Official Statement of Case.
8:03 p. m. An official statement was Is
sued by the Foreign office this evening a
follow1:
The Foreign office has been in communi
cation with representatives of the fishing
industry at Hull and Grimsby and has ob

nected with the attack during the night of

this Information have been addressed to
the Russian government and it has been
explained that the situation Is one which
In the opinion of his majesty's government
docs not admit of delay.
Tha afternoon newspapers print every de
tail and rumor connected with the firing on
th fishing fleet undsr flaring headlines.
Ths Pall Mall Gazette, under the caption,
"It. Was On Trafalgsr Day," atates that
tha attack coincided with the anniversary
of that battle and aptly voices th general
opinion ss follows:
"The phenomenon of a sudden panic, es
pecially at night, is well known. It is a
temporary Insanity which may selie even
veteran soldiers and sallos In peaceful
traffic, on the high seas, and consequently
Is to be treated as such. Tha British gov
ernment, however, cannot run the risk of
the repetition of an outrage which might
send a big liner full of men, women and
children to the bottom of the sea. It Is pos
sible for the British government to give
orders that for the rest of Its voyage th
Russian squadron phall ba accnfannnieri mnA
shepherded by Erltlan warships, whose duty J
11 win r.e to steady the nerves of the Rus
sian admiral by a clear Intimation that the
first shot fired at a British vessel would bo
regarded as an act of war. Not only must
Rusela make an humble apology, but Eng
land must employ the material force of It
sea power to provide that there b no
fepetitlon of this Intolereblo pffens.

