SPEAKER
RULES OUT
QUESTION
0'BrIsn's Query In House Of
Commons Concerning RoOss-
veIt's Letter Causes Excitement

London, oct. 22.--William O'Brien
created great deal OF excitement among
his fellow Nationalists in the house OF
commons today by questioning Premier
Balfour regarding President Roosevelt's
letter to the convention OF the United
Irish league at Boston. Mass.
Mr. O'Brien asked the premier II he
had observed that Mr. Roosevelt sent
letter and whether In view Of future
friendly relations between ths United
States and Great Britain no could make
any announcement that this country was
not indisposed 10 learn wisdom regard
ing Irish affairs from the head OF great
and friendly nation.
The speaker promptly ruled the ques-
tion out OF order. to the evident chagrin
of the Nationalists whose excitement in
creased as Mr.. O'Brien continued TO press
his point.
He urged that this letter OF the presi-
dent was an international fact OF the first
importance to the future OF Great Britain
and that IL would not be a friendly thing
to the head OF n great nation that his
letter should bo treated as III the house
OF commons was disposed TO "avenge an
insult TO the chief secretary Tor Ireland
and his removabes."
The speaker maintained his ruling and
Mr.. OBrien tried 10 move an adjourn
ment OF the house To discuss the matter.
but the speaker ruled that IL was not a
matter OF definite Importance.
Boston. Oct. 22.-Following is the text
OF the letter sent by the Presidents see
rstary to the United Irish League at Its
convention I'm this city:
White House. Washington. Oct. IS.
Dear sir: Your communication or re-
cent date has been received and In re-
ply / would state that while the president
very much appreciates the cordial invita-
ton extended TO him by your league, ne
regrets that his public duties will pre-
vent nim from being present on the oc-
casion TO which you refer.
Owing TO the pressure upon his time,
incident to the preparation OF his annual
message TO congress. he is at present un-
able TO accept any Invitations.
Permit me. In the presidents behalf 70
thank you and through you the members
of your organization for this courtesy.

the contrary, IL is confidently expected
that the prices OF fuel will fall TO approx

Accordingly the committee would advise

strongly advise that no emergency sub

established relief-giving agencies will be

The committee also COmmendS the
course OF those manufacturing establish

ployers OF labor. in supplying their own
employees with coal at the lowest possible
prices during the recent scarcity. such
an enlightened policy Is distinctly encour-

On Monday, October 13, 1902. In the Of
fee OF President Faunce of Brown uni
versity, a conference OF about 20 persons
prominently identified with the leading
charitable societies OF Providence was
held for the purpose OF considering the
local situation with reference TO the
problem of supplying the poor Of the city
with fuel.
After frank and full discussion 1t
trail committee representing the several
societies participating In the conference.
instructed at It's discretion to appeal to
the public for an emergency fuel fund.
TO be used In helping the poor to obtain
fuel under the direction OF said central
committee. on the general plan approved
by the said conference.
Tho committee was therefore chosen
as follows: President Faunce. represent

man and Mr. Mcguire as secretary, and
then adjourned. subject TO call.
Called together on this day, Tuesday,
