A Big House Robbed.
Special to the Globe.

BosToN, Sept. 6.-For several days re-
ports have been in circulation in this city
OF large defalcation in leading dry goods
house. Inquiry shows that the defalcation,
II 1t may be so termed, was confined to one
OF the departments Of Jordan, Marsh & Co.,
the head OF which department. had violated
the confidence of the firm and by collusion
with sellers, had his bills held back until
the sum, total, amounted to between $500. 600
and $3.50, 900. These bills have been coming
IN very rapidly within the last two or three
weeks, up to which time the firm supposed
that they had settled or accounted for nearly
all claims or debts connected with the de-
partment in question. The real object of
the guilty party in entering into what
seemed to have been conspiracy with
sellers is not definitely known. Mr..
Eben Jordan, the senior member of the
firm of Jordan, Marsh e. Co., SAYS that the
flrm flrst became aware of wrong doings
that had been going on in one of their de-
partments number of weeks ago. The
matter had been thoroughly investigated
and the guilty parties were known. The
amount of the bills which had been pre-
sented to the firm for payment was in the
neighborhood of $175, 900. The firm will
refuse to pay this amount, acting under the
advice of their counsel, and if necessary
will carry it into the courts. Mr.. Jordan
also stated that negotiations with the firms
and interested parties were being conducted
and compromise was very probable. The
affair was one that was liable to happen to
any firm doing an extensive business. Mr..
Jordan declined to state the name of the
department or parties interested and also
pleasantly but firmly refused to make any
statement whatever concerning the alleged
conspiracy.

American Railways in Mexico.


CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 6.-The Ameri-
can projectors of the famous TopoIovampe
railroad will probably hear from the Mexi-
can department of public works, and unless
good account of their stewardship can be
rendered they will suffer forfeiture of the
land and other advantages granted during
1878. 1t will be remembered that that en-
terprise created much comment in the
American press, and congress was solicited
to furnish money for makidg surveys of the
route, which extends across Texas to Eagle
Pass, thence across the impossible mountain
ranges of Mexico to Topolovampo harbor,
which Ben Butler. the principal schemer,
declared would rival San Francisco, and
destroy Guaymas, but the projectors have
done nothing. No building has been done,
and Topolovampo remains the crude and
shallow harbor it has been for ages. These
matters will have to be explained, if not
contiscation will promptly follow. Besides
Butler, ex-senator Window, Wendell Phil
lips, eXGov. Rice of Massachusetts, ex-
Mayor Prince of Boston, and others we'll
known in New England, are involved.
These gentlemen commenced seven years
ago full of enthusiasm and secured the val
liable franchise they now hold by oiling the
leading politicians of the Montezuma Re-
public with $500 worth of stock. The mat
ter is causing much comment in the Mexi-
can press.

Reorgamizing the League.

Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Gas is well
known, the cities Of Providence and Buffalo
have never paid the league and there have
been several attempts to get rid of them.
This year, for the first time, good oppor-
tunity has been presented. It is said on
good authority that Providence has already
disposed Of Manager Bancroft and Pitcher
Radbourne to the Athletic club of this city
and that Joe Start may also go to Washing
ton, the league franchise Of Providence
also going to the capital. The league
cities will be Washington, Phila-
delphia, New York and Boston. Cincinnati
and Pittsburg will be taken in place of
Detroit and Buffalo. 1t is known here
that Spalding of the Chicago club
and Henry Y. Lucas are bent on
having things so. Cincinnati will make a
good paying league team, The old Union
grounds will be used. In order to satisfy
the American association for taking in
Pittsburg, the league will allow an Ameri-
can association club in Chicago, the under
standing being that there will be no con-
fiicting dates. The hackers of the Cincin-
natl club are said to be Edgar M. Johnson,
law partner of Gov. HoadIy, J. r. Nc
Lean Of the Cincinnati Enquirer and George
Gerke and Justus Thome, the wealthy
brewers. It is understood that Mr.. John
son and Mr.. Mclean conferred with Mr..
Spalding at Saratoga recently. The re-
suit is said to be satisfactory, and Mr.
Spalding returned to Chicago Saturday
Al Reach of the Philadelphia club met the
Western gentlemen, and, it is understood,
has agreed to assist in Nir. Johnson's cleo
ton to the presidency of the league.

