LONDON, April 6.-With the Wilde
Queensbury and Russell vs.. Russell cases
in the court, the burning to death of a
woman in Ireland under extraordinary
circumstances by her husband and other
relatives, on the ground that she was be-
witched, the shooting of girl by her
lover in the streets of London and the
mans 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 it sufficiently to refrain from
lecturinc the United States.
The Daily Nelcs 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 con.
versation at the clubs, etc. The stand
taken by the st. James Gdzette, in refus-
ing to print the details of the case, is at
tracing much attention, and the paper
has been deluged with letters of approval.
The action of the st. James Gdzette is
likely to prove a good stroke of business
for the proprietors of that publication.
On Thursday last, the second day of the
trial, in place of the usual large placards
which all newsboys display, the placard of
tho 50. James Gazette was: "The only
paper in London with no details of the
Wilde case"
Edward NJ. Carson, Q. c. M. p, who SO
ably and relentlessly conducted the case
for the Marquis of Queensbury, was a
classmate of Oscar Wilde at Trinity COLI
lege, Dublin. The presiding judge. jus
tice Collins, is also an Irishman. 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, the proprietor of the
ST. James theater, stated last night that il
it were not for the fact that the with
drawal of Wilde's play. "The Importance
| of Being in Earnest" would throw 120
persons out of employment he would at
once stop it. Therefore, unless the thea
ter-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 Hay.

transferred to the Criterion. The authors
name, in both cases, will be ommitted
from the bills and advertisements in the

The mining market has been excited by
a telegram from the Earl of Fingall an.
nouncing the collapse of the Londonderry
gold mine, in which Colonel North, the
''nitrate king" is interested. The pc
culiar part of the affair is that insiders
have been selling heavily for several days.
The decline represents loss of So, 500 ,0JC

The movements and concerns of Will

common property in London as Londoners
would like. Mr.. Astor has built for him
