MUSIC AND ORA MA,
"a MILK WHITE FLAG"

Next Wednesday night the Crawford
Grand opera house will present for the
first time, Hoyt's latest and mos. sue
cessful play. The best thing about the
Hoyt plays is that one does not bear the
least resemblance 10 another, save in the
fact that they are all of satirical tinge.
and thus it is that when the announce
ment of a new play by Hoyt is pro-
mulgated, the public pays its money
with the most perfect assurance that it
will be given an opportunity Of witness
ing something absolutely unique No
American author mas displayed such
wonderful versatility in securing a
ground work for his plays as Mr.. Hoyt.
He can turn about in almost any sec
ton OF the country and discover ma
terial from which he can draw the in
spiration necessary to the completion OF
a comedy, and once with the idea-well,
everybody knows what he can do with
Il in the way Of establishment. In his
very latest comedy called "a Milk White
Flag which Mr.. Hoyt has brought his
attention to the national guard and he
has treated it with such originality, such
broad yet telling humor and wit that II
is said ehe fun becomes irresistible. "A
Milk White Flag" like all OF Mr.. Hoyt's
has no great plot or story, but
1t is different from all his other plays
in this respect, that It Is more preten-
tious, requiring a cast OF fifty people
and two carloads Of scenery, properties
and costumes. The piece is spectacular
in effect and so full OF music that 1t
could be legitimately called An opera.
The cast is claimed to be the strongest
Mr.. Hoyt has ever organized. and Is the
same which presented the piece duting
it's successful run at Hoyt's New York
theatre for more than 200 nights. All
the scenery used in the production,
which is carried by the company, and
which has been enthusiastically praised
by the critics everywhere. is from the
brush OF the celebrated artist. Mr.. Ar
thur Voegtlin.
RAILROAD JACK.
Railroad Jack" was presented a, the
Crawford Grand last night to fair
sized audience. The show opened with
a vaudeville first part that was good.
Harry Fitzgerald is exceedingly clever
IN his lightning changes. presenting
alone play of tweHty-seven characters.
II was a novelty. The play is an ex-
citing melo-drama in four acts with
plenty OF blood and thunder, and has TO
some extent the elements of the tank
drama. with an exciting railroad scene.
However, the play seemed TO please the

WEEKS t0F OBSTRUCTION.
Proceedings Of the Reiclisrath Marked by
Violence and Rowdyism.

Violence and Rowdyism.
VIENNA. Nov. 29.-The proceedings
Of the reichsrath during the last eight
weeks have been marked by obstruc.
tion, rowdyism and violence un.
paralleled in the history of parlia-
mentary government in Europe. Count
Badeni has been endeavoring to secure
the passage through the reichsrath of a
bill prolonging the Austro- Hungarian
compromise for another year The op-
position, while not necessarily object
ing to the extension of the agreement,
declared that it should never be ratified
for any term by the Badeni cabinet,
their object being to force Count Ba-
deni to retire on it's becoming evident
that he would be unable to carry
measure Of the highest interest to the
dual monarchy. He expressed himself
as confident of being able to force the
bill through before the last day Of this
year, the limit of the period for passing
it. But the extraordinary incidents of
the last fortnight have forced him to
retire i'll spite of the emperor's known
desire that he should retain Office.

