OBJECTS TO Il" PLANS.
Prepared Routes Said to affect
MetropoLtan's Proposals.

An official of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company said last night that John B. Mcdonald
had indicated that the adoption OF new elevated
routes would seriously modify his proposals for
building new tunnels. Our company's tenta-
tive plans" said he, were based on the common
understanding that no more elevated routes
were TO be laid out in New-York City, and that
the Board Of Rapid Transit Commissioners was
committed 10 the construction of municipality
owned subways, rather than to the improve
ment of private property owned in perpetuity.
The adoption Of new elevated routes in ID
ave, 3d-ave., the Bowery, Park Row and from
Chatham Square to the Battery, will radically
alter the aspect of the subway construction
and may in the end postpone indefinitely fur
Their transit improvements.

KING SEALS WAR PORTS.
Closes Them to Foreign Fighting Ships
in Retaliation OF Norway.

The Swedish government has issued
a proclamation to all nations declaring
the ports of Stockholm, KarIskrona, Go
thenburg and Farosund to be ''war
ports" and closing them to all foreign
warships. The proclamation goes into
effect at once. The move is a precau-
ton against surprise from the Norwe
gian navy while the Swedish fleet IL
away on it's maneuyers. With the ports
closed to all except Swedish warships
the forts will have authority to fire on
any Norwegian warships attempting to
enter on any pretext whatever.
The closure also will enable the navy
department to carry out, unobserved by
foreign naval officers, its plan for the
defense of Sweden's harbors in the event
of war with Norway. Popular feeling
in Sweden against Norway is growing
more intense. Those who a few weeks
ago secuted the war idea now admit the
possibility of a conflict.
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is
defended by a series of forts which guard
the torturous entrance to the harbor.
Gothenburg, the chief commercial city of
the kingdom lies four miles up river
Karlskrona, situated ON several islands
at the southeast corner of Sweden, is the
Swedish naval base. Sweden has there
one of the finest navy yards in Europe
and strongly defended. Farosund, an
island port in the Baltic. would be valu-
able to Norway as base for operations
against the Swedish coast.
The Norwegian army, made up of
local militia organizations for defense
purposes, numbers 10000 men. It's indie
pendent navy heretofore employed ex-
clusively in coast defense work, includes
four ironclads, four monitors, twenty
gunboats and several torpedo boats. The
council of defense in Norway does not
fear war, but has put its land forces
quietly in condition for active service.
1t has provided new national flag and
made other changes in laws to cover new
conditions

1T GRlNDS EXCEEDINGLY SMALL.
Postoffice Department Slow and Thor.
ough as Mill of the Gods.


The Post Office Department is pom
derous and impressive at times. A man
arriving in Boston recently wrote to
man in teW York. The instant after
dropping the letter in the mail box he
remembered that he had forgotten to
stamp the envelope, so he wrote to the
postmaster in Boston, telling him about
it and inclosing a stamp.
The postmaster had meanwhile sent
a notification to the New York add
dress informing him in the language
of the department blanks that an I'M
stamped letter awaited his pleasure in
Boston and that it would be forwarded
on receipt of a 2-cent stamp; other
wise it would be held for two weeks
and sent to the dead letter office. The
letter also contained detailed instruc-
tons as to the exact methods of in
closing the stamp if one should be sent.
The New York man wrote to the
Boston postmaster and inclosed a
stamp, as requested. The next mail
brought a letter from the Boston post
office not to send the stamp previously
asked for, because the writer of the
letter had already sent one, which had
been duly affixed to the luckless and
stampless envelope, which would now
be forwarded.
The next link in this exciting chain
of post office incidents was the ar
rival of the letter itself. This was
followed by another danartmoo+ doom
ment from Boston and the return of
the New York mans postage stamp.
The man who got the letter figured
that it had cost the writer cents,
himself cents and the writing of six
letters on the part of the writer, the
post Office and the man who received it.
The letter contained the interesting
information that the writer had ar
rived in Boston.
