to considerable debate, participated in
by Senators Gibson, ingalls,, Morrill,,

the ground that colored pupils were
excluded from attendance. The bill
went over. Senate bills were then
passed for the relief of soldiers and
sailors who enlisted or served under as

lions, to the end that any differences or
disputes arising between the two gov
ernmentS which cannot be adjusted by
diplomatic agency, may be referred to
arbitration, and be peacefully adjusted
by such means. When the bill to de-
clare unlawful trusts and combinations
in restraint of trade and production was
reached, it was, at the suggestion of
Mr.. Harris, laid aside. Mr.. ingalls,

(Mr. Gibson) and himself had agreed
upon an amendment to be adopted to
the bill in relation to the Louisiana
State University and Agricultural col
