Pingree Not Candidate.

DETROIT, Sept. Ex-Governor Pin
gree to-day gave out for publication a
lengthy statement in which he declares
that he will not be a candidate this
fall for Mayor of Detroit. Says the
Governor:
THE only consideration which might
have led me to accept a nomination
would have been the opportunity Of
standing upon platform for munich
pal ownership of street railways and b
cent fares, under the plan proposed by
my associates and myself. 'rhe posi-
tive refusal, however, of r. z. Wilson,
the principal owner of the street rail-
ways, to negotiate further, and the alb
solute withdrawal of his offer OF sale,
end our efforts to make 3-cent fares a
reality under the proposed pian."

CONSUL FLORSCHULZ.
No Ground for Charges That He is
Spy for Germany -

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. = The
State Department has examined the
charges made against United States
Consul Florschulz at Coburg, Germany,
of being spy in the employ of the Ger
man Government, and has satisfied it
self that there is no ground for the
charges.
The Department, Immediately upon
the publication of the statement of the
man Bentheim, at Atlanta, to the effect
that Florschulz had used his office to
cloak extensive spying operations di-
rected against the French War Office,
forwarded a copy of the publication to
the United States Consul at Coburg,
with the instruction to make inquiries
into the matter. His reply, which has
been received, states that he has made
thorough investigation of the charges,
and that he has proven them to be un-
true. So the Department has dropped
the matter.

even more important factors here than
heretofore. There is scarcely a COM
pany at any Important theafer that
does not include at least one American,
while the music halls are simply over
run with American performers. The
three leading American companies,
Goodwins, 1.-The Belle of New York
and De Wolfe Hoppers, continue to be
among the most popular in London. In
Hopper's case the early indications
that lei Captain would not prove a
success here were completely at fault.
Now, in addition to filing the stalls,
the most expensive portion of the house,
it has a long line waiting nightly for
the gallery and pit, which is the surest
sign of English success.
Gertrude Elliott, who has made such
a favorable impression here, leaves
Goodwin's company and joins the Court
Theater for the production of Captain
Robert Marshall's new play, "A Royal
Family" which will be produced in
the middle of October
Fernald's Moonlight Blossom pro-
duced Thursday at the Prince of Wales
Theater, meets with only moderate
praise from the London critics. 1t
f1avors something of the ''Mikado," but
the leading parts played by Forbes
Robertson and Mrs. Patrick Campbell
are little more than elaborate speeches.
The picturesque Japanese scenery
saved the performance from tedious
ness. This American playwright now
has two works ON the London boards.
The illness of Nat Good win roc,,l+
ing from surgical operation, will con-
fine him for another week.
Miller Kent, who is taking Goodwin !
part, is doing SO we'll that he may con-
tinue Goodwin's play herewith a new
company, thus enabling Goodwin to
keep his American engagements and al
the same time satisfy his London
Agents.

PARDON OF DREYFUS.
De Gallifet's Proclamation Not
Well Received.

PARIS, Sept. %. = The proclamation
of the Minister of War, General de Gal
lifet, to the army, declaring the Drey-
fus incident closed, has excited keen
opposition among the Dreyfusards,
Radicals and Socialists.
1t is rumored that an attempt will be
made to oust the War Minister from
the Cabinet. 1t is said he issued the
proclamation without consulting h.
fellow Ministers. Some of the papers
criticising him are in close touch with
several of the Ministers, and General
de Gallifet is credited with saying:
They want to get rid of me. I am
quite prepared to go. But don't mean
to go alone. Either all of them disap-