Cherokee-Negro TROUBLES.

Special TO the GiODe.
LITTLE Rock, Ark. Sept. 6.-From an
Indian territory special it is learned that
there is q growing bitterness between the
Cherokees and negroes who claim citizen
ship in the nation. The freed men number
between 1000 and 5000, and enjoy all the
rights ard privileges of native born Indians.
The present troubles is caused by freedmen
claiming a share Of the $500, 600 recently
paid the Cherokee nation by the United
States government for land ceded to it by
the Cherukees This claim is questioned
by the Indians, who assert that the freed
men, not being of Cherokee blood, are not,
therefore, entitled to any share of money.
The colored men base their claim on the
treaty of 1866, which, they say accorded
them the rights of native-born Cherokees.
Some time ago Senator Dawes visited the
nation and investigated the matter
and announced that he would make
a report to congress next December,
recommending that the freedmen be paid
some S11S, 600, their prorata of the $780,
900. The question VIII be discussed in the
Cherokee legislature which meets in No
vember 1t is probable, however, that
congress may decide it. The assertion is
made that two-thirds of the Cherokees re-
fused to sanction the sale of land in ques-
ton and an effort to annul the transaction
will be made. Trouble OF a serious nature
is apprehended between the Cherokees and
the freedmen in the event of the validity OF
the sale and their claim to S11S, 600 of the
purchase money being sustained.

CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.
Red Flags. Red Feathers. Red Rib
bOms and EnceMdiarY Speeches.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The red banners of
socialism Haunted in Market square here
to-day. Professions Of men, women, boys
and girls were marching and countermarch-
ing. Each woman had either crimson
feather in her hat or wore a piece of red
ribbon pinned to the bosom of her dress.
The men had red bands about their hats,
and more of the same material fastened to
their coats. The children wore red stock
ings. The occasion of this display was the
Socialistic picnic, organized in opposition to
the Trades assembly demonstration to-mor
row, because the latter organization had
voted to taboo the red flags. Speeches to
the assembling crowd were made by Messrs.
Fielden, Parsons and S,i1s. A TRADE
against capital was INDUCED in by ali the
speakers each putting much stress upon
the assertion that poverty is closely allied
to social degradation. A red flag was pre-
sented to the Metal Workers soci-
ETY.. Then the crowds cheered and
the band struck up a lively air.
Though chilled, the raw wind from off the
lake and through the bay threatening rain,
the socialists formed in line and set out to
walk to Ogden's grove, three miles away.
Between 1000 and 4, 600 were in line. The
previous advertisement of the affair had es
timated that 10, 600 would be the number.
A noticeable feature was the absence of a
drum major or any leaders. Neyerthe-
less, the procession got through all right.
Along the line of march, however. but little
excitement was manifested. In addition to
the usual mottos were banners bearing de-
nunciation legends against Mayor Harrison
and Gov. Oglesby for their respective parts
in the Chicago street car strike and the
Lamont quarry trouble. In the neighbor-
hood of Division and Halsted streets, when
two-thirds of the route had been covered,
occurred the first expression of public Ell
thusiasm. Deafening cheers greeted the
banners denouncing Mayor Harrison. No
disorderly act was committed by those COM
prising the procession and at the grounds
dancing and beer-drinking was continued
to late hour.

meeting of the New York Bar association
an address on the professional duty of law
yers in giving advice to criminals 1t has
generally been held that man on trial
ought to have all his rights defended by his

unprofessional to instruct an unarrested

the law and robbed his dupes for more than
ten years. The association will be asked

subject.

poor base runner. In his last eleven games
