THE METROPOLITAN CLUB MAKING PROGRESS

McKm, Mead e. White the architects, have been at
work for some time tho plans for the new Met
rOpOan Club, OF Slxtieth-st. and Fifthave., and will
be ready TO advertise for estimates from builders
and carpenters The needed excavations on the site
finished some time ago and the concrete base has
been laid. Tho laying Of masonry will be begun
shortly, aud this will take some time there Is no
immediate hurry for the plans. About fifty sketches
of proposed front elevations have been made and the
best Of these will be laid before the Building Com
mittee OF the club the latter part q this month"; The
kind OF material to be used and the other details about
the new structure are still I'm doubt.
In the meantime there Is little new In the other
affairs Of the club. W. Watts Sherman the secretary
is still Newport and other leading members are also
out OF town. Applications for membership stn como
in, although the season for club activity Is not yet
at hand. When the Board OF Governors meets the
latter part of this month II will have considerable
number Of applications to act on Forty names are
now posted for membership and there will be aces
sons 10 the list before the meeting
Six hundred and seventy men have been elected to
the club, and it seems likely that the number will
reach 900 before spring. The adoption Of plans for
the building aud the work the foundations will
arouse new interest in the organization. Its promoters
have gone too far now not TO push ahead and the
Indications OF VIII attract many more eligible
men TO the club sign Of the interest In the project
is the fact that few have avaled themselves Of the
privilege Of paying their initiation fee in instruments
Nearly all have sent their checks for the entire sum-
$500, being elected. the club has already
ceived comfortable amount OF money.

gether with the cessation OF almost all other fresh

Der, and they have decided 10 do at the requests
f dspcnsary physicians and others who send women

step IS taken in confidence that the benevolent public
will appreciate the necessity OF prolonging the hos
ptallty OF the Creche and will cheerfuly contribute
the additional funds necessary to meet the expense

Kellogg, No. 81 University Place, or to John II. Boyn-
ton, OF the NewYOrk Episcopal Mission society, No

TALL TOWER NEARLY FIyrsHED.

The tower on the new Madison Square Garden has
for weeks been object Of interest TO visitors to the
CITY, and even busy New Workers. generally intent only
on avoiding collisions with other pedestrians and b
ing run over by teams have found time to gaze at IT,
Each new story that put on it seemed 10 be the
last so tall did the tower grow and its present height
far surpasses the general expectation Of what IL would
be. Recently the figure Of Diana, twenty feet high
has been put on the top, Excelsior" is no longer
the motto Of the builders.
The statue has been criticised being out Of pro-
portion to the dimensions Of the tower. At present.
the figure may seem little too large, but the tower
is unfinished. A silk hat which would look well on
man would seem ridiculous on his skeleton. When
the tower has all its ornamentaton the Diana Will not
seem too large especially she Is to be placed on
big sphere which will relieve the slenderness OF tho
structure.
McKim, Mead q White, the architects Of the buih'
ing expected TO have the tower finished by October
IS, but they may be few days late When all Is IN
readiness the tower will be fully Illuminated and .
view OF II in all its glory and beauty viii be given.
The Diana will then be unveiled. She was becom.
ngly clad when mounted but impolite and too curoui
winds anticipated the fkmal dsrObng. Her form hss
been covered anew, and will remain yelled until ts
structure which she surmountS is finished.

THE POSTAL CONGRESS.
HOW ITS MEMBERS WERE ENTERTAINED IN THE
AUSTRIAN CAPITAL.

