London, 22nd May.
The relations between existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son Lord Alfred Douglas, as the result of the Oscar Wilde scandal, continue strained ; and in Piccadilly to-day the Marquis severely chastised his son.
Lord Alfred began the quarrel by calling the Marquis of Queensberry a liar and a slanderer.
The Marquis eventually knocked his son down, and a furious struggle resulted until the police interfered and separated the pair.
Both were arrested, and subsequently admitted to bail.

(Received May 23, 10.20 a. m.)
It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Hawick, with whom the quarrel occurred.
The latter accused his father of sending insulting letters to Lady Douglas because he was one of Wilde's sureties. Lord Queensberry shouted out that he was anxious to renew the fight for £10 000 ; and addressing the crowd he said be disowned his son.
Both the disputants were bound over, in sureties of £500 each, to keep the peace.
Wilde's trial is now proceeding.
