New York. April 7.- The Sun's London special cable says: Most observers of English character would have declared it impossible t oarouse
the phlegmatic conscience and emotions of the nation to such a pitch of intensity as is to-day manifesting itself in all classes. The horror, the
loathing, the anger which the revelations in connection with the Wilde-Queensberry case have caused can be compared only with one of those whirlwinds of
passion which once in a few decades sweep suddenly ever a nation and by their very violence restore confidnence in human nature.
The Doom of the Cult.
The newspapers are unanimous, for instance, in pronouncing the doom of aestheticism and everything connected with that cult.
Wilde had 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 the future, no one will accept his plays. They are doomed, and there is a strong reaction
towards a healthier treatment of stage representations, while the current decadent literature will also get a set-back. Wilde is not only a prisoner, but
financially ruined.
Rev. A. Douglas Speaks.
London, April 6.- Rev. A. E. Douglas, brother of the Marquis of Queensberry, has written a letter repudiating the statement made in an
interview by Lord Douglas, of Hawick, eldest living son of the Marquis, that no member of the family, except his father believes the charges against
Wilde. In refutation, the writer of the letter says: "My mother, my sister and myself believe the allegations against Oscar Wilde."
Archibald Edward Douglas, brother of the Marquis of Queensberry, has written a letter repudiating the statement made today in the course
of an interview by Lord Douglas of Hawick, eldest living son of the Marquis, to the effect that no member of the family except his father believes the
charges against Wilde. In refutation of this statement the writer of the letter says:"My mother, my sister and myself believe the allegations made against
Oscar Wilde."
The Lord Douglas of Warwick referred to above recently returned from Australia became a fast friend and constant associate of Wilde. He
is said to have an unsmirched reputation. In an interview this afternoon he said everyone in his family except his father refused to believe the
accusations against Wilde. He himself was willing at any time to go upon the witness stand in Wilde's behalf and he was vehement in his denounciation of
Wilde's counsel for having withdrawn the suit.
Edward Carson, Q. C., M. P., who so ably and relentlessly conducted the case for the Marquis of Queensberry, was a class-mate of Oscar
Wilde at Trinity College, Dublin. The presiding judge, Justice Collins, is also an Irishman.
