veracity of Admiral Dewey, but since the
admiral had denounced as false his pet
tigrews) statement that the admiral had
recognised the Filipinos as allies and had
saluted their flag he (Pettigrew) felt II
incumbent upon him to present the facts
and let the American people judge as to
the admiraIs veracity.
He presented mass OF matter In sup
port of his contention. but nothing new
except a letter from the executive ofiicer
OF the Olympia, Dewey's flagship, who
wrote that while no naval salute was
made 10 the Filipino flag. the Olympia's
flag was dipped to the Filipino colors.
This. Pettigrew contended. was salute
to the Filipino flag. Among other doc
uments quoted by the senator was a pro-
test signed by the American correspond
ents at Manila against the censoring of
their dispatches by Gen. Otis. and the
letter explanatory Of that protest written
by Mr.. Robert NJ Collins. of the Asso-
ctated Press.
Discussing the Spooner bill. now pend
ing, Mr.. Fettigrew quoted dispatch
from Manila, published today. saying
that Judge Taft, head of the Philippine
commission. had expressed upon his ar
rival at Manila surprise that the Filipinos
had not heard of the Spooner BILL by
which," Pettisrew said, Mr.. Taft was to
become the civil governor Of the Philip
pines-tne uespot VI tie irianos-
The reason they had not heard OF II,
Mr.. Pettigrew added. was that the ad-
Yninistration had changed It's mind, and
there was now no intention OF passing the
bill. Pettigrew will conclude his speech
tomorrow.
More Small bills Passed.
The following bills were also passed:
Granting right -of-way for water pipe
line through the public lands to the town
Of Flagstaff. Artz.; authorizing the APP
pointment of George w. Kirkman as
captain in the army: authorizing the SEN

GIRLS IN THE WHEAT FIELDS.

Hundreds Of Kansas girls now have
a pocketbook full Of new, crisp money
MS a result Of three weeks work In the
harvest fields this summer. Many Of
them have earned enough to buy their
winter clothes. There Is no way to tell
the exact number Of girls who were en-
ploycd In the wheat fields this year. but
from the numerous notices Of town girls
going out to do harvest work. rs con-
tanned In the local newspapers OF the
State, = IL believed that no less than
500 women were thus employed. The
work is easy, and thc pay is ~ per day.
They can sit on binder or mower. shock
wheat or rake hay. Just as the farmers
may wish. The days work is from sun
to sun. and the men treat them with
great respect and courtesy. But the girls
will not allow the men to relieve them OF
their share OF the work. Eighteen young
women from Mcpherson this year went
into the fields and earned enough money
blowing and harvesting to take them on
II trip to the Atlantic coast. ut which
place they IRE now. Other girls have
earned enough to send them to school this
winter, and many more have spent their
money for fine clothes and jcwclry. The
