THE CRISIS IN CHINA.
RUSSIA'S ACTION IN MANCHURIA. A PROTEST FROM AMERICA. United Press Aseociatiou—By Electric . Telegraph—Copyright. (Received January 10th. 8.39 a.m.) LONDON, January 9. Influential American papers protest against Russia's seizure of Manchuria, as inimical to America's trading interests, and urge the co-operation of England, Japan, Germany, and America with a view to combatting Russian aggression. General Count Yon Wa'.dersee has declined Russia's proposals to restore the North China railway to Germany, because the suggested terms of the transfer overrode the existing British rights.
THE DUKE OF NORFOLK IN ITALY.
THE ADDRESS TO THE POPE. (Received January 10th, 8.48 a.m.) ROME, January 9. Italians are indignant at the Duke of Norfolk in heading a British Roman Catholi._' pilgrimage to Rome, and reading the Pope an address ardently expressing the hope for his temporal independence, and attacking the Protestant missions to Rome. The Pope.re-echoed the sentiments contained in the address in stronger terms. (Received January 11th, 12.19 a.m.) ROME, January 9. The newspapers are inflamed and consider the Duke of Norfolk is abusing hospitality, and has incited Italian Catholics to disloyalty. Tho papers are confident that the British Press will disavow his action. English newspapers, replying, show that Britain has for a century been the supporter of Italian unity. "The Times" censures the Duke of Norfolk's tactless violation of diplomatic etiquette in inviting Sir Philip Currie to a reception at which the healths t-f the Queen and Pope were drunk and King Victor's ostentatiously omitted. The Duke's action in going to South Africa is interpreted as tin British Catholic reply to the malevolent abuse of Continental clericals towards England, and it is unfortunate, says the paper, that ho prejudices his praiseworthy aud patriotic action by the most odious religious intolerance and gross tactlessness towards a friendly dynasty and nation.
