MARQUIS SON VINDICTIVE.
The Leader publishes an interview
with Lord Douglas, of Hawick. in re-
lation to the Wilde scandal. Lord
Douglas says: Myself and every
member of the family, except father.
disbelieve entirely all the charges.
We think them simply part of the
persecution father has carried on
against us as long as L can remember.
and that Mr.. Wilde and his counsel
are to blame for not showing, as they
could have done, that that was the
fact"
The Morning says that Wilde re-
ceived the notification of his arrest
with languid nonchalance, plaintiveIy
asking whether he would be allowed to
furnish bail. When accompanying the
detective who made the arrest he took
under his arm a copy of the yellow
Book" When he arrived at Scotland
Yard he asked whether he would be al
lowed a private cell, and whether he
would be allowed to smoke. When the
charge was read to him, accusing him
of indecencies with male persons on
March %, 1885, and divers other dates,
he smiled and requested that the dates
be repeated
The Chronicle says editorially: 1T
suftices for us to know, as some re-
turn for undamning the putrid stream,
that our life is rid forever of a pestifer-
Gus poseer decadence which has re-
ceived its death blow, and the way is
oIa
in life. We seem for some unhappy
hours to have been shuddering Wit
nesses of bastard revival of society
under the late Roman empire, or
against the dark background of tho
Italian renaissance"
