Some time in May last James II. Alsop,
hook-keeper for Meeker, James x Co., alb
seconded from this city, taking with him
several thousand dollars Of his employers
funds. 1t appears now that he took pas
sage on the ship Guiding Star. which ar
rived in Callao on the 10th Of last month.
It was known to the authorities here that
that port was his destination, and the
necessary papers were made out by the
United States Government for his extradi-
ton. On his arrival he was promptly ar
rested by the Callao officials and turned
over to the custody Of the United States
Consul, who will send him back to this
city at once.

The stock syndicate Of Martin Taylor
& Co, which has been doing a lively stroke
Of business in advertising and gathering in
coin Of small operators, is attracting con-
siderable attention by its peculiar manner
Of doing business and personnel of Office
brokers. G. d VI. Mcdonald, who recently
attained a rather unpleasant prominence
in connection withsthe bursted bueket-shop
Transactions, which were ventilated in
tie Police Court, seem to lie the
leading spirits of the enterprise.
Who Martin Taylor may be is not
quite apparent, but from statements made
by a certain gentleman connected with
stock operations that elder OF Mcdonald
Brothers, announced himself to linn in
reply to inquiries of Mr.. Taylor, it is a
fair presum ption that the latter gentleman
is of mythical character. 1t is the rule of
the establishment that subscribers, on
putting down their names for stock, must
sign in the presence of witnesses an agree
ment to the effect that the syndicate shall
use the amount subscribed according to
the best Of their own judgment, and are
entitled 20 ten days notice Of Withdrawal Of
funds. This seems calculated 10 give the
syndicate Il very large margin of ire
sponsibility in any Of the annoying com
plications that may arise in the future.
