INTERESTING FOREIGN NEWS. An Explanation of the NIitylene Af- fair-Russfa's Strange Request of the European Danube Commission China Preparing a Protocol to
 the Powers on the Recent Riots
 The Chilian Junta Recognized by
 Italy.
 CoNsrANT1NorLE, Sept. 16.-The follow ing is the text of the alarming telegraphic dispatch relating to the Mitylene affair as received at the British embassy on Sunday last: ''''-
 "M1rYLENE, Sept. 13, 9:30 a. m.-Eng- fish have disembarked with guns at Sigri Island without permission, and are now installed in tents on the islet which is sur rounded by torpedoes. The governor has from the British vice consul the reason for this proceeding. The porte's foreign minister has addressed to Sir William White, the British ambassador at Con stantinople, note asking him to explain the matter and that an explanation be also furnished in writing.
 ''Sir William White has not yet replied and it is surmised that he is waiting the report of Admiral Lord Walter Kerr"
 PARIS, Sept. 16.-The scare caused by the report of the occupation of Mitylene by England has made bankers less pliable and the negotiations concerning the price of the new Russian loan still continue.
 LONDON, Sept. 16-The Russian govern ment has requested the European Danube commission to permit Russian naval cadets %o {o1> {ha ha longing to the commission in order that these young officers may be instructed in the pilotage of the Danube and become familiar with the navigation of that river. This strange request, following close upon the Dardanelles incident, in which Russia insisted that Turkey should allow vessels belonging to her volunteer fleet to pass the Dardanelles, claiming that they were not men-of-war in the actual sense of the word, has caused considerable astonish ment in official circles.
 PARIS, Sept. 16.-The Chinese charge d'affairs visited Foreign Minister Ribot to- day, and after informing him that China recognized that the measures hitherto taken to protect European residents in China were insufficient, assured him that the negligent mandarins would be dis missed and the rioters punished He added that six of the latter have already been hanged. It is feared, however, that these promises will remain dead letter.
 SHANGHAI, Sept. 10.-China is pre- pairing protocol to the powers on the recent riots. It is believed that the for eign ministers will not wait for this docu- ment, the preparation of which is likely to occupy several weeks.
 ROME, Sept. 16.-The Italian govern ment has recognized the junta of the es- tablished government in Chili.

Lack of a Quorum Prevents a Meet
 ing Being Held.
 Commissioners Atwater and Sullivan and Mayor Sargent were the only members of the board of public works present at the city hall last evening, and in consequence of the lack of quorum no meeting was held.
 Fifteen or twenty residents of the sec- ton of the city interested in the proposed extension of Willow street to Blatchley avenue were present to favor the proposed extension. The matter came up before the board in July and as no one appeared in favor of the extension and six or seven against it the matter was tabled in order to give both sides a chance for hearing. Among those who were in favor of the ex- tension, several of whom were present last evening, are John Foley, NJ. J. McMahon, Philip O'Brien, Peter Hauser, John Dons- hue John Maher, Abraham McGinty, James Fitzpatrick and the Swedish Building asso- citation.
 After waiting three quarters of an hour for the other commissioners to appear Mayor Sargent announced that the next meeting of the board would be called for next Wednesday evening, and the hall was soon emptied.

COLLISION IN A TUNNEL. One Killed and Several Hurt fin Rail-
 way Accident.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-At a late hour last night a freight train crashed into the rear of the Los Angeles express just west of Girard. One man was killed and several wounded. The express was coming towards San Francisco from Los Angeles, and near Girard was notified of a small landslide which blocked the track. The slide proved to be of little importance, but the train was brought to standstill on a steep down grade. The air brake refused to work and the train went down the grade through tunnels 15, IA and 13 into tunnel 12, where it stopped.
 A freight train was sent along after the passenger train to clear up the landslide. The fiagman who was sent back to flag the freight evidently did not do his duty, for the heavy train went on and ran into the rear of the passenger train. Colonel William Harney, manager of the Golden Gate Woollen mills, was standing on the platform and was caught between two cars and instantly killed. A. c. Baldema of Los Angeles was cut about the head. Mrs. Healy of Los Angeles had her back hurt, and Miss Sprong of Illinois was severely bruised.
