BANKER CLEWS
In His Talk al Yale He Says That ille PeSsimiSt is Abroad
 in the Land.

New Haven, Nov 1.-Before the members of Professor William B. Bailey's class in political economy at Yale this morning, Henry CIews, the New York banker, delivered a short address to the students, in which he said in part: "The pessimist is abroad in this fair land of ours in these days, preaching the gospel of discon- tent, and a favorite text is that the young man has no show or little chance to get on in life. Do not be mlslead or discouraged by such false doctrine. There never was time when brains were at a greater prem- 1um than at present. nor courage, education, industry and energy mora requisite or in greater demand The harder you have to struggle to com- plete your education the better you will be fitted for the battles of life. Disappointments may embarrass you. but you must conquer them instead of them to conquer you. Every victory thus won will be an incentive to further efforts and achievements and will provide a stepping stone to success

On n New Phase.

Berlin. Nov 1.-The Harden Moltke case has entered on a new phase. The states attorney has de- cided to bring suit against Herr Har- den, editor of Die Zukunft, before a bench of five judges. This decision apparently is due to the widespread opinion that General Count Von Moltke was hardly dealt with in last weeks trial of the suit for libel against Herr Harden. It also de- notes a complete reversal of the at titude of the states attorney, who originally had refused to bring suit against Herr Harden at General VOn Moltke's instance, leaving the latter to take priva.e action on his own account

BOARDS BUSY WEEK.
Making Estimates for the Several
 Departments.

The different boards have now been heard from regarding estimates for 1908. with the exception of the department of finance. where they will all be reviewed and trimmed be- fore going to the aldermen. The next question will be with reference to the size of the grand list. It jumped about three millions last year, but it is not likely to take such a large in- crease this time. but it will be larger than ever before. It is understood that the board of finance will refuse to make the rate of taxation more than 15 mills and some think it should be kept below this if possible.

THE JAPANESE MAILS
China'S Refusal of tbe Imperial Railway Sends the Jap 10
 Chinese Posts. .

Pekin, Nov. 1.-Japan to-day be- gan entrusting the transportation of the Japan-Pekin mails to the care of the Chinese posts, which is an out come of China's coercive action in re- fusing Japan the use of the imperial railways for her mail couriers. China's action was induced by Japan s postal aggressions, her independent post office service in China having been trebled in two years and also to Frances attempted re-establishment of couriers from Yunnan, where the 1ndo-China post has been operated since 1901. It is yet uncertain if France will withdraw her Indo-China post couriers, who have been operat- ing since fortnight ago.
 The Chinese are alarmed at the undertaking, correlated aggressions of Japan and her allies and many Chinese believe that Japan is China S prime menace.

TROUBLES OF CONTRACTORS.
Want to Know Who Pays When They
 Figure and Lose.

If you employ man to figure on a building and he does not get the job can he collect anything for his time? This is a question which man who has been asked to settle an account of that kind would like to know, but the chances are that he will have to pay somebody to get the information. It isn't customary, but the contractor who is seeking payment for such work claims that when a person comes to him for figures he employs him to do work that costs something and that he cannot afford to spenu day look ing over plans and making up estim- ates for nothing. That looks all right, but just the same it is done every day in the week. Men come here. from all parts of New England to bid on work, but when they lose, as they often do they have never claimed anything for their time.

SPELLED THE PORT
Crews of Three Russian Vessels Also Hoisted theI Red 
 Flag.

St Petersburg, Nov 1.-According to the official report of the recent mutinous outbreak of sailors at Vladiyostok, the crews of three tor pedo boat destroyers, the Skory, Serdity and Treyotshny, mutinied, hoisted the red flag and shelled the port, doing considerable damage to buildings and killing some soldiers and civilians. The Skory, on board of which were three revolutionary agitators, including one woman, took the lead in the mutiny, the crew killing the commander of the boat and wounding tho other officers, who were confined below decks. The fire of the rebeilious torpedo boat de- stroyers was answered by the batter lies ashore and from the gunboat landjour and the torpedo boat de-
 royers Grosovoy, Smelly and oth- $. They surrounded the Skory and poured raking fire into her, which battered her to pieces, exploded her two boilers and caused fire to break out on board. Nearly all the mu- tineers of the Skory were killed on the vessel. The three or four sur vivors sprang into the sea.
 The mutiny or board the Ire votskny was quelled by her own. crew after six of the, mutineers had oeen killed and six wounded.

USUAL DIVIDEND
Railroad Directors Meet and Later Inspected Work at
 Freight Terminal.

Philadelphia, Nov 1.-The board of directors of the Pennsylvania railroad met at 9:30 o'clock this morning and declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 31a per cent. The meeting was called at an early hour to enable the board to leave for an inspection of the work on the freight terminal at Greenville, N. J., and of the facilities on Long Island.
 In answer to an inquiry about the possible requirements of the Penn sylvania Railroad Go for 1908, Pres ident McCrea said that in view of the unsatisfactory outlook for rais- ing new capital in 1908, it was in his judgment prudent for the com pany to continue it's policy of not be- ginning any new work or commit ting the company to any capital re- quirements except those absolutely necessary to economically handle its traffic. The Pennsylvania Railroad Go would undoubtedly restrict it's needs to minimum and would not push it's work on the New York tun- nel extension or other uncompleted improvements as vigorously as had been done in the past.
 This will somewhat delay the con- pletion of the New York tunnel as a whole, but progress on the East river tunnel, the erection of steel for the new terminal building in New York and work affecting the city streets and avenues will not be materially retarded.
 At 10 o'clock the directors and of ficials of the company left for New York.
 The announcement as to retrench- ments came somewhat as surprise in view of the statement issued from President McCrea's office on Wednes- day that the present earning of the company arc II per cent greater than they were at the same period last year.
 Rumor had it that the directors intended to cut the dividend or pay the usual dividend in scrip. There fore considerable interest attached to the meeting. The directors, how ever, were in session not more than fifteen minutes and at it's conclusion the secretary laid all rumors at rest by stating that the usual dividend would be paid in the usual way
 The company to-day departed from it's usual practice and made public it's monthly statement before the, stock exchanges closed. The statement for September of the lines east of Pittsburg directly operated shows an increase in the gross earn ings for SeDtember compared with the same month last year of $1,- 391, ,000; increase in expenses of $1,- S5S,000, and decrease in net earn ings of $467,000 The increase in the net earnings for the nine months ending September 30, compared with the same period last year, is $60S,- 300.
 Lines west of Pittsburg and Erie, directly operated, show the following results for September: Gross earn ings, increase, $S59,7O0; expenses, incrase, $797,100; net earnings, in crease, $62,600; net earnings for nine months, increase, $1,671,100.
 It is learned that the statement for the six months out of which the dividend will be paid, shows a net surplus after all charges and dividends ot more than $S,500,- 000
