The opening Of tho sess ION Of the General

ton Of several resolutions and bills,
MIR, Jordan offered In tho House q new
oyster bill, designed to secure more
revenue from that industry, and to nour-
lsh the shell fish interests of the State
Mr.. Walker offered in tho Senate a..
JOINT resolution asking the Governor
and the Board Of Fisheries to asccr-
tain and report what assistance would
b. rendered by the Federal government
in making a new geodetlo survey The
resolution went over until to-day. Mr.

In the House.
There wero but few Incidents at the
opening OF tho new 1ious'o session yes
ttrday. One feature. However, was the
very full attendance of members.
There were but five ahs.antees, and
several Of these were men who served
In the old body.
There Is an impression, which IS, per
haps. not far wide OF tile mark, that the
rev body Is stronger than the one which
,ust retired, ind 1t Is almost certain
that It contains q larger number Of good
speakers.
Another fact worthy OF note Is tho very
large percentage Of young men In the
body. In tho session of 1897 and 1888
tt ere was what was known as the IN
FAINT Glass; which was In charge OF
I1r #. c. Pitcher, OF Fauquier. The
Infant class has been re1uvenated and
reproduced in tho present House and the
mantle of Mr.. Pitcher has fallen on
his worthy successor from Fauquier,
Major Moses NJ Green. Major Green
viii make good tutor. and II the mem.
bcrs of his class will emulate his exam
pies thair worst habit will be that OF
smoking. ,1A
