Virginia Delegation Will likely Use Influence
Against the Bill
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
There was a slight stir to-day among
the members of the Virginia delegation
III Congress, when they saw in The
Times OF to-day an account Of the
scheme for reapportioning the State Of
Virginia that was agreed upon last night
by the Committee on Privileges and Elcc-
tions of the Virginia Senate.
The question of reapportionment has,
for obvious reasons, commanded the
close attention of the Congressman erer
since it first began to be agitated, and
every plan that has been formulated has
been carefully examined by them, and
the comments upon them have been va
red, but now that a plan has come out
Of the committee and Is about 10 go
before the Legislature, the interest at
the Washington end Of the line is ma
tcrially increased.
The members from Virginia have held
several i.npromptu consultations on the
subject to-day, and some emphatic views
have been expressed.
They all stand together in the opinion
that there Is no necessity for reappor-
tionnent, either under the Federal stat
ute or for political reasons They point
out the fact that ali the districts are
Democratic as they stand now, and say
they don't see how anything is TO ne
gained by g change
Leaving out the question of the Federal
law upon the subject, and considering
The reason assigned by those advocating
reapportionnent, namely, that 1t is nee
essaly in order to equaliZe the districts
as far as possible. certain members call
attention to the fact that the Seventh