LENOX, Mass., Oct. 24. Sir Mortimer
Durand, the British ambassador, said today
concerning the attack of the Russian squad
ron upon the British fishing vessels:
It seems a deplorable accident, which, of
course, will be cxp'.aJried.
Ambassador Durand up to 10 o'clock to
day had received no official dispatches con
cerning tho matter.
"Having no official Intelligence," said th
ambadi-ador, "I really cunnnt permit myrelf
to discuss so serious a matter when wholly
Ignorant of the facts and of the feeling In
England. It seems a deplorable accident,
which, of course, will be explained.
"Such a condition was wholly Unforeseen.
I positively must refrain from discussing
Its diplomatic effects and censequenrex. It
Is not at all likely that I shall receive ad
vices on this matter at once, as It Is net
the custom of the home' office to cable Its
Embassadors on matters not directly re
lating to their posts."
Remiss "hl Off Cherbourg.
CHERBOURG. France, Oct. 24. Tho ad
vance guard of the Russian Second Paclflo
squadron, consisting of torpedo boats. Is
In. the outer harbor. The main squadron
Is expected here, but It Is not yet certain
whether the warships will enter the harbor.
The vessels which first arrived here were
not with the larger ships when the 'latter
fired on the British fishing boats In the
North ea Saturday morning. Therefore
It is not yet possible to obtain the Russian
version of the affair. .
The Russian torpedo boats are surrounded
by guard boats and the utmost vigilance
la maintained. No person Is permitted to
approach them and no person is allowed
to. come ashore, except the postman. The
beat;, are furnished with wireless telegraph
equipment. They took on provisions from
the transport Corea. During last night and
this morning the vigilance was redoubled,
owing to thefears of Japanese ships being
In the channel. Three Russian torpedo
boats and tne transport Cores, header! out
(o sea during the day, probably for the pur
pose of communicating with the main
squadron.
The newspapers here report that the tor
pedo boats received a wlrelesi telegram
from the Russlun flagship yesterday even
ing warning their commanders to exer
cise extra vlgllarco as 1'. was feared that
a Japanese attack might be made upon
th squadron while In the channel.
Say Gone Were Slnrnals.
3 p. m. Th large ships of the Russian
squadron had not arrlvedliere up to the
time of filing this dispatch. It was believed
that they have gone or. westward, Intending
to stop either at Brest or at Vigo, Spain.
Th only torpedo boats which proceeded
with the squadron put In here and three
of thesa. It now develops, proceeded on
their voyage at 10 o'clock this mornlnR.
Three others remain in the outer harbor
taking on coal from the Russian collier
Kltoy.
The Russians already here claim that
their Squadron waa navigating through a
tblck fog the night of October 21-22 and
fired their guns in neutral waters for the
purpose of keeping In touch with each
other. -
The Russians here appear not be aware
that any British fishing boats were hit.
They declare that no fishing boata were
unk and add that th torpedo boats re
ceived a signal from Admiral Rojestvtnsky
to be on th lookout, a the admiral feared
there were Japanese ships In the channel.
Th commander of the Russian torpedo
boata Bays ha doea not know . anything
about the incident of the fishing boats.
Two divisions of tha Russian squadron
are observed in mldchannel, steaming west
ward It is said they will coal at sea.
Four Russian torpedo boats and a Rus
sian transport aalled thla evening. There
Is no longer any Russian vessel In this
port
Germans Call It a Blander.
BERLIN, Oct. 24. "A prodigious blun
der," is tha German official verdict upen
the attack of the Russian second Pad tic
squadron on the British fishing fleet. It Is
assumed that the Russian government will
make reparation Immediately after receiv
ing the otnolal report, which will be tele
graphed from some Frenah port probably
today. Tha excitement in Great Britain is
regarded here as being fully Justifiable, but
the British cabinet, it is believed, will take
tho view that the deplorable affair waa the
fault of rash officer.
Oerman naval officers refer to the Inci
dent evidence ttiat tho Russian squadron
is budiy officered. '
Roiilm Officers Nervous.
. NEW YORK, Oct. ir-Ttia Danish paper
state- that the Rusblan officers showed
much nervousness during the passage, of
the Second Pacific squadron through the
narrow Danish waters, says a Times dis
patch, from Copenhagen. It is declared
they were afraid of striking Japaneas
mine.
It waa not believed in Copenhagen that
any danger existed, especially in view of
the precautions taken by tho Danish au
thorities. Even In the smallest provincial
towns every traveler and foreigner was
watched with vigilance.
Effect on 'Chang;.
, Considerable apprehension existed In stock
market circles at the opening today over
possible developments resulting from the
roported attack pf Russia's Baltic fleet
upon, tha -Kriliih fishing flotilla In ths
North sa. Price ran oX at the outlet
from a (mall fraction to a full point, and
London, wher pi ice for practically all
American Siock closed lower, was reported
to be selling heavily In this market. Prices
soon made general recovery, however, and
In a number of Instances went higher than
tit Saturday's close, and the excitement In
thl mut'ket seemed to. have been allayed.
Uanklng house with Important London
connections were in communication with
that center and the consensu of opinion
waa that the North sea incident would be
peedily adjusted to the satisfaction of the
British, government. .
. Following- a brief period of Irrtgularlty
in the car'.y afternoon th market gathered
Increased strength, the principal features
being Ontario A Western and th Pacifies,
chiefly Union Paelric and Southern Paclflo
shares. Th traalng up to the beginning
of the last hour gave promts of approach
ing the high record ct the past week. The
market seemed to Ignore th Russian inci
dent and talk of gold export to Pari
failed to produce any Impression. Thcr
wer unconfirmed rumor from out of towii
of an early aettlemefit of the Northern 80
curltie tangle. Price shaded allghtly to
ward th closa, but the undertone was
strong. , .

