 Wilson To Go Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. Chairman Wilson will probably take a trip to Europe soon after congress adjourns. He has invitations to take trip up the lakes and another to cross the ocean and he is inclined toward accepting the lat ter, as it gives greater prospects of re- cuperation. He wants to be back be- fore September closes to begin his cam paign in West Virginia. His health, however, will not permit vigorous stumping tour. Mr. Wilson; it is said, has received no intimation as to what will be done with the tariff bill. He is confident, however, the bill will become law, and he inclines to the belief that it will become effective without Presi- dend's signature. In this event congress cannot adjourn before next Tuesday.
