Oscar Wilde.

London, May 22.—Taylor was convicted on two counts in connection with Charles William Parker. Sentence was postponed.

The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his sons are strained.

In Piccadilly to-day the Marquis severely chastised his son Lord Douglas of Hawick, both were arrested and subsequently admitted to bail.

Douglas began the quarrel by calling the Marquis of Queensberry a liar and a slanderer.

The latter eventually knocked his son down; a furious struggle resulted until the police interfered and separated the pair.

Both were bound over in sureties of £500 each, to keep the peace.

Wilde's trial is now proceeding; he is being tried on a charge of indecency in connection with Taylor, Parker, Woods and Shelley.

The Marquis of Queensberry is attending the trial.
