FLORSCHUTZ ENUMERATED.
No Ground for the Charge That He
Acted as German Spy.


The State Department has examined the
charges made against United States Vice
Consul FlOrschutZ at Coburg, Germany, of
being spy in the employ of the German
government, and has satisfied itself that
there IS no ground for the charges. The
department Immediately upon the publica-
ton of the statement of the man Bentheim
at Atlanta to the effect that Florschutz
had used his office to cloak extensive spy
ing operations directed against the French
war office, forwarded a copy of the publ
cation to the United States consul at Co
burg, with the instruction to make an in
quiry into the matter.
His reply, which has been received at the
State Department, states that he has made
thorough investigation of the charges,
and that he has proven them to be untrue
So the department has dropped the matter.
Since the unofficial denial by the German
authorities of Bentheims allegation sus-
tanned, as it was, by strong representations
on the subject through the German en-
basSy here, the State Department has
never seriously considered these charges.
but for the sake Of formality it was deem
ed well, in Florschutzs interest, that the
record should be made to show his tnno-
cence In the regular manner.

Expires Suddenly While Taking q
Car Ride for Pleasure.

Policeman Jacob H. Heller died suddenly
last night about 7:15 o'clock, while taking
an outing with his wife and children. He
was stricken while on Capital Traction
car at 10Th street and New York avenue
Passengers on the car noticed he was sick
and made every effort to assist him. They
carried him into Thompson's drug store
and sent for physicians. The Emergency
Hospital ambulance responded to an emer-
gency call, but when the drug store was
reached the surgeon in charge found the
officer was dead.
Mrs. Heller had an infant in her arms.
while her husband cared for two older
children. AS the from the navy yard
approached the transfer station the OFF,
Ger got his transfers and almost fmme-
diately thereafter the passengers behind
him noticed him apparently sinking to the
floor. The car was stopped and several
passengers. with the assistance of Special
Policeman Manuel, helped the dying man
from the car, and the subsequent events
have been already told.
Coroner Carr and Deputy Coroner Glaze
brook were called upon. The latter, who
was first to arrive, gave permission for
the removal of the body, while the coroner
afterward gave certificate of death from
natural causes Undertaken Wright re-
moved the body to the late home of the

age he enlisted in the navy and was after
ward made drill master Governor
Island, where he was stationed. From the
station in New York harbor he sent
to Fortress Monroe in charge of $50 re-
cruits, and, although he had really receiv-
ed a promotion, he was termed q land
sergeant. At this station he was made
a member of Battery l, 4th Artillery, and
was soon afterward made first sergeant
He was regarded of the best drill
masters in the army at the time of the
expire ton of his term of enlistment.
In 1856 Officer John c. Daley, now Lieut..
Daley, induced him to make application
for position on the force. Major Walker.
who was then chief of police, was SO favor
ably impressed with Heller that he gave
him a position made vacant by the retire
ment of Policeman Atkinson. During his
thirteen years of service Policeman Heller
did duty chiefly in the first and second
precincts. and was in charge of the first
precinct patrol service at the time of his
death.

Remove Them.
 New York Sun. The French steamer Touraine, which recently arrived from Havre. reports sighting the aban- doned wreck of the bark Siddartha, waterlogged and almost awash. The hapless craft had been deserted three weeks earlier by the bark Cape Race, and, being afioat in the transatlantic steamship lane. she is peril to naVi- gation The Touraine passed close to her in broad day but the thought of a collision on dark night or in a dense fog was not agreeable. This Is only one more of list of experiences which have become familiar to ocean travel, but not on that account the less disquieting or the less urgently de- manding relief. While maritime coun- tries pay some attention to wrecks of their coastlng vessels, especially when within home waters, there is no proyA sion of clearing the ocean of danger ous derelicts Besides. even coasters often drift through the action of the Gulf Stream, or are driven by winds, across the travelled paths of the trans atlantic steamers. Again and again efforts have been made to bring about some international syssam of policing the seas, with a view to removing these sources of peril. 1t is evident that such a system fs needed, because apart from the expense involved in finding wrecks and blowing them up, authori- i ty to do so would need to be conferred by the agreement Of nations, for pro lection against claims for damages. Thus far, however. no practical prog, i ress has been made toward such an agreement. Our country has been prominent in urging 1t; and, indeed the thought that some of those lost vessels of many years past. whose fate has remained mystery, may have gone down as the result of striking such waterIogged dereliets, Is enough to stimulate efforts to clear the seas of these periiss

THE oulcK-FrRrNo CRAZE.
Fast Reaching the Point of Absolute
 Absurdity.


 The Austrian press, including even the military journal Reichswehr. has been giving prominence to the alleged invention of a remarkable quick-fring rife. says the London Globe. This truly wonderful weapon will in the hands of a trained soldier emit no fewer than 2,700 bullets an hour, or forty-flve in one minute. Thus in an engagement which lasted several hours each soldier could loose off a eartload of ammunition, if he had 1t at his el bow; and an army of 50,000 men-a mere handful of men as continental 2 mics go-would require 50,000 cart leads with the firing line In one seri- e < engagement. For a campaign of invasion each soldier would require to be followed by magazine; and shell exploding in a company would produce as many devastating explosions as there were men. If, on the other hand, each soldier marched with, say, his own 200 rounds, he could fire them all in less than five minutes and be left without ammunition for the rest of the engage ment. Such considerations are, of course. extreme; but they show that the .'reductio ad absurdum of quick firing rifles is easily reached. Even now the difficulty is to get enough am= munition to the firing line and to keep control of the fire. If rapidity of fire is much increased without some entire ly new method of bringing up ammu- milton the occasional advantage of be- ing able to pour in deadly hail of bull lets for a minute or two will be dearly purchased at the cost of whole bri- gades perhaps being rendered "hors de combat" for want of ammunition at the beginning of fight What applies to rife fire applies also to artillery; and the armies which have been in a hurry bo arm themselves with so-called quick-firing artillery before the ma chinery WAS perfect or the ammunition problem solved may find themselves in A worse quandary than if they had re- kaineaa their old weapons.

 Queer Coincidences-
 There is a little world in which ws live and the people most certain of this are these who have experienced strange coincidences which seem all most impossible. The New York Tel egraph relates some cases which are authentic. Harry Bradshaw. executive librarian of the Cambridge university library, had a strange adventure in ths Paris library. A book had been lost for nearly a century, and MT Bradshaw went over to see if he could discover it. Search was fruitless, though there was a strong presumption as to the part Of the library where it would be found He stood one day in one of the recesses of the library, describing it's probable appearance to the libra rian, Tabout the height, thickness and similar binding to this, said he, talk ing book out of the shelves.
 It was the missing book.
 The stories of strange eoineidences in the matter of the recovery of lost property are legion. Two years ago 8 lady staying at Long Branch lost gold ring while bathing. A reward was offered and all the boys of the place raked the whole shore up in search of it. But it was never found. The next year the lady was at Long Branek again, and while reading on the shore, never looking for the ring or thinking of it, she turned it up accidentally with her parasol. A woman out bicycling lost jeweled scarfp'n. which she much va Il. She did not " fss it till the end of her jour- ney, and as she had ridden 20 miles the prospect of finding it seemed small. She however, gave notice of her loss to the police. On her return journey, when about mile from home, she punetured the tire of her machine, and on dislnounting to discover the cause found the pin sticking in the tire. I'd Be a Butterfly
