 Victoria Falls, zanbesie River, East Africa, Sept 12.-THe bridge over the zarnbesi river was formally opened to- day in the presence of the visiting members of the British association. Professor Darwin made the opening speech5 .
 He commented on the remarkable achievement which permitted a party travelling in electric lighted saloon cars to visit a place which heroic explorers had spent months of fruitless endeavor to- reach. Professor Darwin quoted the forecast written by Erasmus Darwin in 17S5: ''soon shall thy arm, unconquer- ed, steam afar, urge the slow barge and draw the flying car.' '."
 He said: "How little could the writ CT of these lines have foreseen for his great grandson the honor of opening a railway bridge in the heart of equator ial Africa" At the conclusion of his speech Professor Darwin touched an electric button which fused wire stretched across the track of the bridge and tan engine decorated with Union Jacks passed over The party then pro- ceeded on an excursion to Livingston Island.
 The bridge over the ZamIoesi river the highest in the word, was completed April 10 of this year, thus completing another link in the Cape to Cairo rail road. The bridge, which is of the can- tileyer type, is 40 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 girdel pattern.

MANY ARE KILLED IN

 General of Balu.
 Tifis, Caucasia, Sept. 12.-Many so- cial democrats were killed or wounded to-day in conflict with Cossacks at the town hall, and many were trampled to death in subsequent panic. Two thousand social democrats had forced an entrance into the town hall, which was closed owing to the celebration of religious holiday, the beheading of John the Baptist.
 Revolutionary speeches were made and the chief of police ordered the meeting to disperse. Part of those pres- ent obeyed, but the remainder refused, and some revolvers were fired. A large force of Cossacks drawn up outside the building then fired several volleys into the crowd, killing thirty persons and wounding upwards of seventy. Tn the ensuing panic. many persons fell and were trampled to death by their conl- rades and the pursuing Cossacks. .%
 According to the official account the crowd was roughtly handled by the commissary of police, whereupon the third company of the Pdltava regimen was summoned The commander of the company ordered the demonstrators to disperse, promising not to arrest them if they obeyed. Shots were then fired on the cossacks not only from the town hall but from the court yard and the street. A number of rioters assembled in neighporing house, broke through wall leading to the hall and opened fire with revolvers on the Cossacks and police, wounding a Cossack and a po- liceman. The Cossacks thereupon fire upon the rioters. Official figures give the casualties as twenty-three killed and fifty wounder.
 Serious developments have arisen in connection with the death of General Prince Arnilakhovri, formerly governor general of Baku, whose body is now lying in a house in the vicinity of Tifiis. The prince was regarded with bitter hatred. owing to the harsh measures which he adopted when he was sent orl Ia special mission to pacify the Cau- casus. The revolutionaries threaten the local priests with death if they attempt to offer prayers over the body. No one dares approach the house. Troops have been dispatched to bring the remains to Tffiish and 1t is feared that there will be disorders at the funeral. '- /. , Y. <,
