IS AN OYSTER A FISH?
On This Question Hangs the Whols Matter
OF Virginiaus Taking BiYaives in Potomac.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
BALTIMORE, MD, Feb. 26.-There is
every Indication that the long existing
dispute between Maryland and Virginia
over the ownership Of the oysters in the
Potomac River will be settled by the
United States Supreme Court, and that
that august tribunal will be called upon
to decide whether in legal phraseoloSy
an oyster is a fish.
The commission appointed by the Mary
land Legislature Is now ready to meet
and confer with a, similar body to be ap-
pointed by the General Assembly of Eir-
ginia and take up the fisheries question
in all it's aspects.
The most interesting question is that
relating to the taking of oysters in the
Potomac River by the oystermen of the
OLD Dominion Years ago the lower wa :.
tcrs of the Potomac We're the seed grounds
where Maryland planters replenished
their beds. The freshets from the mour-
tains make it impossible for the oysters TO
live to their full development in the Po-
tomac, and the Gull law of this State has
always provided that the Potomac oys-
tiers may be taken in smaller sizes than
the oysters in the Chesapeake Bay. IN
recent years the Virginia oystermen, It
is said, have been taking these oysters
and carrying them away in spite of the
fact that the bed of the Potomac is in
Maryland. They claim the right to take
the oysters under the terms of the old
settlement between the two States, which,
while giving Maryland the ownership Of
the bed of the river. reserves to Virginia
the common right of piscary with Mary.
land.
The whole question hinges on whether
the right to fish carries with it the right
to take oysters; or, to put it briefly, is
the oyster a fish? The question has never
been passed on directly by any court and
has puzzled the lawyers of both States
for years.
At the coming conference between the
representatives of the two States it is
the intention OF the Maryland commits
soners to insist that the right of COM
mon fisheries does not include the right
to take oysters, and they will endeavor
to have the Virginia representatives agree
to an interstate compact to this effect.
There is little hope of accomplishing this,
and in the event Of failure the whole
matter will be taken to the courts afathe
United States for determination. The
ruatter will be brought up by the arrest
of q Virginia boat taking oysters in the
Potomac. The latter State will apply
for a writ of habeas corpus and the
question whether an oyster is a fish or
not can then be carried up to the Su-
rreme Court of the United States for
determination.
