Roman Catholic Prelate's Presence at Sagamore Hill Thought to Concern the Philippines.
OYSTER BAY, L. I., July 13.-President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained a large party at luncheon to-day at Sagamore Hill. In addition to Secretary Root and the house guests, the party included Archbishop Farley, John D. Crimmins, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob A. Riis, James R. Sheffield and Frederick W. Holls, all of New York, and Judge Brentano and A. W. Cooley, recently appointed a Civil-Service Commissioner.
It was announced that the visit of Archbishop Farley was prompted by a desire to pay his respects to the President, but as he was accompanied by Mr. Crimmins, who is prominent in Catholic Church affairs, it is quite certain that matters in which both the Church and the Government are interested were discussed.
It is known, in fact, that Catholic questions in the Philippines were considered, the presence of Secretary Root adding materially to a full and free discussion of the subject. The visit of other members of the party was purely social, although Commissioner Cooley had one or two matters of business to bring to the President's attention.
