Might at the Aston House.

OF Nevada, arrived in this city yester-
day from Washington. and went to the
Astor House.

he sent down a message that he should
not be called until IL O'Clock At that
hour an Evening World" reporter sent

this morning his letter OF withdraw II
from the party written to the Chair
mittee. Mr.: Jones said in that letter that
he was still sound on the policy of pro-
lection. but could not longer Identity
himself with the party because OF its
yer. He was against the Democratic
party for the same reason. While he
does not say so. 1t is taken for granted
and so published that he will anil tie
with the Populists In his State and In
Congress.
Senator Jones came downstairs about
noon, and talked very freely with an
Evening World" reporter.
He said that his letter would be ut
terly without effect in his State, az all
his people thought as he did. He would
not say that he would meet In the coun-
ellis OF the Populist party, but would be
with that party, which supported his
views on silver and general financial
reform.
Asked with what caucus he would
meet In the Senate. he said that he had

WILSON GOES ABROAD.
The Father of the Tariff Bill Seeks
Rest and Recreation.


Congressman william l.. Wilson. the
father Of the present Tariff bill. sailed
for England this morning on the Amer
lean liner Paris. He was accompanied
by Congressman and Philanthropist
Isidor Straus, who occupied stateroom
No. 10 on the upper deck. directly OPP
posite No. s, occupied by Mr.. Wilson.
The Congressman, whose part in tar
IN legislation has given him an inter-
national reputation, went directly to
the steamer from Philadelphia this
morning. Despite the fact that he had
just undergone a railroad journey OF
thirty-six hours. Immediately following
fever, Mr.. Wilson looked strong His
eye was clear, his carriage erect, and
there was nothing In his appearance to
indicate a recent severe spell OF sick
ness.
Congressman Straus. who met him at
the gang plank of the steamer said
to an Evening World" reporter:
mi. Wilson looks In good health. but
what II ought to be. A severe mental
strain at this time would be more than
likely. to utterly PROSTATE him. 1t Is
to be hoped that this ocean voyage will
restore him to his normal health"
II am taking this trip to England and
hack" said Congressman Wilson; on
the advice of my physician. who thinks
1t will be the. means of restoring me to
physical health. do not Intend TO
bother myself with politics or anything
else while. ! am away. My sojourn
abroad will be an extremely brief one,
as / mean to sail for this port on Sept.
20. While in England ! may visit the
universities and other places of inter-
est, but whatever l shall do will be with
an eye solely to recreation and rest"
Concerning the tariff. Mr.. Wilson said
he had no later than yesterday mailed
a letter to 1.-THE World" devoted exclu-
sively to that subject, and as the mat
ter contained In that letter fully ex-
pressed his views. he preferred not to
repeat himelf.
In answer to the reporters question
concerning the outcome OF the next
election in West Virginia, where he is
again a candidate for Congress, he said:
Il have never been defeated, and do
not antcpase bseye ms hs
re-elected: but every political cam
paign Is more or less a strain upon one,
and In order to be In shape for the APP
preaching campaign, / think. with my
sirable. hope 1t will prove beneficial
in my case"

have made no plans for the journey.

NO COMPROMISE.
The striking Carpenters Insist that
Humping" Must Cease.

The union carpenters continued their
battle to-day against the dumping
system OF taking and performing con-
tracts and also against prison-made
building materials.
More strikes were ordered to-day by
the delegates appointed for that purpose
by the carpenters unions. and the strlk-
ers gathered in such large numbers at
Progress Hall. St5 Third avenue. that
sidewalk. Wv
Deiegate Frank schutze, of the
brotherhood OF Carpenters and .Joiners
Was on hand with list Of the strikers
and the Jobs they were employed upon
William Coombs. secretary and gem
men to order, and 1t was ascertained
that 1000 men were out on the numerous
buildings visited by the delegates yes
A committee OF eighteen was appoint-
ed last night by the delegates to aid in
conducting the strike. and they were in.
stracted to picket all the Jobs and re-
port any new men who might be en-
knged by the sub-contractors. or
Other Jobs will be struck before night
Tall, and II was said at Progress Hall
that fully 1900 carpenters and Joiners
would be on strike against the flump-
Ing system before the close OF this week.
The Board of Delegates of the bniid
Ing trades, who meet at l39 East Fifiv-
ninth street, were expected to take some
action in support OF the strikers nv
ordering out union men OF other trades
on Jobs where the sub-contractors re-
fuse to come to the union carpenters'
terms
II was rumored that the bosses and
owners of buildings affected by the
strike were DESTROYS OF meeting a com
mittee of the unions. with View TO a
settlement. but the delegates OF the
carpenters unions declared that nothing
SNORT OF an unconditional nAat.
would be considered; that the strike
was directed against the 'Iumping''
system, which must be abolished be-
fore the men will return to work.

that fellow gave a yell. and men came
running out of the houses, and around
the corners. They called me a 'scab.
and other names, and then pitched In
and thrashed me.
II believe they would have killed me
II somebody hadn't yelled that the police
were coming. There were not any po-
licemen in sight until after the crowd
had run away. Then an officer appeared
and helped me to the police, station.
That Harris had very lively time
there is no doubt. When he was in the
police court. both OF his eyes were
closed, his nose was rapidly swelling.
and there was lump on his head where
he said some one had hit him with
n rock.
TIE point that seemed to interest him
most, however. was that his clothes
were in tatters. As he does not know
the names of any of his assailants, 1t Is
doubtful II he gets n warrant

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The action Of the Stewards In calline
up j. j. McCafferty and asking aues-
tons concerning the two races run BY
Buckrene created no surprise. The
Stewards could not pass the matter by.
1t was too glaring a case to be smoothed
over. McCafferty. 1t is said went before
the Stewards and endeavored to prove
that Buckrene ran faster in the race in
which he was beaten than in that
which he won. The time test Is falla-
cious, as every one knows. Keenan,
works in fast enough time to break
watches. yet he gets beaten in slow run
races. McCafferty is alleged to have
said that Buckrene ran good race from
where he got off. OF course but Il
seems a singular fact that when the
good money is down on any of Nc
Cafferty's horses they never get away
poorly. The matter will probably b
thoroughly reviewed by the Stewards.
While It may be out OF place to criti-
else the action of the Stewards before q
decision has been rendered, the writer
believes that a mistake has been made

seems as though he ran the horse to win.
korn says he backed the horse yester-
day. st, Michael was a notorious eulker

was this fact that caured the firm to get
