CHICAGO. Sept. 12.-Demands of the
members of Freight Handlers union
OF Chicago for an increase Of ten per
cent In wages or an arbitration of their
demands, and the demand for confer
ence were refused today. The general
managers of the twenty-five railroads
centering in Chicago notified President
P. J. Flannery of the union that nego-
tiations were ended.
The news of the refusal of the general
managers to grant the increase in
wages and the declination to hold a
conference was received angrily by the
men. They Immediately arranged to
call a series of mass meetings to con-
slider the action of the roads.
At the meeting of the railway off,
cials there was little discussion as to
The meeting lasted only a few min
utes, and before adjournment the off,
cials of the railroads had pledged them
selves not to deal individually with any
committee of the freight handlers.
1t developed after the meeting that
the general freight agents had commu-
nicated with the freight handlers as in
dividual employees, and informed each
of them that the railroads were paying
the highest wages they could pay.
Notwithstanding a feeling of conf
dence that there will be no strike the
railroad companies are going ahead
with preparations for one. The prep
arations are precautionary. Cots are
being hauled to the freight houses and
hundreds of men have been tentatively
hired to take the place of the union
men should they vote to strike.
Chief of Police Collins had been COM
nunicated with and he will furnish po-
lice protection to the freight houses.
The agreement which expired last
June, and which the union is seeking
to re-establish with a ten per cent in
crease, is the one adopted as the basis
of settlement of the big strike conduct
ed by former President Curran of the
Freight Handlers union.

VICTORIA FALLS, Zambesi River,
East Africa, Sept. 12.-The bridge over
the zambesi river was formally opened
today in the presence of the visiting
members of the British association.
Prof. Darwin made the opening speech.
lie commented upon the remarkable
achievement which permitted party
travelling in electric lighted salon cars
to visit a place which heroic explorers
had spent months of fruitless endeav-
ors to reach.
At the conclusion OF his speech Prof.
Darwin touched an electric button
which fused a wire stretched across the
track of the bridge, and an engine
decorated with union jacks proceeded
on an excursion to Livingstone island.
The bridge over the Zambesi river,
q. M, April / Of the present year, the
Cape to Cairo railway. The bridge,
which is of the cantilever type, is 420
feet above the river at low water and
crosses over the gorge at Victoria
Falls. The bridge was built by an
English company on the girder pattern.
1t is constructed in three spans and
has a width of thirty feet.
The Cape to Cairo railway is an en-
deavor initiated by the late Cecil
Rhodes to connect Egypt and South
Africa by line 300 feet long. From
the north the railway has reached
Khaltoum, distance (allowing for the
river gap between Assouan and Wady
Halfa) OF 1400 miles.
In the south end progress has been
made north of Zambesi on the section
known as the Northern extension. from
the Victoria Falls to Kalama, the ad-
ministrative center of Baroeseland, a
distance of 100 miles. From Kalama
the line is to be continued for another
$50 miles in a northeasterly direction.
1t is probable that from the Anganiky
there will be two lines, one through
the Congo and another through Ger
man territory.