Sc meme for Cuban Autonomy
Far From Satisfactory at
Washington.
Parliament,a as Arranged, Placed
Completely Under Span
iSh Control.
Governor General Of the Island
Also Given Unlimited
Authority.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90 Spain's lat
est scheme for autonomy for Cuba is
not we'll received in Washington. The
publication made i'll The Official Ga.
zette of Madrid, containing summary
of the royal DEGREES, has produced
most unfavorable impression.
The net effect of the autonomous
scheme, according to Washington opin.
ion, is that every vital power is left in
the hands of the crown and its governor
general.
A home parliament is created, but it
Is parliament without power if it at
tempts to run counter to the royal will.
The governor general may suspend or
dissolve the chambers at will If par
Lament could be elected that would
actually and fairly represent the peo.
pie of Cuba it would still be anything
but an independent body, being always
subject to the governor general. But a
fairly representative parliament is inn
possible under the condition imposed.
Spanish Put In Control.
The two houses are given equal ar.
thority, but one of these hcusc.. Inc
council of administration, must be COM
posed wholly Of Spaniards. Eighteen
are elected and II are appointed by the
governor general. The Spanish ele-
ment has but to elect of the Is and it
has majority of the whole body
Under fair suffrage system they
would be able to do this, and under the
restrictions upon the suffrage which
prevail in Cuba the effect would simply
be the election of pro.Spanish council
of administration, thoroughly sub
servient to the crown and the governor
general.
By the terms of the decree the gov.
ernor general is declared the supreme
authority in the island, and the mean.
ing of this and of other conditions i'm.
posed is that the Cubaps would be
allowed to amuse themselves electing q
few members Of useless and impotent
parliament, while Spain goes on ruling
the island from Madrid as before.

REGARD TO HAYTI.
The Kaiser Warned That Any Scheme Of
Annexation or Any Excessive
Demonstration Will Not
BE Tolerated.

BERLIN, Nov. 30. The state depart
ment at Washington has requested
United States Ambassador White to
ascertain exactly the intentions of Ger
many with respect to the claims of Herr
Lueders, whose recent imprisonment in
Hayti has caused friction between the
German and Haytien governments.
Mr.. White has also been instructed If
any schemes of annexation exist or If
there is an intention to make an exces-
sive demonstration with view OF un-
duly Furnishing Hayti, to intimate to
the German government that the
United States could not tolerate either
of the courses before mentioned, though
in principle having no objection to Ger

State Department Knows Nothing OF the
Canadian Answer.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-The state
department declined to say anything
respectinc the answer of the Canadian
government on the seal questions, de.
tails of which were telegraphed to the
press from Ottawa, further than to
state that no communication on the
s-biect had been received from either
the British embassy or from Ottawa.
The published report Of the confer.
ence which took place between Mr..
Foster and the British and Canadian
representatives ON the 10th inst, shows
that the proposition now reported from
Ottawa as having been formulated
by the Canadian government was pro-
posed at that time and definitely de-
clined by Mr.. Foster. 1t was then dis
tinctly stated that the government OF
the United States could not consent to
make the seal question dependent upon
the complex question of reciprocity, re-
vision of our tariff, and other matters,
unless there should be suspension OF
the slaughter of the seals while the ne
gotiations and legislation were pending.
It is not likely the president will re.
verse the decision of this government
upon q renewal of the proposition.

FAMINE is THREATENED.
Monte Cristo, Wash, Cut on From the
Outside World by a Flood.

Outside world by flOOd.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 29.-The de-
struction of nearly thirty miles of the
Everett and Monte Cristo railway by
the recent floods threatens to cause a
famine in the small mining town of
Monte Cristo, which is cut off from the
ouside world.
w. r. Biggers, i'll company with ten
other men, have reached this city, hav-
ing walked distance of thirty miles.
Mr. Biggers said there was already a
scarcity Of food in Monte Cristo, and
that the only salvation for it's 500 peo.
pie was to get out as quickly as they
could. The storekeepers have restricted
the amount of sales to each individual.
The day before Mr.. Biggers left 40
men, women and children had started
to walk to Tunnel No. /. Most of the
way is through snow two feet deep.
Speaking of the damage done to the
railroad, Mr.. Biggers said:
"In some places the track, roadbed,
steel rails, ties, ballast and all, have
been swept out Of sight The rails were
broken as if they were glass or bent
into all sorts of fantastic shapes by the
terrible food, which rose to a height Of
30 feet over the ordinary position of
the river, and tore everything in its
path like tornado. Huge boulders as
big as an ordinary room were lifted out
of their resting places and hurled to
one side. One span of a bridge over
the river was taken 400 feet below and
