THE QUEENSBURY-WILDE SCANDAL.
London, April 6. The warrant for the arrest of Oscar W ilde was issued at the instance of the Treasury. Although Wilde’s name has been removed from the playbills, the companies continue to play his pieces for the present. Wilde in his letter to the press explaing his reason for abandoning his case states that he is willing to bear the ignominy in order to avoid calling Lord Douglas to give evidence against bis father, but he says that the sou was eager and quite willing to enter the box. Oscar Wilde was remanded till Thursday, bail not being allowed. Parisian society is petrified at Wilde’s exposure, April 8. Since he was remanded with Wilde, Taylor has made statements which are likely to lead to many arrests.
