ANOTHER PENSION RULING
Commissioner Lochren Issues an Order
of Importance to Applicants.
Rule for the Adjudication Of Claims Under
the Act OF 1S9O-COndition of Cereals as
Reported in the Agricultural Department.


How Claims VIII BE Adjudfcated and Rates
Fixed Under the Act of 1890.
WASHINGTON. June 10.-Judge Locbren,
the Commissioners of Pensions. with the
approval of Secretary Hoke Smith, has
issued the following important order rs to
adjudlcating and fixing rates of pensions
under the act of June 81. 1890:
First-A claim for pension under the second
section OF the act OF June ~. 1890. can only be
allowed upon proof OF mental or physical disa-
biiity OF permanent character not the result OK
the claimants own vicious habits, iDcapacltat-
Ing him from the performance or manual labor
in such degree as to render him unable TO earn q
support.
second-No specific injury or disability can. as
such, have pcnsiOnable rating under that act
nor be considered otherwise than as IL effects
the capacity OF the claimant to perform ordinary
manual labor.
Third-Proof that the disability not the result
OF the claimants own vicious habits Is requisite;
and therefore the causes and the circumstances
of the origin OF the disability should be shown by
the evidence furnished In support OF the claim
for pension. far can be done, by persons
other than the claimant
Fourth-TO give the claimant O penslonable
status under this act the disability must be such
as TO incapaciate from the performance or man
ual labor in such degree to
render him unable TO earn support
yet the act recognizes differences in
the degree of such pensionable disability, giving
$l2 per month in case OF the greatest, and as
per month in case or the lowest degree or such
pensionable disability rendering the claimants
unable TO earn O support by manual labor It
also provides for immediate ratings In proper
ton to the intermediate degrees OF such pen
sionable disability. The proper ratings under
this act, therefore, will be made In accordance
with such rules for rating as the medical referee
shall prescribe, subject to the approval OF the
