LONDON SCORES THE UNITED STATES.
Press Is Not Satisfied with Correcting the
State of Affairs There.
London, April 6. - With the Wilde-Queensberry and Russell vs. Russell cases in the courts here, the burning to death of a woman in Ireland under extraordinary circumstances by her husband and other relatives on the ground that she was bewitched, the shooting of a girl by her lover in the streets of London and the man's subsequent suicide, one would have thought that the English press had enough to do in correcting its own morals this week. But these events have not disturbed the usual self-sufficient 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 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 approval. The action of the Gazette is likely to prove a good stroke of business for the proprietors. Thursday, the second day of the trial, in place of the usual news placards which all newsboys display the placard of the St. James’ Gazette read:

Wilde has been making immense sums of money lately out of his plays and books. His plays are now running at two London theaters, and many companies are playing them in the provinces. Of course, in the future no one will accept his plays. George Alexander, proprietor and manager of the St. James’ Theater, said last night 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 stop it at once. Therefore, unless the theater-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. Another of Wilde’s plays, which is now running at the Haymarket Theater, will, after this week, be transferred to the Criterion Theater. The author’s name, in both cases, will be omitted from the bills and advertisements in future.
