TIE OYSTER QUESTION.
Gov. O'Ferran Wants :Armed Launches to
Patrol the Virginia Beds.

KAtEOi the virginia b0ubs
RICHMOND. Va, Feb. 2O.-Governor
O'Ferrall to day sent TO the legislature
special message on the oyster ques-
ton. He refers to the fact that oysters
in Tangier and Pocomoke sounds, on the
Maryla side, are very scarce while
the beds Oh the Virginia side are very
rich. For this reason the dredgers
from Maryland are determined at all
hazards to make depredations on the
Virginia beds. Tho governor also re-
fers TO the recent fight on Tangier
sound and urges the legislature TO take
steps at once to put him in position to
defend Virglnia's honor and protect her
interests.
he recommended the passage at once
of an act authorizing the construction
and purchase of two steam launches,
strong and swift and armed with guns
of improved patents and long range.
He thinks that the cost will not ex-
coed $4,000. He also recommends the
creation OF an oyster commission OF Two
members to be elected by the legisla.
ture or appointed by the executive. He
would also be pleased if there could be
such reciprocity between Maryland and
Virginia as would allow the law officers
Of this State to pursue violators of the
law in Tangier and Pocomoke sounds
into the State of Maryland and there
make arrests.
The governor received this afternoon
telegram from Capt. w. e. Hudgins,
OF the Virginia oyster navy steamer
Chesapeake, saying that Monday night
he had spirited engagement IN Tan
gier sound with some fifteen or twenty
Maryland oyster dredgers. He sue
ceeded in capturing the schooners w.
e. Price and G. W. Stevenson, both of
Crisfeld. Md with their crews, except
the captains, who escaped in their yawl
boats, and drove the rest of the tres
passers out of Virginia waters. All the
captured men were turned ever to the
authorities OF Accomac county. The
governor autographed his thanks and
congratulations to Captain Hudgins.
