Washington, Oct 7.-George Dewey,
 Admiral of the American Navy, does
 not. believe that the institution of which he lis the chief officer, is a 1 -sblufr' and is confident that it would render good account of itself in any scrfrnrnage in which it was called up- on to take part He is also strongly fn favor of subsidizing a merchant marine in order that it may furnish lauxiliaries for the navy in time Of heed.
 ! ..eWnen exICongressman Landis us- led the word bluff in connection with tthe American Navy" said Admiral ! Dewey today to United Press re- kpresentative, referring to the speech fnade by Mr Landis in Cincinnati, he Eused an unfortunate word. Of course the meant that the navy was com tparatively useless in time of war flare, unless auxiiiaries are drawn from 1.-the merchant marine. He wants a Esubsidy for our ships of commerce land so do I. And believe that we could get it and build up strong mer- lchant marine if it were not for the Euse of the word Subsidy. Many peo- [ple do not like that, thinking that lit means to give something for noth- Ter. President NTaft put it in a good way when he urged that the ships. should be paid for carrying the mails ~ "But the American navy is not quite so helpless as one might imagine from lMr. Landis remarks. We have fifteen icolliers and several transports already Fin the service. Of course these would knot be enough in time of war and I Ehope that we shall continue to add Ito their number. But one can do most anything with money and if we twere to have war we could purchase las many ships as we might need. We fdfd so in the Spanish war. bought 1.-two myself.

Mark Twain in the scarlet gown and cap used when the degree or doctor or literature was conferred upon nm py Oxford University, chatted in semi humorous way, yesterday of the we'd ding of his talented daughter. Clara Clemens to Gabrilowitsch, the Russian pianist.

 'eYes. fully as much as any mar riage could please me or any other father" he replied. 'There are two or three tragically solemn things m life and a happy marriage is one of them, for the terrors of life are all to come. A funeral is a solemn office, but I go to them with a spiritual up- lift. thankful that the dead friend has been set free. That which follows IS to me tragic and awful-the burial. am glad of this marriage. and Mrs Clemens would be glad, for she al ways had a, warm affection for Cab rilowitscn.

HINCKS BROS. SCENT DROP
 IN R. STOCK
Local Brokers Send Circular Letters Showing Failure of Railroad for Two Years to Earn It's Dividends.
Doubt that 8 Per Cent. Div idend Can Be Continued on Increased Capitaliza- tion of $4O,O0O,OOO

"As we have previously shown the probable value of this stock will not be much over $l6O after the new capi- tai has been paid in.'' In this language Hincks Bros, & Company, bond deal CTS, of this city, predict startling drop in the value of stock of the New Haven Railroad Company whose stock in the pastsseven or eight years has shown a remarkable falling off from the price that it once brought.
 This letter which has been received by many stockholders of the company in this city, was read with alarm, for the reason in part that the stock of the company has recently shown a remarkable drop from prices that 1t formerly brought, although the divi- dend has not been cut.
 The foregoing prediction is made in circular letter addressed to the company's customers, dealing with the stock of the railroad company and the probable value of the rights to sub scribe to the new issue.
 Says the letter:
 For the past two years the com pany has failed to earn the full per cent. upon it's stock by about 2.6 per cent, in 1908 and by about one half per cent in 1909. The plain figures taken from the company's reports fol- lows:
 "Income applicable
 to dividends s5,2e6,57o s7,4so, ,2s2
 percent per cent. A a.7ss,2sa s7,sss,s4s
 "Deficit, s2,51e, ,692 $ 453, ,61s
 s'Under such circumstances the iQues- tion becomes very pertinent as to whether the road can continue the present rate on an increased capitali- zation? The position of those who doubt it is strengthened by the fact that the bulk of the increased capital is to be expended, not in new mileage or other definitely known revenue producing expansion, but in an ex- pansive transformation of motive pow is as vet such an experimental stage that an accurate veridct on it's value cannot be pronounced. Aside from making travel more pleasant for pas sengers, however and therefore con- ducing to an increase in passenger revenue, it is not generally thougnt that the new motive power will pro duce much better results than steam. '
 The letter then makes allusion to the statement by President Mellen that it is the hope and expectation" ot the road to pay full 8 per cent, divi. dends upon the increased capital stock, and concludes with the state ment that it's figures upon the value of rights are necessarily, being in ad- vance of the market, theoretical. The value of rights, as given in the let ter starts at $10, upon the assump- tion that the stock will be quoted at 175 and drops to $8. upon the as sumption that the stock will be quot ed at $165, when the new stock is issued.
 In Wal1 street yesterday New Haven stock was quoted at S170 a share.
