Indian Territory Question.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-Oficials OF
the War Department are of the opinion
the Interior Department has not made
out proper case for the employment Of
troops as a posse comitatus in Indian
Territory. Agent Wisdom's dispatch,
on which the application for troops is
based, states in one place they are wanted
to run down band OF robbers, and in
another that the treaties require the In
dams should be protected. There is no
question the employment OF troops under
the first point would be clearly illegal,
and as to the second there is no evidence
the Indians themselves have suffered or
appealed for protection. Acting Secre-
tary Doe has referred the application to
the Attorney General for an opinion.

OF THEFLAMS, AFUNNY PLAY
Hoey Is Said to Be Making
the Greatest Hit Of His
Life.
THE DERBY WINNER TONIGHT
Opens at the Grand With a
Company That Has No
Superior.

This, Sunday, evening at the Metro
politan opera house will occur the first
performance in this city of the new
musical farce comedy called "The
Flams," by Harry and Edward Paulton,
the authors of "Erminie," "Niobe," etc.
Exceptional interest is manifested in
the event from the fact that this comic
play will introduce here for the first
time Old Hoss Hoey, of "a Parlor
Match'' fame, as "a lone STAR" In this
play Hoey is described as playing the
role of tramp, at which he is incom-
parable. The play is in three
acts, the first representing a
view of the drawing room in
Jacob Van Kopf's summer residence
The second the garden and terrace at the
Van Kopf's summer villa. and the third
The reception room in the same resi-

auction of the new play is the best that

steam. 1.-The Flams" are two bad
brothers. One is q tramp, the other
roof garden exhibit, quite blase and with
tendency to embonpoint OF
the gall. In the first act these
tender relatives meet at the
country house of a man who was MADE
to fit just such play as this. an old fel
low who wants to introduce his daugh
tiers to some English lords. The Flams
impersonate the lords and have lots of
fun. This is the total sum of the plot.
1t is plot that does not lntrude itself
oftener than is necessary. 1t comes on
at S:l5, and then puts ON its street
clothes and goes over to the hotel and
plays solitaire until I0:45. when it puts
in an appearance for brief moment.
During the rest of the time Old Hoss
Hoey, John c. Rice, the Sisters Merri-
lees and several others engage to keep
the audience from getting lonesome.
Hoey does his Monte Carlo and his High
land laddie specialties, sings song
about John Brown, which is very COM
ical indeed, and in the last act tan
giles himself up in suit of armor
in a very funny scene. His scenery in

said armor which is furnished with
wall pocket of the Schlitz pattern and
only lacks trolley and an action for
damages to be trailer coming round a
curve. Mr.. Hoey's fun is of the rough
and ready order, blu. it is infectious.
There is something juvenile and spoE-
taneous about all his efforts that puts
his audience in sympathy with him
from the start. His heavenly voice has
not been oiled since last season. But
| its timber is there. The management
says Hoey has put in couple of planks
since he was here last season.
John G. Rice is an able cOadjutor Of
Hoey, and succeeds Charlie Evans. He
Is lively on his feet, dances like a
cricket and sings drunken song with
a pleasant voice. His dance with one
of the Merrilees Sisters, ending with
lettering her over his head, has in it
the elements of an athletic sensation.
The Merrilees Sisters danced nimbly
and sang happily last evening. Their
round dancing in trio is novel as well
! as bewildering effect, very jauntlly
thrown off. Their excellence is in tine
splendid time of the ensemble and the
grace of the individual performers. In
the last act some living pictures are
given-twO or three genuine efforts and
a half dozen grotesques.

One OF uneHnoBlest men in the world
Is Bob Pritchard, and it seems the
very irony of fate that his life should
be darkened by the ever present
shadow of a great sorrow. He has
everything on earth that man could

home. family, health and friends-but
over all there broods supersensitive
conscience that destroys his happiness.
Morbid fits come on him once in awhile,
and he steals off alone to commune
with himself. His wife understands
the cause of his sorrow. but he is trying

upon a chop.
