BIG IRON SHIP LOST.
The Janet COwan on the Rocks
on Vancouver Island.
SHE WILL BE A TOTAL WRECK.
The Crew Likely to Be saved-A Four
Massed Vessel OF a,5OO Tons,
From south Africa.

Victoria, B. C., Jan. ia large four
nasfed ship Is on the rocks twelve niles
west Of Carmanai point. She was seen ny
the steamer Princess Louise, which ar
rived at Alberni today. The ship was hy-
ing signals for assistance, but Capt Irving
could not go on account OF rough weather
and the rocks BY which the vessel Is sur
rounded. As far as can be learned. the
vessel went on at the same pace where
the bark Sarah was wrecked. IL Is thought
the crew will be able 10 reach land, al
though the sea is running very high. Inc
vessels masts were still standing waen
the Louise passed. A strong current sets
in to shore where the vessel Is, and when
q ship once gets into il she can very sell
dom keep of the shore.
Carmanah point is the Vancouver island
headIand at the entrance to the strait OF
Fuca. and is east OF Barclay sound. There
are a lighthouse and a telegraph station
there but the wire was torn down by the
recent storm.
The first news of the wreck came in a
dispatch from II. p Rithel & Co.. of Vic
toria, 10 Capt. ]. b. Libby, of the Puget
Sound Tugboat Company. The dispatch
said the ship was high on the beach. with
breakers rolling outside. and asked that
tug and the Mean Bay iifeboat be sent.
Capt. Libby told a Post-Intelligencer re-
porter that ne would send a tug from Port
Townsend at once, but that the life-sayfng
station at Neah Bay had been discon-
tinued.
Capt. Libby thought the lost vessel was
the British ship Janet Cowan, Capt.
Thompson, 2, 49s tons rated 100 Al, l21 days
out from Cape Town for Hastings Mills
TO load a return cargo of lumber. She was
sighted off Cape Flattery several days ago.
The dispatch from Rithel said the ship was
not breaking up and Capt. Libby thought
the crew would be saved, although there
was no hope for the vessel.

INDIAN LEASES VOID.
Treaties Not Abrogated by Discontinue
ance of Tribal IL Iations.

Omaha, Jan. fudge Shiras. Of Iowa,
In the Federal court at Omaha today, rem
dered a decision declaring that in cases
where Indians have become citizens, with
all the accompanying privileges, the gov
eminent is still bound by the treaty stipu-
lations existing while tribal relations were
sustained. He holds that ii applies on all
reservations and Is wide in scope. The de-
oision was rendered In the FIournoy Land
Companys appeal. wherein they ask TO
have their claims 10 Indian lands sus-
tanned.
The court declares that the fact that the
Indian allottees are declared citizens of
the United States does not render void as
to them or as TO remaining portions of the
tribes tho restrictions upon the rights of
alienation contained In the several acts of
congress under which ailotments of sew
crafty have been made. and declares the
leases of the defendants wholly void and
that the obligation applies to all Indian
reservations.
