They contend thit since the war department must furnish all the ' iccDrd proof in pension case * it would bo n gicat saving to give it eutlio ctiargo of the pension business. , Unquestionably tlio pension burcaa would Invo been taken out of the control of the in terior : department and tuusfeirod to the war department nrtny jcnrs a'o tin I It not , bcoi for the objections raised by those who wnnt to retain positions In the pension bureau.

The commissioner could simply say ho wanted so many mora clci Its , the secrotiuy of war would mnko tlio nssignmcnt , nnd woik could ho pushed as rapidly as possible It has been urged bv men in both political pirtics that the adjudication of pension claims never moved foiw.ud moro rapidly by an ineieiso of the cleiicnl force : that the chiefs of divisions nnd commissioner nlono could huiry the \vorkbj compelling the cleiks to wort tnstnr ; Unit the latter wanted to diawl their work out ns long as possible , so ns to keep tlulr places peipetually.

All these statements would be ended with the tiansfcr of theensionbuieau | ) to Iho war deparlmeiit.

The movement to transfer the pension bu reau will bo mode at the beginning of the next session Fiom the number of advocates It hns now it looks as though It would sue- ccod.

V M \ \ VUl TO SIJTTIi : Till ! INDIAN TltOnlrVt. ' If I had the settlement of the Indian ques tion I would hepln It with the dissolution of nil tribd iclitions , " said Uopiesentntivo rnnston of Kansas to jour correspondent today. Mr. Tunslon has been nanny jcurs on the frontier , and knows something prac tically of ttio Indian iiucstlon. Ho has n lot of Indian constituents. "Just so long as the Indians are held together and kept on Iho fiontier , " continued he , "just so long will they make Iho complaint of ono that of nil nnd go upon Iho warpath whcnovcrlhoy have a piotcxt. It would bo muth better to sell nil Iho Indian tesoivations at ptiblio nttclion and take the money and buy forms for the Indians , In lots of a fotv families , in llio cast. Whenever wo begin lo diop these pcoplo down in I'onnsjlvnnln , Ohio , New York and Indium , lor instance , on cultivated farms , then wo begin the absorption of the , Indian by clvili/atloii , nnd in n few ) eirs the sa\ngowill boknoivn only to history. Just so long us wo keep them together , tint long will wo have them in the vvav and suffer fiom thelt tiotbles. "Onoilihlciilty with the Indian comes from the wliilo man's ' greed of gainVo h ivo gol- tcn the Idea that the Iiidlin Is not entitled lo have a farm of good ground , but should bo ciowded clear outside of a region which will piodueo nny thing In tin line of nirncultmo. 'U'o forget th il all hnds once belonged to the Indians , nnd that thov have a ootter right to them than -wo hnvo AV'o hoar constant com plaints nbout the Choiokoo sliip , Indian ler- iltory nnd other bmlles of Indian hnds not being thrown open for white setllomcnt.

"I know of my own personal knowledge , " continued Mr. Funston , "Unit the great milk of tlio hints allotted to the Indians now mak ing war are not tillable.
