Senator Archer protested against be

construed and misipterprated abouI
his position as to higher education. 1;
is said ne was ieh:ing higher educa-
ton. That is not true. He was work <.

wss necessary.
Mr.. B1iSt said no excuse was Leces

appropriating 81 900 for several years
to prosecute the work Of collecting
Confederate rcls. This work should
De done oy the adju.ant general. A
