LONDON, May 21. -- The Marquis of Queensberry and his younger son, Lord Alfred Douglas, had an exciting quarrel in Piccadilly, while that thoroughfare was crowded, this afternoon. They were both arrested, charged with a breach of the peace, and were released on bail.
The fashionable afternoon promenade in Piccadilly was well filled with aristocratic spectators today when the Marquis met Lord Douglas of Hawick, near the corner of Bond street. A few words were passed between them and then there was a brief but determined conflict. The police immediately separated the combatants and took them both to the police station. Lord Douglas' countenance was disfigured with a black eye. Neither the father nor the son preferred a charge against each other, so they were merely charged with disorderly conduct. They will be arraigned in the Marlborough street police court tomorrow. On leaving the police station, Lord Alfred Douglas walked quickly to Regent street and took refuge in the friendly shelter of a cab.
