London, April 8.- The Sun, speaking of the Oscar Wilde case says that another sensational arrest is possible before Thursday, the day
when Wilde's hearing will be resumed in the Bow street police court.
The Marquis of Queensberry has authorized the Globe to deny that there is any truth in the story cabled to the United Press that he had
written to Oscar Wilde after the trial, saying: "If the country allows you to leave all the better for the country; but if you take my son with you, I
shall follow you wherever you go and shoot you."
Naturally, the Wilde disclosures continue to be the absorbing topic of conversation at the clubs, etc. The stand taken by the St. James
Gazette in refusing to print the details of the case is attracting much attention, and the paper has been deluged with letters of approbation. The action
of the St. James Gazette is likely to prove a good stroke of business for the proprietors of that publication. On Thursday last the second day of the
trial, in place of the usual news placards, which all newsboys display, the placard of the St. James Gazette was: "The only paper in London with no
details of the Wilde case."

Wilde at Trinity college, Dublin. The presiding judge, Justice Collins, is an Irishman.

Wilde has been making immense sums of money lately out of his plays and books. His plays are now running at two London theatres, and many
companies are playing them in the provinces. Of course, in future, no one will accept his plays. George Alexander, proprietor and manager of the St. James
theatre, stated that if it were not for the fact that the withdrawal of Wilde's play, The Importance of Being in Earnest, would throw 120 persons out of
employment, he would at once stop it. Therefore, unless the theatre-going public manifests its displeasure of the author by refusing to witness his works,
the play at the St. James will be continued as usual.

after this week be transferred to the Criterion Theatre. The author's name, in both cases, will be omitted from the bills and advertisements in future.
