refused to British subjects could not
be conceded to foreigners.
The Government thought, he added.

WOULD FILL EAST RIVER.
NEW YORK, July 22.-It is the be-
lief of Thomas A. Edison, the inventor,
that within a decade all transit facili-
lies over and under East river will be
insufficient to relieve the congestion
which has hitherto kept pace with the
citys growth. In brief, with six tun-
1els under the river bed and four or
more huge bridges above it, each with
h capacity of 30,00O.000 passengers a
year, the gorge of transit now to be
seen at the Manhattan end of the
bridge will still exist.
Therefore, says Edison in effect, the
only thing to be done will be to fill in
East river and continue Manhattans
streets into Brooklyn.
