OUR SPECIAL CABLES
Oscar Wilde arraigned in Bow Street Court.
His guilt established by evidence —
Theatres Will Drop his name
Special cable letter.
London, April 6. With the Wilde Queensberry and Russell vs. Russell cases in the court here; the burning to death of a woman in Ireland under extraordinary circumstances, by her husband and nor other relatives, on the ground that she was bewitched; the shooting of a girl by her lover in the streets London, and the man’s subsequent suicide, one would have thought the English press had enough to do in the correction of its own morals this week. But, these events have not disturbed the usual tendency to lecture the United States. The Daily News, and other newspapers attribute the result of the Chicago election entirely to the work of Messrs. Stead and Burns.

Naturally, the Wilde disclosure continues to be absorbing topics of conversation at 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 approval. As a result, 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 first day of the trial, in place of the usual news placards, which all the newsboys display, the placard of the St. James’ Gazelle read: "The only paper in London with no details of the Wilde case."

Mr. Edward M. Carson, Q. C. M. P., why so ably and relentlessly conducted the case for the Marquis of Queensberry, was a classmate of Oscar Wilde at Trinity college, Dublin. The presiding judge, Justice Collins, is also an Irishman. Wilde has been making immense sums of money 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.
Mr. George Alexander, proprietor and manager of the St. James theatre, was asked if he would withdraw Wilde’s play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," which is being presented at that place of amusement. He said: "If the play was to be procured tomorrow (the question was put to him last night) I would stop it. But it is impossible to do so now without throwing 120 persons out of employment." Therefore unless the public abstains from going to see the pieces, Wilde’s plays will be continued. "An ideal Husband," one of Wilde’s plays now running in the Haymarket theatre will be transferred after this week to the Criterion theatre. The author’s name in both cases will be omitted from advertisements in future.
