SAY PARKER is IN ERROR.
Taylor. Acting Secretary Of the Treas
ury, Makes a Statement.
lBv the Associated Press

Washington. Oct. 24.-H. A. Taylor,
acting Secretary of the Treasury today
issued the following statement:
THE attention of the department
has been called to the statement twice
made by Judge Parker that there
have been administration orders Tor
bidding the publication of information
concerning governmental eXpendi-
lures. This is a mistake. The only
order issued concerning estimated eX-
penses was that no subordinate should
make any estimates public until the
heads of the departments had gone
over them with the president and
they had been approved. Before MI.
Parker had made his second state
ment in reference TO an order to with
hold information the Postotfice, In
ternal and Agricultural Departments
and District Of Columbia had made
and published their estimates. The
estimates from the other departments
will be given out in the ordinary
course of business, as soon as they
are made and approved, just as they
have been in previous years. me
practice of the departments in this re-
spect has not been in any manner
departed from this year.
"Mr. Parker says further that for
! the first two months of the present
fiscal year the expenses exceeded the
receipts by twenty-four millions OF
| dollars, and adds:
! "'How much more we have run
| behind since l am not able to state,
| because the public has been denied
all information pending the campaign.
This is q very remarkable state
ment, and Judge Parker must have
said it en- the spur of the moment
without reflection. He surely knows
that the Treasury issues and publishes
a daily bulletin each day and a month
| ly bulletin each month giving the re-
ceipts and expenses by the day and
month, and that these bulletins are
regularly published in all the leading
papers of the country. For instance
the bulletin of October 20, the day
before the judge made the speech re-
ferred to, showed the deficit I'D to
that day, from July 1st, to be $780,
336,542 a decrease of about four mil
lions of dollars during September, and
up to October Goth. Should this rate
Of increase of receipts over expenses
continue, as is quite certain the deficit
of July and August, so alarming tC
the judge, would be wiped out during
| the year.

Will be Rare.
lBv the Associated Press }

Boston. Mass, Oct. 24.-An agree
ment on the divorce question was
reached to-day by the House of Bish-
ops and the House of Deputies Of
| the Episcopal General Convention
after many days of discussion. The
section of the canon bearing directly
on the remarriage of divorced persons
which was amended by the Bishops
sunday was assented to by the Dep
| uties to-day and becoming effective
also, permits the re-marriage of in
nocent party in divorce for adultery
one year after the granting of a di-
VOrce upon the presentation of salts
factory evidence and provides that il
shall be within the discretion of any
minister TO decline to SolemniZe any
marriage.
The Bishops read a section referring
to the administration of sacramente
providing that if q clergyman shall
have reasonable cause TO doubt Wheth-
er a person has been married "other-
wise as the word of God and discip-
line of this church allow" such clergy
man shall refer the matter to the
Bishop before administering the sac
raments. The Deputies had made an
exception on the innocent party d.
vorced on the ground of adultery"
who had remarked but the Bishops
was accepted by the House of Depu-
ties to-day.
Leading churchmen expressed the
opinion that the restrictions upon the
remarriage of an innocent party to
divorce are so stringent that the re-
marriage of divorced persons will be
rare i'm the church hereafter.

iected, after long debate a resolution
given by Rev Il. Talbot Rogers. of
Fond Du Lac, Wis, to strike out the
words protestant Episcopal on the
