The Secretary of the Interior In re sponse to the reqnest of Benator Mitch ell has transmitted to the Senate all the raper relating to the claim of Oregon ndians for money in payment of ceded lands in 1866. The papers go to the In dian Committee of the Senate, who will try and find out whether there 1 any thing in th claim made by the Indians. Mount Taooma and several thousand acres of land In its vicinity are to be withdrawn from settlement and made a timber reservation, with the ultimate hope that it will be created aa a national park. Senator Bquire has been working on this for some time, and Representa tive Wilson saw Secretary Noble about it recently. An agreement was reached to hav tti withdrawal made. Th War Department baa received a dispatch from General Whnaton, com manding the Department of Texas, stat ing that the Mexican government haa Instituted proceedings for the extradi tion of the three bandit leader arrested bv United States troops on the charge of violating the neutralitv lawa. The dis patch was sent to the Secretary of State, who will co-operate with the Mexican government In securing speedy action in tb case. The fee paid the messengers who bring the electoral votes to the national capital amount to a considerable sum in the aggregate. Already there is some talk of repealing in one of Mr. tlolman's appropriation bills the provisions for faying theae meeeengers and providing hat the electoral returns shall be sent In bv mail or by exprer.

The Secretary's conclusion is that good service requires that Dr. Eastman shall be enepended from acting a phyaician at Pin Ridge agency, and unless Dr. Eaatman can be assigned or appointed to another place he ia willing to accept within the next fifteen days he most re sign, or he will be removed. The Secre tary finds there is no reasonable ground to find fault with the conduct of acting Agent Brown In thla connection. Commander Henry L. Johnson has been dismissed from the navv. He waa . . , , , . .t 1 Mare Island navv yard in December last on three charges, the principal one of , which is in official language "inrongu negligence, suffering a vessel of the navy to be run upon a rock and haaarded." i The vessel was the Mohican, which John son commanded, and the grounding took place off the Alaska coast. Such is the vessel to which he was assigned after a suspension for several years for the same offense for which he was dismissed. The court found him guilty of the three charges preferred, and sentenced him to dismissal. Secretary Tracy baa approved the findings, and this action has been confirmed by President Harrison.
