John R. Carter encloses a newspaper clipping relating to the affairs of the Congo. He informs President Roosevelt that Parliament has accomplished little of international interest, because of their focus on Augustine Birrell’s Education Bill. Newspapers have been focusing on James Bryce’s appointment as ambassador to Washington, which Carter supports. Carter notes that Secretary of State Elihu Root’s request for coal supplies on the Potomac was quickly fulfilled.
