[Special to The Times-Dispatch. 1 Lexington, Va.. April 9?Special spring drills begin at the Virginia Mil? itary institute tliis week. The weather for the past month lias been so bad. and Wie raradc ground has frequently boon In si.ch condition, that little drilling could be done. In spite of these ob? stacles, the cadets have worked hard at the limited number of drills which have been possible, and the command? ant has pronounced them proficient in company and battalion drill, both close and extended order. The special drills were to ha%'e boon begun on Friday, but the weather pre? vented; consequently they will betaken up as soon a,s possible this week, and will be pushed rapidly until the com? ing of the army inspector on April IS. Those drills compris.e first aid i? the wounded and litter drill; signal drill, including the use of flags, heliog%tph and cavalry buzzer; artillery drill, in? cluding the use of howitzers, breech loading rifles and Catling guns; topog-' | raphy, including position, road and reconnaissance sketches; practical mil? itary engineering, including the con- < st ruction of trenches, obstacles and bridges, and field exercises, including the pitching of wall and shelter tents and the forcing of defiles.

This spring, even though in numbers the battalion is not as stvong as formerly, on account of the dismis? sal of tho third class in February, there is no doubt that the Virginia Military institute will again be desig? nated as distinguished.

Question of Jurisdiction Arises Between States of Virginia i and Maryland. I [Special to The Times-"Dispatch.l I Lancaster, Vn., April 9.?An Interest? ing question as to Jurisdiction has arisen between the Commonwealth of j Virginia and the State of Maryland In the case of the three men now conlined in Westmoreland county jail and awaiting trial for the murder of Cap- j tain Allen Horsey nnd? First Mate .lohn | Adams, on the oyster sloop Ruth Irene, In the Potomac River last January The crime was committed off Colonial Beach, near the boundary line between Maryland and Virginia. The murder? ers escaped to the Virginia shore and were captured near Leedstown, on tho Rappabannock River, ?and committed I to jail at MontrOS8, the county seat of Westmoreland, The original compact between Maryland arid Virginia, framed in 17S5. and ratified the following year, provides that all piracies, crimes and : offenses committed in any part of the 1 Potomac River w.'thln the limits 61 \ Virginia, or In any part thereof where I tue lino of division between the two | States may be doubtful, by any persons i not citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia against the editions of Mary? land, shall be tried In the court of the ' State of Maryland, which hath legal [ cognizance ot .such offense-, and the Black and Jenkins award, ratified in i 1S7S. provides that "the low water i mark on the south shore of the Po lOiriac River, to which Virginia has a i rlglu in the soil, is to be measured from low water mark at one headland to low water mark at another, without following indentations, bays, creeks, inlets or affluent rivers." As none of the parties concerned in the murder, so far as can lie learned, was ever a resident of the State of Virginia, and as Captain Horsey, the murdered mas? ter of the oyster sloop, was a citizen of Maryland, residing al Fairmouht, oh the Rastern Shore, and as It \s doubtful whether the murder was co'iri mittud In Hie waters of Virginia or In the waters of Maryland, the Governor ( of Maryland some time ago sein a i refpiisltlon to the Governor of Vir- j glnia, asking that the prisoners charged with the murder be delivered j to the officers of the ?tate ol Maryland i for trial in the courts of that Stnte, I according to the provisions of the j boundary compact. On being Informed ; of the reoulsltlon, Conway Baker,] Commonwealth's attorney for West? moreland, wrote to the Governor of Virginia, asking that the reqtiisliion be not honored, presumably upon the ground that the honoring Of Ihn reepil sition would Imperil the riparian Oyster rights of the citizens of West? moreland in that part of the waters of the Potomac River where the mur? der was committed; and the Governor of Virginia has declined to honor tiie requisition till the mattet can be judi? cially determined.
