Declares Himselfin Earnest In His Race
for tho spehk ershIp

for the speakershIp
WAsHINoToN, May 9.-The following is
an interview with s. S. Cox: A reporter
asked Mr.. Cox II the reports which were
floating around 10 the effect that as a
matter Of fact he was not in earnest in his
candidacy for the speakership in the Forty
eighth House Of Representatives were
correct.
Mr.. Cox replied. "There is not word OF
truth in the report. am in earnest. am
making the race to win. am not making
the race just to get on an important com.
mittee. l am not making the race in the
interest OF any other candidate, nor am
making the contest in the interest Of any
section or set Of men. am not contending
for the speakership in the interest OF
monopoly. am opposed to all monopo,
lists and monopolies Of whatever kind that
exist. am opposed to high protective
tariff, as well as TO all rings, cliqnes, and
corruptions in high or low official places.
You can say am in the race until am
either elected or defeated"
slow do you suppose such report got
circulated"
"oh, suppose that prince Of schemers
political tricksters, Sam Randall, is at the
bottom OF it. But It will do him no good.
Randall, personally, has never been mixed
up in any job; but he has some very warm
friends that have. He was always honest
in his personal and private transactions;
but in his political maneuverings he is as
INSCRIPTIONS as 1t is possible for a man to
be. In fact, he is utterly void Of one parti.
Gle OF political honesty"
"Who do you regard as your most dan
gerous opponent in the contest2"
~ can't say. Carlisle is very popular.
Blackburn has Ia good many friends, and so
has Morrison, Of illinois. They are all
good fellows, and either Of them would
make good Speaker. Butt must be of;
good morning"

Court to-day much excitement was created
by the development OF peculiar, interest,"
ing and romantic story. The principal
actors are young men Of high social stand
inc and wealth. The story Is as follows
In 1869 William Tilden, a relative Of
Samuel ]. Tilden, died, leaving an estate
valued at s., 100000. He divided it equally
between his four sons, William, Milano O.,
Marmaduke and Beverle B. Tilden, aged
20, 10, 12 and 9years. Josiah NJ. Fiske,
William T. Clodgett, David Doves, Charles
Tracey and N. q. Ely were appointed exc
cutors. In 1870 the executors employed an
Italian named Brazzi as tutor and manager
for the boys, and they were sent to Europe.
In Paris they occupied rooms formerly
occupied by the Prince OF Wales and other
members Of the royal family OF England.
They then proceeded to Berlin and lived
in sumptuous style, expending in sixteen
months about $4,000.
A SoBLEMAN FOR MONEY
The eldest OF the four. William, pur-
chased place in Coburg for $4,000 and
with it the title Of baron. While in his
palace he became very much interested in
the wife Of the former owner aud very soon
was under complete control OF her hus.
band, to whom he caves power oil attorney
and permitted to purchase all the furniture
for his palace. In 1872 the executors dis.
covered the condition OF affairs abroad,
and by the payment OF very large sums OF
money the young man was extricated from
his difficulties.
The four then conceived the idea OF bail
in honor of Americans in Germany. They
hired an immense hall at great expense,
and gave the ball, which was widely COM
mentedl on. When they returned home
the executors footed up their expenses for
two years and four months as $lS5,000.
They were sent 10 Harvard College, but
did not remain there William was made
an executor OF the estate and 1877 a partner
in the business formerly carried on by his
father. This he was compelled to give up,
owing to bis inability 10 manage It.
A GUARDIANS FAT FEE.
Many accountings were had, for which
large counsel fees were paid. In 1877
Gustavus G. ]. Thebaud was appointed
guardian Of Beverle B. Tilden. He re-
ceived sl,250, and afterward, it is alleged,
was locked up in Ludlow street jail for
eleven months for misappropriating $4,000
belonging to another estate for which he
was the attorney. From the accounting
