WIDER STREETS FOR LONDON.
COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THE
EXPENDITURE OF MILLIONS.
Plans for Two New Avenues With Surface
and Underground Electric ROads-This
Alone Would Cost $50 900 900
Probably Not Practicable for Years.

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, July 1.-THE royal commits
sion. appointed in February, 1903, to inquire
into the means of locomotion and trans.
port in London has issued its report II
declares that everybody knows that the
existing means are seriously defective
1t adds that improvement is imperatively
necessary in the interests of public health
and convenience, for the prompt trans
action of business, and to render decent
housing possible.
The narrowness of the streets lies at
the root Of the problem Of surface locomo-
ton. The Commissioners recommend the
widening of many important thorough
fares, and what is one of the most striking
points of their whole report is the construc-
ton Of two great avenues, one running
east and west, four and three-quarters miles
long. and the other running north and
south. four and quarter miles long. Each
avenue would be 14O feet wide, with four
tramway tracks on the surface and four
electric railway tracks underground. The
commissioners apparently regard this
somewhat as the counsel Of perfection, at
any rate for the present, for the estimated
cost is from E25,OOo,00O to ESQ 600, 900.
Nevertheless, they strongly urge this plan
II it is found to be financially practicable.
In dealing with tramways the report re-
marks that the existing tramway mileage
is quite insufficient and is oonspicuously
inferior to that Of American, European and
provincial English cities. 1t recommends
a large extension and the linking Of various
systems. More railways also are needed,
and they should be, If necessary, aided by
the local authorities. Shallow subways are
regarded as preferable to deep laid tubes,
although the former in some cases are ad-
mitted to be impracticable. The opinion is
expressed that motor omnibuses will never
take the place Of tramways.
AS can be seen, the construction OF the two
avenues and the carrying out Of the COM
missions other recommendations would
be enormously expensive. The Commits
sioners recognize that this will prevent
the adoption of an ideal scheme but in view
of the apparent fact that the metropolitan
population will reach 1900, 900 in the near
future they declare that the utmost possible
ought to be done. and they urge the creation
of permanent body to deal with the ques-
ton.

RACE IN NIAGARA RAPIDS.
Carlisle ID. Graham Beaten by william j.
Glover, q Baitim ore Swimmer.

| BUFFALO, July l7.-There was a swimming 6
race this afternoon through the Niagara
| Rapids between William j. Glover of Balti-
more and Carlisle D. Graham of Niagara
! Falls The course was about four miles
| and the Baltimore man won by four min
utes, his time being about 20 minutes.
A picture machine was run along the
gorge bank on trolley car. This contest
was not waged In the upper or whirlpool
rapids, where Capt. Webb lost his life about
twenty-five years ago. That bit OF rock
ridden furious water has never been dared
successfully by any human being except
in an ironclad barrel or boat Graham
has twice before swan the piece Of water
traversed to-day.
Nor did the course to-day include the
WHIRLPOOL The start was from Flat Rock
on the American side remote from the
swirl of that treacherous vortex. From
Flat Rock for several hundred yards the
water runs swiftly but smoothly. Then the
dull green changes suddenly to pure white
as the water is caught in the furious churn-
ing of the rapids and goes roaring, plunging'
boiling for stretch of three miles; then 1t
subsidies again to the dull green and flows
on to the finishing point OF the swimmers
at Pitts Dock, quarter OF mile below
the Lewiston Bridge.
1t was Glover's first venture in the rapids;
Both swimmers wore cork jackets and
inflated rubber neck rings. Thousands
crowded the cars of the Gorge route and
fringed the high bluffs. Graham Is an Old
man now. Glover Is quite young fellow.
The swimmers plunged into the current at
4 O'Clock and struck out for the center OF
the stream.
When they entered the churning waters
their heads looked like two footballs tossed
carried down stream with rush that
made the car hustle that the pictures
might he taken. Through the Devils Hole
they went, Graham well in the lead. The
swimmers could exert as much power OF
propulsion or of direction in that mighty
rush of waters as could peanut
Just beyond the Devils Hole Glover was
caught in an eddy and sucked under With
out his buoys that would have been the end
of him. but he bobbed up and with difficulty
got out of the swirl. Graham was then
so far ahead that his hackers were Offering
20 to 1, with no takers. However, luck
changed, and the veteran OF the rapids met
eddy after eddy, was swirled back time
and time again, and the Baltimore man was
rushed up toward him. The odds OF the
shouting enthusiasts on the fiat car de-
creased gradually to even money.
When the last of the eddies were passed
and the actual swimming began. both men
were in the center of the stream, Graham
about fifty feet in the lead. Both men were
tired and were finishing neck and neck,
when Graham was caught by back wash
clipper when pulled out of the water.
Graham was used up. He was carried in
a beer wagon to a hotel, where his bruises
were dressed.

LONDON, July 1s.-The st. Petersb urg
correspondent of the STANDARD says there Is
reason to believe that the peace negotiG-
ton will center on the amount Of the In
demnity to be paidto japan by Russia. Al

tain that none will be paid In any circhm-
Stances 1t Ia fact that the Ministers are

supply the amount when 1t is fixed and also
the funds for the reestablishment OF the
Government after the war.
The correspondent asserts that two
financial syndcates have already declared
their willingness to underwrite loans. One
Of these syndicates is English and the other
German. 1t is believed that the former
includes some American banks. The Ger
man syndicate is likely to grow into Con-
tinental group, in which French capital
