In such certificates, where the maximum ratine of $12 per month is allowed the certificate will state it is for inability to earn support by manual labor. Where less than the maximum rating is allowed the certificate will state it is for partial inability to earn a living by manual labor, Whenever, in the case of a pension granted under the said section at less than the maximum rating and a higher rating is subse quently sought, the application for such higher rating shall lie considered and treated as a claim for an increase, and not as a claim for a new disability, and the increase, if allowed, will commence from the date of medical examination showing an increase of disability ."

The commercial company is seriously con sidering the advisability of withholding further supplies to the natives unless the accounts already presented are passed. The whole matter, as previously stated, has been referred to the attorney-general for consideration, and it will probably linn its way into the courts. In the meantime much solici tude is felt for the fate of the natives, who entirely depend upon the supplies furnished by the North American Coin niercial Company for nnhsistance.
