It is expected the nomination of
ox-Senator Sargent to bo secretary of
the interior will probably not bo sent
to the senate for two or throe weeks ,
probably not before the 1st of Febru
ary. The coming sanatoria ! election
in Iowa has been virtually settled in
favor of J. F. Wilson , and to avoid a
disturbance of that arrangement Sec
retary Kirkwood will bo permitted to
retain his present position till the
election is oer. . It is repre
sented this plan is agreeable
to Kirkwood. Kirkwood , it is
understood , knows his service
as secretary will be terminated botoro
long , but has no desire to enter the
senatorial race. On the contrary ,
ho is anxious to keep out , but should
ho leave the interior department ho
apprehends that his friendn would in
sist on an attempt to elect him. Ho
docs not cnro to bo put iu a position
to have to resist their appeals to run
and this can be avoided only by his
remaining whore ho is until at tor the
election. The friends of Wilson very
willingly assented tothisarrnngcmont ,
as they don't want the possible com
petition in Kirkwood's district. . _ ,

The Demand far Corporate Roprai.
i , ( ion.
New York Times.
First and foremost among the sub
jects thai-will require attention from
the legislature , is the establishment of
some degree of'public control ever the
railway system' ' of the state. One
point at least 'may bo regarded as
definitely settled. There ia a demand
for a commission to exorcise super
vision ever railroad corporations ,
which has _ grown moro earnest and
inphatio with ; svory effort to thwart
it. There is "a * recognized need of
Kcmo public ti'oy to Bocuro a rigid
scrutiny into the bperatibuu of rail
roads , to give the fullest publicity to
eucli of their affairs as concern the
public , to look constantly after the
enforcement of the laws relating to
thorn , and to suggest such modifica
tion of the statutes as the closest ob
servation and the most intelligent in
quiry may find to bo desirable. Be
yond that there is no doubt a call { in
judicious restrictions upon the
power of railroad companies
to makit their own rates.
That unjust discriminations againxt
persons or places , and secret ru'es
and rebates should bo absolutely pro-
hibiled does not admit of question. It
s equally clear that railroad tarills
tight to bo subjected to some sort of
authoritative regulation. They should
be public , and not changeable slid
di-iily and without notico. Indealing
with this branch of thu subject c.ireful
consideration is called for. The fact
that the principal competition of the
through lines which cro.ns the state
really fall outside of its jurisdiction
makes it difficult to dual with their
tariffs. This can only bo done prop
erly by national authority , but while
these lines should by no meinm be
crippled in their competition with
rivals for tlirough business , they
ought not , on the other hand , to be
alowcd to make up by unjust local
charges for losses ontailo by a reckless
cut-throat warfare.
Certain of the corporations have
been forcing a now question to the
front which m full of dulliculty , per
haps , but which should not on that
account bo passed over , and that is
thu protection of the rights nf minori
ty stockholdets. If all men wore
honest anil fair-minded , it might be
Biifo to allow a few persons to get control -
trol of a majority of the slock of a
great public corporation and manage
its alF.iiri through its board of direc
tors without chuck. Hut experience
admonishes UH tint men are not honest
in proportion to thuir financial SUCCCHU ,
and a few rich rascals may manipulate
properly in which scores or hundreds
of poorer men have an interest with
no purpose but thu satisfaction of
their own selfish greed. In the pur-
unit of that thuy sicriiice the interests
of other and butter men , debauch
publich sentiment , disregard public
rights , and plead in their defense
that the law gives them the opportu
nity nnd affords them immunity from
n just retribution. Thu rapacity and
unacrupulousn''fls of rich men in con
trol of the property of corporations
calls for some measure of defense for
the rights of minority ownership and
the interest of the community.

wore up early. Kottoaki was greatly

lioth ate sparingly , evidently with
little relish. Late last night Ellis
was visited by members of the
Young Men's Christian Associa

accompany him to the scaffold. Ivot
toski selected Father Brown , Catholic
priest. Hoth men listened attentive
ly after breakfast to religious minis
trations and both expressed extreme
confidence that they wore going
straight to glory. They were then
led forth. Ellis walked up the scaf
fold with a smile Ivottonki was still
agitated but managed to keep himself
well in hand. At 8:50 : the drop fell.
Ellis died with one or two convul
sions , but Kottoski's death was moat
revolting. His chest quivered nnd
heaved ; his hands and arms shook
violently , and his legs were drawn up
until his thighs were in an almost
horizontal position. Finally he bo-
became quiet. lie was in four min
utes pronounced dead. Ellis' pulse
stopped at the litth minute and in 20
minutes the bodies wore cut down.

