SPEECH OF NEWLANDS
DISCUSSES CONTROL OF RAILROADS
 OF NATION.
Advocates Appointment of a Commits sion to Frame Act for COnstrue- tion and Consolidation of
 RaEirOads.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The session of the Senate today was divided between the statehood question and governmen- tai regulation of railroads. Mir. New lands made a formal speech on the railroad subject and at its close en- gagged in a spirited controversy over the points involved with Senators Epooner Foraker and others.
 All Amendments to the statehood bill. except that relating to liquor traf- fic in the Indian Territory were agreed to.
 Mir Elkins today presented and the Senate passed a resolution call- ing. on the interstate commerce Commission for information giv- ing sthe total number of cases eAat have been before the com mission. The resolution asks for spe- cifie information as to the number of complaints made to the commission by railroad companies. the number of com plaints of excessive rates and of un- just discrimination and also in each case as to the number of decisions, the number of appeals to the courts and the number of affirmations or rever- sals by the courts in cases of ap- peal.
 The bill making the restriction on the transportation of lottery tickets be- e portation between the States and Ter ritories was taken up and passed
 Mir. Clay said that under the decision of the courts the existing law did not apply to traffic without the Territories. He expressed the opinion that the bill would affect a regulation of lottery ticket traffic with the Philippines and Porto Rico.
 Mr. Newlands then addressed the Senate OF the joint resolution which he introduced some days ago which provides for a commission with in> rtructions to frame a national irscor- poration act for the construction and consolidating railroads engaged in iN- terstate commerce.
 MT. Newlands said it was time to ignore State lines in the construction. operation and management of the rail- roads and added that he power sought was constitutional and involved no contradiction ofsthe Democratic views as to the reserved powers of the State and local self-government. He held that because of the relations of rail- roads to interstate commerce and the Jurisdiction of Congress over inter- state commerce, Congress had a clear right to exempt interstate railroads in e0rporated under national Legislation from all State or local taxation and rom the reSuiatlOn or rates by such States. He advocated an increase of the authority of the Interstate Com merce Commission so as to authorize It to regulate rates and said the con- solidation of the control of the rail- roads now exercised by all States in the national commission would have the very desirable effect of destroying re- bates. Such control. he contended would be advantageous to the railroads in that it would relieve them from the expressions of varying conditions of popular Judgment and take them out of politics.

F. A. Olds. in Harpers Weekly.
 At the close of the Revolutionary war Andrew Jackson went to Burke County, North Carolina and applied to Waightstill Avery to take him as A boarder at his country home and in- struct him as a law student. Colonel Avery told him he had just moved to the place, and had built nothing hut cabins and could not grant his request. Jackson went ot Salisbury, studied law there. and settled at Jonesboro, until the new county of Davidson (with Nashville as the county-seat) was es- tablished, Nashville becoming subse- quently the capital of Tennessee.
 Several years later Avery appeared in some lawsuit at Jonesboro as opposing counsel to Jackson, and ridiculed the position taken by Jackson. who had proceeded him in the argument Jack son considered the argument insulting and sent him the challenge Colonel Avery was raised Puritan He gradu- ated at Princeton with the highest honors In 1776. and remained there a year as tutor, under the celebrated

Herrmann's Resignation May Not Occur For
 Some Time.
 Cincinnati, Jan. 1.-The baseball season will open on Friday. April IA. and close on either October 8, the schedules of the National and American Leagues each pro- viding for 154 games This much was de- cided today by Presidents 'Pulliam of the National League and Johnson of the Ameri- can League after a conference at the hotel where Pulliam is still confined to his bed
 They have been named as Schedule Com mittees for their respective leagues and the conference today was simply preliminary to the arrangement of the schedules which are to avoid all conflicts. The Eastern clubs will play in the East and the Western in the West at the start, although the actual arrangements are yet to be settled. It has heretofore been announced that the Amerf- can League would play only 140 games. but today's conference fixed a total of 154 games for each league.
 The other development of the day among baseball men was in regard to the reported intention of Chairman Hermann to resign from, the National Committee. In conver- thought it likely in the course of time that his other business interests would require so much of his tino that he would be com pelled to resign his position nn the Ma. of the remark led to the circulation of the report of his resignation.
 During the afternoon Mir. Hermann de. nied any intention of resignIng at the pres. known he was waited on by the members of the National Board and all the minor league representatives in the city and form ally urged not to resign. President Ban Johnson of the American League Joined in the request as also did those of the mafor league men, who were still here. President Pulliam of the National League has so far recovered from the severe cold. into pneumonia, that he expects to leave for the East in few days.

Jonothan Edwards and the famous Dr. Witherspoon. who signed the Declara- tion of Independence as a representa- tive of New Jersey. Avery was Pres byterian. and he was opposed on prin- ciple to duelling but he so far yielded to the imperious custom of the time as to accept the challende and go to the field, with Colonel, afterward Governor, Adair of Kentucky as his second. After the usual preliminaries he allowed Jackson to shoot at him, but did not return the fire. Thereupon, having shown that he was not afraid to be shot at. Avery walked up to young Jackson and delivered a lecture to him, very much in the style a father would use in
 featuring a son. Avery was very calm.

morale of the troops who, with the
doggedness Of the Russian soldier,
were prepared to fight on as long as
the Emperor gave the word.

sonable, is impossible"
