desk, and they state that he and. his
place were doomed to destruction before
May 1.
Herot, the waiter who assisted in the
arrest of Ravochal, was not at the wine
shop when the bomb exploded, and it is
thought that he has fled from the city.
Yesterday he received a letter warning
him that he would not live to testify
against Ravochal, and the following
twenty-four hours would be his last.
The panic last night throughout the
city surpassed anything that has been
experienced since the outrages began.
Three arrests have been made, includ
ing a man who just after the explosion
in the wine shop shouted at the next
comer "Vive la anarchie." A revolver
and knife were found on him. He pro
fesses to know nothing of the perpe
trators of the explosion.
Thousands of sightseers had crowded
the street near the wrecked wine shop,
and the police were unable to drive them
back. Four companies of soldiers were
called out. They drove the crowds into
the side streets, and remained on guard
until the people had gone home.