Washington Receives Haport.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. Official new of
th aotlor. of th Russian Baltic sua, fleet
la ar'.ug on ItrltUh tubing vessel reached
DAILY BEE: TUESDAY,
Washington today In a cablegram to th
State department from the American consul
at Hull. He recited the facts as stated In
the press dispatches and added that great
excitement prevailed there.
The news was received here with ome-
thlng like dismay, for It excited apprehen
elon that the result might be world-wide
entanglements unless extraordinary tact Is
shown by both the British and Russian gov
ernment officials In dealing with the affair.
In official circles here there Is the strong.
est possible desire to rVvent an-v exten
sion of the present war In the east. Arbi
trary and unreasonable demands on th
one hand and uncompromising spirit on the
other might. It Is believed, backed by an
excited press, cnsjly Involve the twq great
European nations In hostilities, the result
of which would be to call to Russia's sup
port her nil. France, end perhaps develop
an English alliance so far undiscovered to
European, politicians. But as the unfor
tunate Incident was more carefully con.
sldered here, the Impression strengthened
that It wns not one which could defy diplo
matic treatment, particularly In view of the
fact that It Is the consensus of opinion here
that the affair was by no means a premedi
tated attack upon a neutral power, but
rather a blunder terrible but not beyond
reparation by peaceful methods.
Count Casslnl Talk.
Count Casslnl, the Russian ambassador
ha received no official Information on the
subject with the exception of the riews
contained In tho dispatch received by the
State department today from its consul at
Hull. He was unable, therefore, to speak
officially, but In a conversation with a rop
resentatlve of the Associated Press he
said:
W have recently learned that the Jap
anese have teen tremendously active In
tne effort to effect severe damage upon tne
Baltic sea squadron before It readied the
far east. Admiral RojestVensky knew this
and he left home wjth Implicit Instructions,
no auuoi, 10 Keep , me muni -ngiu wnuu
throughout his trip. When this is known it

after the Initial shots had been fired, that
his commanders should have mistaken thein
for vessels hostilely Inclined. Moreover,
the vessels were encountered ot night,
which was the time an attack would prob-
! ! i v hiivn hfnn muri
I am very confident that thinking people
will not make tho blunder of saying thnt
the Russian commanders' intentions really
was to fire upon British fishing vessels.
Fishing vessels themselves are. of course,
harmless. I am equally sure that Admiral
RoJestvensky. when he makes his report,
will have a full and satisfactory explana
tion for what now appears to be a regret

house of bishops and the house of deputies
of the Episcopal general convention, after
many days of discussion. That section of
the canon bearing directly on the remar
riage of divorced persons which was
amended by the bishops on Saturday was
assented to by tho deputies tuday uud be
comes effective at once. It Is as follows:
No minister knowingly, after due inquiry,
shall solemnize the marrlHge of any per
son who has been or is the husband or the
wife of any other pen-on then living, from
whom he or she has been divorced tor any
cause arising after marriage. But thla
canon shall not be held to apply to the In
nocent Dartv in a divorce for adultery; pro
vlded, that before the application for such
remarriage a period of not lens than on
year shall have elapsed after the granting
of such divorce, ana t hat satisfactory evi
dence touching the facts In the case. Includ
ing a copy ot the court's decree and rec
ord, if possible, with suoh proof that the
defendant was personally served or ap
peared In the action, be laid before the
eci' eslRxtloal authority, and such ecclesias
tlcal authority having taken legil advice
thereon, shnll have declared in writing mRi
In his Judgment the case of the applicant
Conforms to the requirements of this canon,
and provided further, thnt It shall be within
the discretion of sny minister to decline
to solemnise any marriage.
Administration of Sacraments.
The bishops adopted an amendment to
section referring to the administration of
sacraments, providing that If a clergyman
shall have reasonable cause to doubt
whether a person has been married "oth
erwlso than as the, word of God and dls
clpline of this church allow," uch clergy'
man shall refer the matter to the bishop
before administering the sacraments. Th
deputies had made an exception In favor
of the "Innocent party divorced" on th
ground of adultery who had reman frd
but tha bishops struck' out tha czoaptlon.
Their action was accepted by the house 01
deputies today.
Leading churchmen expressed th opinion
that the restriction placed upon the re
marriage of an Innocent party to a dlvorc
are so stringent that the remarriage of
divorced persons will be rare In tho church
hereafter. It is understood, however, that
an attempt will be made to have the next
convention specil'.cally declare against re
marriage under any conditions.
The houue of deputies rejected after a
long debate a resolution Introduced by Rev.
B. Talbot Rogers of Fondulacc, Wis., to
strike out the words ' ProUsiant Episcopal"
from the title page of the book of common
prayer.
Both houses havo appointed a Joint com
mit toe to consider the advisability of elect
ing a presiding bishop of the church.
At present the senior bishop occupies this
position and it is claimed that the duties
ure too heavy for an aged diocesan.
The committee will report to tha conven
tion.
Rev. Francis Taitt of Chester, Pa,, wa
today elected assistant bishop of South
Dakota. Many deputies left for horn to
night and the convention will adjourn
finally tomorrow.
Pastoral Letter foe 1907.
In the house, of bishop th bishop of
Dallas wa chosen to prepare the pastoral
letter at the triennial convention In 10OT,
and tho bishop of California and tha bishop
of Vermont were elected to oonsult with

