REEo's QUEER STORY.
Trying to Shift sIame for Train
Wrecking to the Detectives.

TROY. N. Y, December 27.-An evening
session of the Court of Sessions was held
last night and the proceedings were quite
sensational. John Reed. on trial on charge
of train wrecking near Greenbush last Sep
tember, was sworn in his own behalf He
told most remarkable story. He declared
that he had nothing whatever to do at any
time with wrecking trains or mispacing
switches. He swore that after he was ar
rested he was taken to the Union Station In
Albany, where he was confronted by Pink
erton and Superintendent Bissel. and be-
fore the latter left the room he told him that
any promises Pinkerton made he (BisselD
would stand by.
Pinkerton then questioned him for while
and tried to get him to make confession
The next day Pinkert0n saw him again and
said: II have got you-Kiernan and Cor
dial have made a confession duplicating you
and others. You had better make a clean
front of it." He showed the alleged confess
sions aud questioned him at great length,
his real purpose being to induce him to
swear that the two men who were seen near
the scene OF the wreck were Kiernan and
Cordial. He promised him immunity from
| punishment. said the comDany's lawyers
would defend him, and that Judge Griffith.
| the trial judge, had been fixed. Reed finally
made statement on the third day, and then
| Pinkert0n said: "NOw have got you, and
| can use this confession" Then Plnkerton
insisted that Reed must identify Herman
| and Cordial.
On the cross-examination Reed admitted
| that he went before the grand jury with the
deliberate intention Of committing perjury.
| Reeds whole story was to the effect that the
SO called fixing OF the switch was done in
Pinkerton's interest, and that none of the in.
| dicted men had anything to do with 1t or
knew anything about IL.

PARIS, December 2S.-Advices from Rome
state that the Pope has finished the draft Of
his encyclical upon the social question. The
Pope considers the question the greatest Of
the present time The encyclical will re-
view and expound the whole question affect
Ing wage workers. The document will CON-
prise three parts First, His Holiness will
develop the general principles upon which
social economy is founded, and the domi-
nant idea OF the distribution Of justice
which should regulate the intercourse Of
men and the spread Of wealth. The Pope
says that dlstrlbutlve and restorative justice
Is needed to prevent misery and sweating on
the one side, and exorbitant riches and ty-
ranny op the other. The second part com
prises the origin and cause Of the-present
conditf0n Of the social problem, On this
pOint,d dis Holiness takes the new thesis, first
developed In his encyclical on socialism.
The third part contains the views OF the
Pope regarding the remedies. beyond relig-
ious and moral influence, TO be advocated.
His Holiness expresses himself as again In
favor of Intervention by the state with
In the limits previously set forth. He con-
demns capitaI, as now organized. and ad-
vocates more equitable and Just dlstribu-
tion Of riches. The encyclical will probably
appear before Easter.

THEY WERE PANIC STRICKEN.
TWO Hundred Drowned or Burned
When the Shanghai vast Lost.

LONDON, December 27.-Further adyices
from China as to the burning Of the steam
ship Shanghai, near Woo Hoo, in the
Province OF NgaD-HOel. about 80 miles from
Marking, show that the disaster was much
more serious than at first imagined. The
earlier advices received stated that the crew.
consisting OF about sixty natives, together
with several European officers, were sup
posed to have met death either In the flames
or subsequently by drowning, while attempt-
Ing to escape from the burning vessel. 1t
now seems that the number of lives lost will
amount to over two hundred, and that they
all lost their lives by drowning. A terrible
panic, 1t appears, occurred among the
Chinese passengers and crew so soon as the
alarm OF tire was heard, AID the panic in
creased terribly when the flames spread be-
yond the control of the terror-strlcken crew.
The few European officers on board the
Shanghai seem to have. done their best to
maintain some kind Of order among the
Cinnamon, but without result The large
majority of those who lost their lives did so
by jumping overheard In order to escape
from the flames; others met their deaths
through the swamping of the clumsiIy
lowered and overcrowded boats. Further
particulars are not Obtainable at present. and
It is hoped that it may b. shown upon fur
ther investigation that the disaster Is not so
serious as the latest Chinese reports describe
1t to be.
There are two British steamships bearing
the name of Shanghai now in Chinese
waters. One is the Shanghai of 2O44 tons
register. which left this port Oct 19lh for
Shanghai. The second steamship Shanghai
In Chinese waters is oil 22l7 tons register,
and is technically known as engaged Sin
trading locally In China seas" 1t Is general
ly admitted here that 1t is this last vessel
which has been burned, and that the China
men drowned were in the main ssengers
being conveyed from one Chinese port to an
other.
