The Isirdseed Trade.

Birdseed forms a considerable item
in the export trade of some of the
Moorish ports. Thus from Laraiche
last year, in a total export valued at
EGO, 79l. the birdseed exported was
valued at 95, $40, and the quantity
was 3,457 quarters. The vice consul
at that port states hat this seed is
never sown apart by tie Moorish
farmers, nor is any special attention
paid TO its cultivation. 1t is sown
with wheat, and when reaped and
thrcshed it is separated by tile coun-
trywomen in sieves. The reason of
this practice is that there is n general
superstition among the Moors that in
very wet seasons the wheat is in part
converted into birdseed, and hence
they SOW the two together. New York

Cherokee Con ference Postponed.

MUsxoGEE. L T, Aug. 1L-Negotiations
with the Indian tribes of the Territory
have ceased until the first part of October.
1t is the aim of the Commission to give
the Cherokees one more chance before
making terms or treaties with other
tribes, as their acceptance of the Govern
ment's offer would simplify the work.
The Commissioners will therefore be pre-
sent at Tahlequah at the meeting of the
Council in October.
Should the Governments offers be again
rel ,cted the work before the Commission
will probably be the settlement of tribes
on the Strip according to the treaty of
1856, whereby each Indian will be allotted
100 acres of land. After this allotment
there will be about 1000, 900 acres to be
thrown open TO settlement. The lands,
now occupied by the various tribes would
then be rendered vacant and would like
wise be thrown open to settlement. The
probability is therefore that millions of
acres will be opened some time next year.

NEW YORK Aug. 17.-Eben s. Allen,
the defauIting ex-president of the Forty

Company, who pleaded guilty to two in
dictments charging him wi Overissue of
over 500, 600 worth of the stock of the
company, was sentenced by Judge Glider
sleeves Yesterday to seven years. impris-
onment at hard labor on each Indictment,
the maximum penalty for the offense.
The court room was crowded when
Judge Gildersleeve entered court When
be was asked what he had to say why
sentence should not be pronounced upon
him Allen turned and looked at his cOun-
sci but did not utter a syllable. Mr. Eus-
It's, after some deliberation, said there
was nothing to add to what had already
been presented in regard to the previous
good character of the prisoner.
Judge Gildersleeve, then addressing
Allen, said: Mr.. Allen, you pleaded
guilty to two indictments. I am informed
by the district attorney that, although
other charges could be preferred against
you, none other than those to which you
have pleaded will be preferred. I have
received letters from a number of friends
of yours, and many persons have been TO
see me with regard to your case, but after
a very careful consideration of the
whole matter. taking into consid-
GRAFTON that punishment could be
inflicted on you for the charges
which are not pressed, 1 see no reason
why l should not impose the maximum
penalty. The sentence of the court is that
you be confined in State prison at hard
labor for seven years on this indictment
which I hold in my hand, and under the
other Indictment that you be also confined
at hard labor for the period of seven years
to begin at the expiration of the first
term"
Allen turned sickly pale as he was led
back to the pen. He looked around the
court room. None of his friends except
his brother was present Even his wife,
whose extravaganza is said to be the cause
of her husbands ruin, failed to come to

was an actress. After their marriage she
was unwilling to give up the stage and in
duced her husband to furnish the money
for a theatrical venture at one OF
of New York's second-class theaters.
Mrs. Allen distributed her bus
bands money with a lavish hand; she
bought every thing she wanted or thought
she wanted and every thing that any one
else thought she wanted. The dressing
rooms of the theater were fitted up with a
luxurious elegance that would have taken
the breath away from the average actress.
The furnishings were of as costly a char