ter. -
Tho report of a special committee ap
pointed early In the session to consider th
subject of lynching wag, with aUmoat unan
imous consent, laid on tha tabi.
A long discussion ensued on a resolution
offered by Rev. Dr. W. R. Huntington of
New Tork, seeking to establish tha n-.ar-ar.nal
. reading .biUe as tuu Ulbie uf tne
church. The resolution provided that be
fore the next convention the question
bIkuU be submitted to the diocese for their
approval. It was finally, voted to put the
wholo matter over until the Richmond con
vention. The deputies elected Rev. Francis
M. Taitt assistant missionary bishop of
South Dakota.

OFFICIAL CORRECTS A CANDIDATE!
Acting laorotary of Treasury Call
Attention to Mlatake of Parker.
WASHINGTON, Oct. I4.-H. A, Taylor,
aotlng secretary of th treasury, toCcy la
sued th fol.owing statement! "Tha at
tention of th department ha ben call.d
to th statement mad by Judge fa,.k-r
that there ha been adm!n.trailju cr
der forbidding the publication of Infor
mation concerning rovo.nmental exjen
dltiu'M. . Thl la a mistake. Mr. 1'a.ker
seems to hav unfortunately acq.lred
from untrustworthy source con.de.aal
mlslnformkCon, 'p. 'dally about th man
agement and condl.lon of th Treasu.y ex
periment, and also about orders Ijaucd to
govern departmental action generally. Xi.a
only order Issued concerning estimated ex
pense waa that no subordinate should
maka any estimate pnbil: ur.tl th head
of the department had gona over them
with th president and thay had baan
approved. lie for Mr. Parker had made hi
second statement In reference to an ordtr
to withbo.d lnformat.on the P0310rf.ce,
Interior . and Agricultural department
and th Dlatrlot of Columbia had made and
published their estimate. The esUmatoi
front th other depar.ment will be given
out In th ordinary course ot butineaj as
soon as they ara made and approved, Juat
as they hav been In previous ye rf. Th
practlco of the department In this respect
has not been in any muniuf departed from
th: year.
"Mr, Parker has evidently been ltd Into
au error on another point. Ht.isemt to
think that th current monthly expense ac
count has some relation to these esti
mates. These estimates hiivu no rela 1 in
whatever to presint expsiue. They slmLly
represent the sums that congies will b
asked to appropriate to meet the expense
of the variou department for the fiscal
year beginning July 1. 15, and ending
June , 19US.
"Mr. Parker tays further that for th
first two months of the (.resent fiscal year
tlie sxpenses exceeded the tcc:lpti by
fCt.OOO.GuO, and adds; 'How much mr we
have run behind sine I am not ub ta
Ul because th public has betu denied
all Information pending th campaign.'
This Is a very remarkable statemar.t, and
Judge Parker must have made It on the
spur of th momunt without rerkothm. Hj
su.ely knows that the tieisury tssut and
publishes a dully bulletin each day unl a
inunthly bulletin ech month, gUlng th
roovlpU and expenditure by th day si.d
mouth (tod that tbese bulletin ar regu
larly published In all th leading paper
of th country. For Instance, tha bul'etln
of Octohr 20. th day before th Judg
made the speech referred to.' howed th
deficit up to that day front July'l. to be
fcO.335.4lS. a decrease of about H.0,0,
during September and up to Octoter 20.
Should this rate ot Increase of receipt
over expenditure continue, a Is qui'
certain, the deficit of July and August. o
alarming to the Judtrc. would be wiped out
during the year. Th student of govern
ment finance understands perfectly that
expenses ar heaviest at the beginning of
the fiscal year, and that a deficit for th
first months Is to be expected and 1 no
evidence that It will continue through th
months to follow.
"If Judge Parker would apply to thi
Treasury department for Informatl .n as
to the me'.licdi of government buslnesi
and the condition of the pub lc finances he
would get prrmpt and accurate informa
tion and avoid the embarrassment of be
ing led Into very palpable errors."
COLORADO MAKES FAST TIME

