The delay in the ratification of the

such.

The production of Bronson Ho-
wards great drama of the late Civil
war, Shenandoah" which Jacob
Lift will present at the Grand Opera
house, St. Paul, during the week of
the State Fair. is the same which Mr..
LIT used at the Broadway theater,
New York City, last May, which was
SAID at that time to be the handsomest
production that had ever been given
on the stage of a New York theater.
The great feature of the Lift produce
tlon is the battle scene which comes at
the end of the third act. 1t is SO real
that 1t becomes actual. The Union
troops are in full retreat. driven back
by the Confederates; the day seems
lost. Suddenly in the distance are
heard shouts. "Sheridan is coming. I"
is the cry and in a moment defeat is
changed into victory. Squadron
after squadron of cavalry, and com
pany after company of infantry dash
across the stage, followed by the
heavy artillery. 1t is a wonderful
piece of stage mechanism and realis-
tic to a degree. The company in
cludes fifty horses and over two hun
dred people.

The Budget has from the first been
conservative on the war in the Philip
pinee, and we look forward now to
the time when the natives shall have
self government and work out their
own salvation, even as the Canadians
are doing with only the mystic chord
of love reaching out to the mother
land. But when any one commits the
sacrilege of comparing Washington
and Aguinaldo we must lift our voice
in protest against such libel on the
memory and dissertation of the grave
of the Father of His Country.
Washington served in the army
without pay and sacrificed his for
tune for the liberty of his native land !;
Aguinaldo snapped off a rebellion
for bank account, and has never
known the day that he wouldn't sell
the liberties of his people for for
tune for himself. Washington fought
against despotic government and un-
just taxation; Aguinaldo is fighting
government that offers his people
liberty and has never taxed them q
cent, but paid twenty millions for the
right to make them free. Washing
ton fought a government whose yoke
was growing heavier year by year,
while Aguinaldo is fighting a govern
ment that has lifted the yoke of Spain
from the necks OF the Filipinos. :

inroads in the two regiments. Mean
while small detachments were sent out
to find a favorable point of attack,
but night fell without their being sue

That night the American force camped
at Calumpit, but doggediy took up the

Malolos and found the enemy very
strongly entrenched along the north
banks Of the Bagbag and Calumpit
rivers. After driving in the insurgent
outposts the regiment was compelled to
return by order of Major General Mac
Arthur. In this movement one enlisted
man was killed and three wounded.
The regiment remained in camp IN
the rice fields and bamboo jungle near
Malolos until April "a, when began that
memorable march on Calumpit and the
Rio Grande river, in the crossing of

At a. m. April Is the regiment moved
forward on the right OF the Manila &
Dagupan railway tracks to the banks of
the Bagbag river, making the approach
in skirmish line, Montana on the right
and Kansas on the left of the track.
An armored car contained the ordnance
with the column and in reply to the
insurgent fire the guns aboard the car
opened with fearful racket. The in
surgents had cut the bridge and on
their side Of the river had dug trenches
10 feet deep. These trenches We're torn

Colonel Kessler's report of the for

General English of this state, follows:
'On the night of March "a the regi-

the water, while tropical sun beat
down upon them with all the intensity
of early summer in that latitude. For
ward rushed the yelling regiments,
while the insurgents fled before them.
In the engagement Montana lost three
commissioned officers wounded, one en-
listed man killed and four enlisted
men wounded. Two rapid-fire guns
were captured from the enemy in the
hand-to-hand conflict. Luna's force,
broken and with great losses, retreated
for six miles. The close of the engage
nent was marked by a terrific rain
storm just as the American column
had reached Apalit. two miles beyond
the bridge.
The regiment was quartered at Apalit
five days. during which time a squad
OF five men, under Major Shields, went
out to the insurgent lines under flag

prisoners.
