LocHREN WANTS MORE PROOF.
An Order That Will BE of Interest to APP
Hcants for Pensions.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Commissioner
Lochren, of the pension bureau, has issued
an order directing that hereafter in max
ing calls upon the war and navy depart
ments for information regarding the ser
vice of applicants for pension under the
act of June q, 1892, request shall be
made for full military and medical his
tory of the soldier. Hitherto these calls
have asked only for the dates of the SOL
dier's enlistment and discharge.
This new order is important from the
fact that il shows purpose on the part of
the pension officials to make more search
ing inquiry than formerly into the causes
of the applicants disability and ascertain
from official sources whether it may not
have resulted from his own vicious habits
This information is material, as under the
act of June ~ 1890, such applicants are
specifically barred from receiving PEN
sions.

THE BANNING INDIANS.
HOW THEY ARE INSTRUCTED AT
ST. BONIFAOE's SCHOOL.
Superintendent Hahn Replies t , q State
ment from Chief Morongo, and
Shows the Success Teach
ers Have Achieved.

A few days ago the HERALD published
an interview with Juan Morongo, the
chief of the Mission Indians at Banning,
in which he somewhat adversely criti-
cised st. Boniface's industrial school
for Indians at that place. Mr.. B.
Florian Hahn, superintendent of the
school, writes as follows about the mat
ter to the HERALD:
In the Thursday number of your jour
nal l find some statements gwen to you
by John Morongo, captain of the Port
rero Indians, not because being elected
by majority of HE people, but appoint
ed by United States Indian Agent Rust.
John Morongo Gays that "the ST.,
Boniface industrial school has an at
tendance of about 100 Indian pupils" :"
l reply: The average attendance of the
fiscal year 1S91-'92 was 115. 125 pupils
being at the school June, 1892. At pres
ent there are 12S pupils attending the
school. We receive $125 for every pupil
per annum, being obliged to board,
clothe and instruct them for the above
consideration. But this amount is linn.
tied to 100 pupils; the % pupils above
this number are cared for at cur own
expense, assisted by charitable contrib
utors.
John Morongo says we teach no
trades, but he knows better. We are
inetructing the Indian boys in shoe
making, carpentering, baking bread,
horticulture and all the various work in
orchard, garden and field, for which
purpose our 35-acre orchard of fruit
trees, all bearing, and of nearly all
varieties, affords an excellent opportu-
nifty.
The girls are instructed, not only to
sew as John Morongo sayp, but they are
taught by the sisters in charge of the
school how to cook, how to bake, how to
wash and iron, how to knit, ETC., and
the samples of needlework done hv the
girls and free to inspection at the school,
prove both the zeal and proficiency OF
the sister teachers and also the progress
made by the pupils.
John Morongo and Agent Rust have
never been friendly TO our school. be-
cause they dissent with our religion, and
the missive of John Morongo in your
journal is. kind of evading the real
question. l know where they will lead
people, and | know something of the
history of the whule Indian muddle, but
we cheerfully hope for somebody who
will be fair and iust and impsrtial one
who does not desire to gain for himself
while others will lose and suffer.
We ask for no privileges, but for
justice and unbiased fairness to the
small remnant of the despoiled mission
Indians and their disinterested friends.
