London, May 22. -- The second trial of Oscar Wilde was begun in the Old Bailey court before Justice Willis. There was a dense crowd
of spectators present in the courtroom. Wilde was very restless and looked worried.
The fashionable afternoon promenade on Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators to-day when the Marquis of Queensberry met
his son, Lord Douglas of Hawick. A few words passed between them and then there was a very determined conflict. Lord Douglas’ countenance was disfigured
with a black eye. Neither the father nor son preferred a charge, so they were merely accused of disorderly conduct, They will be arraigned in the
Marlborough street police court to-morrow.
Lord Douglas banged his father’s head with an umbrella during the fight to-day and loudly asked whether the Marquis of Queensberry
intended to cease writing objectionabe letters to Lord Douglas’ wife. The police arriving upon the scene Lord Douglas excitedly repeated this accusation
of persecution, which he said had occurred since he had gone on the bail bond of Oscar Wilde. The Marquis of Queensberry retorted, "That’s my son, I’ll
fight him anywhere in the three kingdoms for £10,000." The police at first allowed the disputants to go, but the struggled was renewed in another part of
Piccadillt and they were arrested. It is reported that Lord Douglas has gone abroad.
