LONDON, Oct. 2G-The declaration of his
holiness, the pope, in his address to body of
Neapolitan pilgrims Wednesday, that Rome
was predestined to be the see of the vicar Of
Christ and should ever remain the capital of
th4 Catholic world. Is regarded as an official
casting down Of the gauntlet to which no
subsequent diplomatic ntterance can impart
q softening effect. The idea of regaining
the temporal power Of the papacy has never
for moment been abandoned by the holy
father since the hour of the arrival Of Victor
Emanuel in Rome, the ousting of the pope
from his possession Of the Quirinal and the
limitation of his Roman authority to the
Vatican, where he has since resided a self
styled prisoner.
From that time until now every utterance
Of the Vatican authority upon the subject
has been replete with hope that the day was
not far distant when the papal court would
again become one of the universally recog-
nized powers of Europe, and that hope has
been buoyed by the fact that dozen coun-
tries, large and small, continued TO accredit
~ ministers, ambassadors and representa-
tives of other grades to the holy see.
The pope does not in any Of his declara-
tions on the subject claim that all Of what Is
now known as the kingdom o. Italy Is legitl'
mately under the temporal authority OF vice.
gerent of Christ, but rather seeks to have 1t
understood that Rome and certain part OF
the territory adjoining the eternal city are
rightfully the possessions Of the head OF the
church and necessary to the grandeur OF his
spiritual office.
The most he appears to want is conces-
sion on the part Of those who deny right to
anything, OF absolute sovereignty over the
Vatican and a narrow contiguous strip OF
land wherein he may hold court and kingly
sway as a temporal monarch, and his latest
Examinations Indicate that his interview
with the German emperor having failed to
convince that young man of the justice OF
his claim, he has resolved to inaugurate a
more vigorous and convincing campaign for
The recovery of his temporal sovereignty.

NEW York, Oct. 20 "A London special to
the World says:
saw last night the proofs OF Gen. Sir
Charles Warren's article on the London po'
lice. which will appear in magazine here
on Saturday. IL is intended AS de Tense of
his iucompetency and Of his failure to catch

These are his words: sit Is to be deplored
that the successive governments have not
had the courage to make stand against
the moro noisy section, and have given way
before the tumultuous proceedings which
have exercised terrorism over peaceful and
law.abidng citizens, aud 1t Is stu more to
be regrette that certain ex cabinet minis
ters whiie in OPP osition, have not hesitated
fSo emhurrnss those in power by smiling on
the insurgent mob. There can be very little
doubt that the cutlery against the police as a
military force, instigated for political or sim
ister purposes, is due TO the Engli5hman who
noses as tho censor of public bodies, and who
possesses, as a rule, but one idea at time"
This refers unt q Iivocally to Mr. Glad
stone. and will create great indignation
among his followers when the article is
made public. The article generally is a
weakening on Gen. Wnrren's part, and he
now even asserts that the police force might
be reduced, IL all London would resolve it.
self into vigilance committee.
Yet it stands as matter of record that the
Whitechapcl vigilance committee has re
ceived almost no recognition from Gen.
Warren. Sir Charles also accuses the re-
portcrs, who have done more to solve the
mystery of tho crime than any one else with
hamueriug his work.
Sir Cuarles Warren makes comparisons OF
. london with the French and continental pO
Y lice, but utterly ignores Superintendent
Murray's splendid force, ns he is very sore
about tho New York criticisms on him
which have been reported here.
