ARMSTRONG, LL.B., PRINCIPAL New York, Dec. 17. Tho scheme to shorten tho mall service between Now York nml London by a postofllco"nt Montauk Point at tho end of Long Is land, n now olectrio road from tho point cnpablo of speeding from 00 to 100 miles nn hour, and a now tunnel under tho East River to givo nn en trance to Lower New York nml tho vaults of tho general postofllco, has been revived. While there- is littlo likelihood of tho project being carried out immediately, it is known that steps toward its consummation bavo been taken by tho Manhattan Transit com pany. This company recently ac quired a controlling interest in nn au tomobllo line, which runs tourists' ex cursions about Now York city. It is further announced that it has obtained n controlling interest in tho Now York and Brooklyn Tunnel Itnilroatl compa ny, Tho latter has a charter to dig n tunnel under tho East river, with a terminus below tho New York postof flee, and to run trains. Tho company has not yet fully decided upon its plans, but it is said to bo its intention to put through tho scheme outlined above. If it ba carried to a success ful conclusion, incoming vessels carry ing foreign mails will bo met by" light ers, tho foreign mnils will bo taken off, sent ashoro to the wniting special secured hero and there, and big stocks of showily bound and catchily illus trated works aro carted in. Tho win dow's nro filled up with these, tho rod flag is put out and tho salo goes on day and night. Thousands of such books nro sold to persons who aro fond of books but don't know much about them. Uniform sets of standard au thors go at 50 to 75 centB a volumo sometimes less, nnd hugo quartos with numerous full-pago plates, fnncy bor ders nnd gilt bindings fetch from n couplo of dollars to five. Tho bookB aro occasionally remnants of editions which hnvo not sold well, but usually they aro of a vintngo cooked up for this special market. Tho plates aro reproductions of standard illustra tions used in lino editions. Tho letter press is often from electro typo plates that hnve seen their best days, nnd tho bindings nro cunning reproductions in cloth of specially designed,, covers that have outlived thoir proud moroc co epoch.

When tho city adminis tration wns attnekod by nowspapers known to bo unfriendly to it for tho settling of tho lighting companies' $5, 000,000 bill and making n now contract there wns n gonorul disposition to up hold tho city authorities in breaking tho long deadlock over prices and pre venting costly litigation. As tho as saults continued, however, it beenmo evident that tho city's interests had not been conserved as they should havo been by tho nlleged secret deal with the trust; it was shown again that tho city is paying outrageously high prices for its lights, nnd tho city administra tion is now being assailed from many qunrters for its compromise with tho lighting companies. Tho City Club, for instance, is demanding that Mayor Mo- Clellnn investigate tho settlement and now contract mado by Commissioner Oakley. It points out thnt tho prices paid various electric light companies in 68 other American cities for supplying theso cities with 2000-cnndle power lnmns is on an avornco of $88.00 per lamp a year, whllo in tho borough of !

Govornor Odell 15 among the Repub lican leaders who are so much encour aged by tho figures of tho New York city vote in tho Presidential election that they are talking of electing a Re publican mayor. Whllo ho declines to talk for publication, ho has' from timo to timo so oxprcssed himself to his friends. Tho governor bollovca that it has been a mlstuko to keop the Repub lican organization in tho background year aftor year in tho mayoralty fight. Ills view is that a straight Republican city ticket could win any time when it is what is known as nn "off year" in Tammany when tho voters havo de cided for somo reason that the organi zation must bo beaten. Ho feels tho Republican organization always against Tammany should then como into what politicians term, "its own," Mr. Odell may carry out his plan to name a straight-out Republican mayor alty condidato, but it is difficult to seo how ho can succeed in that effort, as the Citificna' Union and independent Democrats are unalterably opposed to a straight Republican ticket.