Contract and Make Good
,. Tarnlu- Record.
BOSTON, Oct. Th armored cruiser
Colotado, built for th United State navy
by William Cramp Son of Philadelphia,
today on hr official trial covered eighty
eight nautical miles In 3:67:07, maintaining
an hourly average speed of 22.26 knot
throughout the run, exceeding the speed
of twenty-two knots called for In the build
ers' contract by mora than a quarter of a
knot. It is thought that tidal corrcotlon
may increaae her average slightly. The
highest speed developed wa 23. SS knots,
and this was maintained for six and six
tenths miles during th homeward run.
Today' performance rates the Colorado
aa th fastest vessel In th armored cruller
class and one of ths fastest in the navy,
the only large American ships that ever
exceeded her speed being the Columbia and
Minneapolis.
The engines worked smoothly and devel
oped an average horse power of 28,000 and
the ponderous twin screws whirled at an
average of 128 revolution a minute and at
times made 130 revolution. Th great ahlp
responded to the slightest' touch on Its
helm. ' '
Th trial was held over the nsual New
England course. Starting off Cap Ann, th
vessel steamed forty-four knots up -the
coast to Cap Porpoise, M., made a bril
liant turn and then atarted on the return
back to Cape Ann.
The weather conditions were perfect. Th
air wa clear, a light wind blew northwest,
while the sea was very smooth
Eight vesselt of th United States navy
were anchored as atakt boata along th
course ...
In tun ing th "figure eight" and other
maneuvering the ship gave splendid satis
faction, particularly In the complete turn,
which she mad In a circle, the diameter
of which wa a little less than twice th
length of the cruiser.
Captain Faulkner, the marine superin
tendent of the builders' shipyard, com
manded the Colorado during the trip.
The official time of the cruiser, will be
determined by a comparison of the figures
announced by the trill board with the
time taken by the observers on the stake
boats.

The Boston Journal has Just completed a
telegraphic canvass of the republican state
chairmen of the country, with the result
that It predicts Roosevelt will receive Sll
electoral votes. The Nebraska state chair
man Is quoted as follows:
There is no auestioh as to the war Ne
braska will vote on the national electors.
Proarect Roosevelt will have a handsome
majority over all. My belief la that the
Watson electors will have a slight lead -over
the Parker electors In the state. Roosevelt
ought to have at least 36,000 majority over
all, In which case he would beat his near
aat onmnntilnr bv better than CO.oDO If the
opposition vote is divided anywhere equally

That confederate money was never taken
seriously Is well Illustrated In th following
story told by the lnte General John H.
Gordon, and which, as far as can be as
certained, has never appeared In print:
One day during a temporary cessation of
hostilities between the opposing forces a
tall, strapping Yankee rode Into the con- ,
federate ramp on a sorry looking old horse
to effect a trade for some tobacco.
"Hullo, Yank." hailed one of a number
of confederate soldiers Jnlling about' on the
grass In front of a tent, "that's a right
smart horss you all got there."
"Think so?" returned tho Yank.
"Yes; whafll you take for him?"
"Oh, I don't know."
"Well. I'll give you 17,000 for him." ban
tered th confederate.
"You go to biases!" Indignantly returned
the Yank; "I've Just paid 110.000 of your
money to have Mm curried." LIpplncott's.
