TIBET IS CLOSED.
LONDON. July 21.-Morley has an
nornced that Dr. Sven Hedin had been
refused permission to visit Tibet. I'll
had been decided for reasons of policy
that no British subjects were to be al
lowed to explore Tibet, and what was
refused to British subjects could not
be conceded to foreigners.

that Tibet should continue in a state
of isolation. The decision in no wayl
affected access to the trade routes
sketched by the Lhasa Convention. He
regretted that he had been obliged tol
refuse application from the Royal Geo
Society and the Royal Scot |

WOULD FILL EAST RIVER.
NEW 1ohh, July EG'-it is the pe- G
Ief of Thomas A. Edison, the inventor,
hat within decade all transit facili-
les over and under East river will be ]
insufficient to relieve the congestion I
'hich has hitherto kept pace with the :
ity's growth. In brief, with six tun-
els under the river bed and four or
lore huge bridges above it, each with Q
capacity Of 3O,OOO,O00 passengers a Y
ear, the gorge of transit now to be !
cen at the Manhattan end of the
'rooklyn bridge will still exist. 1
Therefore, says Edison in effect, the
My thing to be done will be to fill in
last river and continue Manhattan's n
treets into Brooklyn.
