The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-12-28
OPINIONS OF The POPE
His Holiness Expresses Himself Upon
the Social Condition Of The World.
AN APPEAL FOR JUSTICE
The Present Organization OF Capt.
tai is Wrong-Labor Deserves
Liberty 90 But Some Re-
straint Is Necessary.

PARIS, Dec. 27.-Advices from Rome
state that the pope has finished the draft
OF his eneyclical upon the social question.
His holiness has been working upon the
subject for over year and at his request
the most competent economists and
bishops Of the different countries, in
cluding America, furnished a memoran-
dun. The pope considers the question
the greatest Of the present time. The
encyclical will be the crowning act OF
the pope's work in this direction.
The date Of publication has not yet
been given, but the associated press cor
respont is enabled TO give the substance
of il now.
The encyclical will review and expound
the whole question affecting the wage
workers. The document will comprise
three parts. First, his holiness will de-
yelop the general principles upon which
social economy is founded, and the DOM
inant idea OF the distributive justice which
should regulate the intercourse Of men
and the spread OF wealth. The pope says
distrlbutive and restorative justice Is
needed TO prevent misery and sweating
on one side and exorbitant ric hes and
tyranny on the other.
The second part comprises the origin
and cause of the present condition of the
social problem. On this point his holi-
ness takes new thesis first developed in
his encyclical on socialism.
The third part contains the views
OF the pope regarding remedies be-
yond the religious and moral intiu-
ence TO be advocated. His holiness
expresses himself again in favor of the
Intervention Of the state within the limits
previously set forth. He condemns cap
italsm as now organized aud advocates
a more equitable and just distribution of
riches.
The pope is convinced the pspacy
should lead the present social and demo
cratic movement and will appeal TO all
conservative forces and 10 protestants
to aid in securing the safety of society.
The pope's physician says his holiness
may live for sometime yet, as he has a
robust constitution and is suffering from
no infirmity.

TWO HUNDRED DROWNED.

IN
LONDON, Dec. 27.-Further advices
from China as TO the burning Of the
steamship Shanghai, near Woo Hoo,
show the disaster was much more serious
than at first reported. Earlier advices re-

with several European officers, were sup

the flames or by drowning. II now seems
the number of lives lost is over 800, all
by drowning.
Further advices from China as TO the
burning Of the steamship Shanghai near
Woo Hoo, in the province of Ngane Hoei,
about fifty miles from Maxim,
show the disaster much more serious
than at first reported. II now seems
he number OF lives lost will amount TO
over 900 and all lost their lives by drown
ing. A terrible panic occurred among the
Chinese passengers and crew as soon rs
the alarm Of fire was heard and the panic
increased when the flames spread beyond
control OF the terrified crew. The few
European officers on board did their best

those who lost their lives did so by jump

flames. Others met their death through
the swamping of clumsily-lowered aud
over-crowded boats. There are two Brit

hal now in the Chinese waters. 1t is be-
lieved the Cinnamon drowned were in

from one Chinese port TO another.