Washington, Oct. (special.-Coonel Grant the
American Minister to Austria, commenting in a recent
letter the State Department upon the fact that the
next meeting Of the Universal Postal Union Is to be
eld I'm Washington City, describes OF the details
Of the entertainment furnished by the Austrian Govern
ment and the people OF Vienna at the recent Postal
Congress held there, as follows:
"The Blumen Saae, a hall centrally located on
the Park Ring, and devoted at certain seasons OF the
year the display Of flowers and of tropical plants,
was selected as the place for holding the sessions Of
the Congress. such changes were necessary 10
render this building suitable for the reception OF the
delegates were made on generous, not TO say lnXnr
Gus, scale. The commcdious room set aside for the
daily sessions of the Congress, was conveniently fitted
up with desks aud chairs arransed in semi.circular
form, fronting the platform OF the president OF the
Congress, over which was suspended n handsome null
length portrait Of the Emperor 1t presented an ap
pcaance not unlike the Senate Chamber Of tho United
states. The walls were tasefully decorated with
iacs and the coatsofarms OF the different nations
and the floors were neatly, cavpeted Each
cry and such other convenlences as might
tend to contribute to necessares and comforts of the
delegates. Appropriate retiring rooms for committee
work and for council chambers furnished on the same
provided an MISUNDERSTANDING buffet or restaurant
from which light refreshments were served gratnltousy
messenger service was constantly in attendance and
the privilege OF free postage 10 any part OF the world
Of the empire was accorded to tho delegates More
over. the Government was untlrng In its efforts to
promote the pleasure Of the delesaes whom It seemed
their Sojourn at this capital. His Majesty the En-
perOr entertained al the palace the entire Congress
at dinner: opportunity taken to enable them To
enjoy. without expense, the Grand Opera and the Burg
Theatre excursions organized In their interest
the famous Lemmering Pass where q good idea NAV
he obtained OF the wild and picturesque scenery OF
the Austrian Tyrol; TO GaseD presenting peaceful
picture Of Austrian Watering place life and favorite
resort OF ROYALTY 70 Luxembourg Of the Emperor's
summer palaces; to the kahlenburg, with its
manding view Of Vcnna ard the surrounding country
etc. in short nothing could have exceeded the spirit
of hospitality which animated the Imperial and Royal
Government toward the Congress, and II is perhaps
sperfuous TO add that the impression made upon the
delegates both happy and permanent.

COMPLAINTS OF EXCESSIVE CHARGES
A LIVELY TINE AT THE BOARD OF ELECTRICAL
CONTROL.

A LIVELY TINE AT THE BOARD OF ELECTRICAL
CONTROL.
The usual gathering of eectrc-lght lawyers. engi-
neers, officials and stockholders surged around the
table in the Mayors Office yesterday at which the
Board of Electrical Control held one of their semi
occasional meetings. Edward Lauterbach represented
the Subway Construction Company, OF when ne Is
president After Chief Engineer Kearney had reported
that the subways in Warren, Thirty-nInth, walker.
White Grand and State sts, Exchange Place, uni
yersity Place Park Row and Bowling Green had been
completed the proceedings were enlivened by setoo
between ex-Judgc Kelly, the counsel for The East
River Electric Lighting Company, and Mr. Lauteroach
over the old question Of the high rentals which Mr..
Kelly charged the subway Company with exacung
from its tenants for the Of It's ducts. The demand
for yearly advance payments of rents the counsel de-
clared was especially Objectionable. Mr.. Lauteroach
sarcascaly asked Mr. Kelly il all the electrical cor
poratOns were agreed In denouncing the extoruohs Oh
the construction company.
"Non the ex-Judge replied. You have 'buncOed
them into signing an agreement not TO complain, ~
you have been able to crush them into submission"
Mr.. Kelly further argued against the inspection
charges OF Mr.. Lauterbach's company, which ne as
serted were extortonate but had to be paid under the
threat TO cut the wires and destroy the East River
con1pany's business Mr.. Lauterbach cited supreme
Court decisions to show that the Subway Company
had the lawful right to exact yearly advance
nevertheless he was disposed to grant reasonable con-
cessions. Mr. Kelly agreed to pay efourth Of the
subway Company's bill at once and the questions In
VOWED in the dispute were laid over.
Secretary Moss submitted q report showing that all
the pole lines within the district bounded by Eighth
and F1fty-nl sts and Third and Eighth aves had
been removed and except those OF the Fire De
partmcnt which stubbOrnly refused to comply with
