The relations existing between the Marquis of Queensberry and his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, arising out of the Oscar Wilde scandal, continue strained, and in Picadilly to day, the Marquis severely chastised his son. Both were arrested, and subsequently admitted to bail.
LONDON, May 22.
Sir Alfred 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 at once separated the pair.
LATER.
It was not Lord Alfred Douglas, but Lord Douglas of Howick, 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 ten thousand pounds.
Addressing the crowd, he said he disowned his son.
Both were bound over in sureties of £500 each to keep the peace.
Wilde's trial is now proceeding.
