Until very few ycars ago the relics

ofacials in a quandary.
The federal authorities had taken pos
session of the relics soon after the out
break of the Civil War, when the Union
troops invaded Arlington, the beautiful
home Of Gen. Robert e. Lee, on the Po-
tomac, opposite Washington. Now, the
mansion at Arlington bad been built by
General Washingtons adopted son, George
Washington Parke Custis, and after the
death of Martha Washington. the builder
of Arlington had removed from Mount
Vernon to his new home the silver plate,
china and other household articles which
had been bequeathed to him. The only
daughter of the household In time mar
ried Robert Il. Lee, who came to make his
home at Arlington, and thus the beginning
OF the war for the Union found the
priced Washington relics left behind in
room in the basement OF the home sud
denly abandoned by the Confederate chief
tain.
When Arlington was converted into
Federal Army camp the captured relics
were sent to the Patent Office. at Wash
ington. for safe keeping A few years
after the close OF the war Mrs. Il. L.
Lee petitioned that the Washington relics
be returned to her. and President John
son, after a consultation with his Cabi-
net, ordered that this be done. but
Congress entered a vigorous protest and
passed a law prohibiting the Secretary
Of the Interior from allowing the articles
to be removed from his department The
matter hung hre for years, and then
when the government by act Of Congress
paid to the son of General Lee the sum
OF $4,000 IN settlement Of his claim
for the eonfscation of the Arlington
estate many of the government officials
deemed that this payment embodied
purchase price for the Washington
relics, and under the supposition that
they were government property the
trophies were transferred TO the National
Museum.