WASHINGTON , January ( ! . Mr. Sen-
villo and John W. Guiteiui called on
the assassin at the jail this morning.
They found him in good spirits and
well satisfied. The prisoner was told
to prepare for thu worst , but he still
predicts an acquittal. "Why , " said
ho , in an "ecstatic" A'ay , "that jury
will never hang me. The members
are honest , conscientious men. The
American people believe I was insane
when 1 removed the president and
there's no reason ( or them to believe
otherwise. That my act , which wan
'nnpired , is hilly countenanced by the
Deity i\ill be vindicated in every re-
apect. "
One of the visitors oakcd if there
wns not , a possibility of conviction.
"No , " said Uuiteau , " 1 can't bo
nnd 1 will not allow myself to think
such a thing. It is possible , but if I
nm mistaken T will send out a state
ment to the world that will astonish
it. ] made Arthur president. There
in no reason wliy he should want mo
hung. 1 have helped a number of
people to ollicu and why should they
want mo hung ? I acted under a
grinding pressure imposed on mo by
thu Almighty , I was not responsible
for my acts , and , while I am sane
now , 1 was insane by reason of the
Divine inspiration when 1 carried out
the Lord's will. "
The prisoner takes kindly to his
change of diet. He is more nervous
in manner than ho has been ; ho is
restless at iiiglit and the guards say
he is extremely anxious that the trial
should end. The warden thinks that
he will break down entirely if the
verdict should bo one of guilty : ' it is
also believed ho will cause an unusual
BCOIIO in court when Judge Porter de
nounces him on his imposing major.
Mr. Heed thinks there is a fair
chance for the prisoner's acquittal on
the question of jurisdiction. Mr.
Scovillo is not no sanguine and
J. W. Ouiteau soeini to bo con
vinced that his brother will die
on the scaffold. Public sentiment
is divided as to the verdict. While a
trong feeling is apparent that the
jury will fail to agree , many nro pf the
opinion that a verdict will bo reached
vrithin two hours , that such a verdict
will be one of murder in the first de
gree. Portions are not wanting , how
ever , who are firm in the belief that
two members at linst of thu jury ho-
Hove in inspiration'and on the ground
> f the prisoner's repeated and ap
parently sincere assertions : of divine
proflsure will rofuiio to convict.
Gen. Crocker , warden of the jail ,
says that hereafter until the termina
tion of the ( initcau trial , his counsel
and hin brother and Hister are the only
persons who will bo permitted to see
the prisoner.

CAN IT 15B DONE ?
An Old Stenmbont Cuptnln'a ' Opinion
of the MlriHourl Improvement.
There is an old steamboat captain
up ut Sioux Citynamcd Grant Marsh ,
who lias a decidedly unfavorable opin
ion of thu project to improve the Mis-
souri. Hu was interviewed on Thurs
day , and thus given Inn ideas on thu
subject :
Wu have huird of u proposition U )
expend 810,000 u mile in an elfort to
improve thu whole course of the Mia-
hxtiri. Such u proposition is simply
prupofttornuH , for thu very important
reason that no amount of money , not
oven liu ! extravagant sum proponed ,
could over permanently improve the
Missouri. Pornatural reasons which can
not bu overcoinu thu project of tow
ing bargou would be n failure ; nnd
after thu best anil m ist expensive
ellbrts the result would bu the same ,
that thu barges would tow the towboats -
boats niHtcad of thu boats towing the
bargea , Besides , whatever produce is
shippud from this suction by way of
Is'uw Orleans must bu by thu Missis
sippi , upon which the bargu project
has proven u success. On that river
grain is shipped to Liverpool via New
Orleans at 11 cents a bushel , and on
the Missouri , HO full of obstacles , with
the Mississippi which is clear and
navigablu from thu hand of nature
competition ia simply out of the ques
tion.
tion.Thu captain then goes on to statu that
the only feasible plan for improvement
at all ia for eauh city ulong the Mis
souri to perfect n rivur front , build
levees abovu on both sides and trust
to I'luviilmiuo to make a channel
wht-ruliy steamboats and barges can
bu tlo.ttud.
