President Roosevelt expresses his displeasure with H. E. Miles over recent press coverage regarding a meeting between Miles, Roosevelt, and Illinois Senator Albert J. Hopkins, in which it was reported that the three had reached an agreement about the tariff. Roosevelt points out that Congress must be consulted about the tariff, and therefore Roosevelt thinks it was unwise for Miles to even allude to any conversations he had with Roosevelt on the topic.
