St. Clair McKelway describes to President Roosevelt a conversation he had with Rear Admiral Albert Smith Barker, who was very pleased with the appointment of Captain Charles E. Clark to represent the United States at King Edward’s coronation. Barker also commented on Roosevelt’s intended action regarding the Sampson-Schley controversy.
