LONDON CORRESPONDENCE
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT).
London. Thursday Night. The sidelight thrown by the Queensbery and Russell cases on the manners and doings of society in high life displays many features of peculiarity and revolting character. If such revelations are in any way typical of aristocratic taste and high life, or even sections of it, what an amount of, seething sordidness remains veiled and hidden under the dark shadow of prudence and dread of publicity. The very street whipper-snappers show their interest in the unfolding sensational details by buying up successive editions of the evening papers.
The St James' Gazette and tho Manchester Guardian have not published a report of Oscar Wilde's case. The St James' Gazette takes credit to itself in this evening's contents-bill that it is the only paper that does not publish a report of this notorious case. On the other hand, the Tory evening Standard, which is a church paper pur excellence, gives the longest report of the case of any of the evening journals.
