London, May 23.
It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Hawick, with whom the quarrel occurred. He accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde's securities. Lord Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight for £10,000, and addressing the crowd said that he disowned his son. Both were bound over in sureties of £500 each to keep the peace.
