Com missioner Jones Reports.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The annual
report of Commissioner of Indian Af-
fairs Jones advocates the education
of the Indian in the rudiments of the
English language and that he be
taught that he must work or starve.

in generation or more will regen-
crate the race. There were 257 In
dian schools in operation during the
year. The enrolment of pupils was
24,357 and employees numbered 2,2s2.
Mr.. Jones strongly denounces the
"sun" and other religious" dances of
the Indians, and says that reports of
eyewitnesses of these performances
show they are revolving in the ex-

away from the crowd of friends to
shake hands with the jurors and
wept like children as they did So
Mrs. Johns was the only lady present
when the verdict was rendered. She
was overcome with joy.
The charge of Judge Thompson
during the afternoon occupied an
hour in its delivery and was very
strong. Considering the charge to
the jury, the verdict was surprise,
as the general opinion was that the
jury would be unable to agree. Fed
eral officials acknowledged their dis
appointment at the outcome.

DISASTER AT SEA.
Story of the Wreck OF n French Ship
Is Told by Four Survivors-Nine of
the Crew are Missing.

the crew are MlBH1nEs
San Francisco, Nov. pa raft
containing the first mate and three
sailors of the wrecked bark Francois
Cope came ashore in Tomales Bay
yesterday and the men, after secur-
ing succor at a neighboring ranch,
were driven to railway station and
reached this city last night. The sur
vivors are all Frenchmen and the
story told disproves the earlier sus-
picions of mutiny on board. Ac-
cording to their story the Coppe had
been sailing in fog for three days
and Capt. Irneye Friday night be-
lieved that he was on the San Fran
cisco side of the Farallone Islands
when, as the disaster proved, he was
near the coast line.
The four men have very vague
idea as to the place where the ship
struck on the rocks in Tomales Bay.
They say that the night was very
dark and stormy and huge waves
were dashing violently against tn
ship after she struck. 1t was deem
ed advisable to launch two small
boats first. These were lost in the
angry seas, but they had no occu-
pants. Then the big life boat was
provisioned and launched and held
fast with rope, but when nine men
had been lowered into it the rope
broke.
The life boat was then in danger of
being dashed to pieces and there was
no way of getting back to the ship,
and for self-preservation the nine
men were compelled to pull away.
They were later picked up by the
Scotia. The four men who came to
San Francisco then constructed a
raft and took the chance of being
washed ashore. What became of the
captain and eight sailors yet unac-
counted for, the first mate could not
