A Central News telegram from New York states that Mr. John Lane, publisher, of London, writes as follows to the representative of the agency:--"The details of Oscar Wilde's case have not been extensively reported here, but private cabled advices inform me that i t bat been stated in Court that I introduced Shelley to Wilde. .... My relations with Wilde have been entirely of a business nature. I have never introduced any one to him. On the contrary, I have frequently declined to do so. My attitude towards him is quite well known. After seeing the papers here on my arrival last Sunday I immediately cabled to my manager to withdraw all of Wilde's books, and not merely his name from the title pages."
