History of the Fight.

When the war of independence over
threw British sovereignty and the colo
MES became states, each was free to do
as it chose in matters of commercial reg
uiation, and discordant action caused
troublesome complications. The situa-
ton was peculiarly annoying as regards
Virginia and Maryland. as both were in
terested in the navigation of the Chesa-
peake bay. Virginia complained that she
was losing trade because of the lower
rat ties of duty imposed by Maryland, while
Maryland was in state of alarm over
Virgina's claim to the right to levy tolls
upon vessels passing between the capes
OF the Chesapeake.
General Washington was president OF
the Potomac Company, the predecessor
of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and
it was a matter of direct concern to the
plans of that company that there should
he an agreement between the two states
in regard to the navigation of the Po-
tomac and the Chesapeake bay. In r1So
commissioners appointed by the Two
states were to meet at Alexandria. Gen.
Washington invited them to his residence.
Mount Vernon. There in his parlor was
framed the compact Of 1885, modifica-
ton of which is the purpose of the ne
gotiations now going on

BOTH HOPE TO CONTROL
THE OYSTER INDUSTRY
Contentious Have Been Reigning
Since the Early Colo
NAL Days.

The long dispute between Maryland and
Virginia over the boundary line between
the two states in the Potomac river. in
volving also the regulation of the oyster
season nthe lower Potomac. seems
to be nearing an end. An agreement was
made possible by acts of the legislatures
of the two states last year Among the
steps then taken was the appointment OF
commissioners by the two states to confer
and reach an agreement If possible. The
two commissioners are clothed with plen-
airy powers.
The Maryland commission. of which
Senator Carville D. Benson is chairman,
is preparing to meet the Virginia COM
mission and to enter into negotiations
looking to the settlement of the long con-
troversy. The two commissions will meet
on the Potomac river.
If the disputed boundary question is set
tied at the coming conference a step for
ward will have been taken in encouraging
the Maryland oyster industry in the Po-
tomac This controversy has been pend
ing since Calvert settled his colony in
Maryland.
