Ex-senator EVarrs Fee for saying
"Yes."

Two hundred aud sixty thousand
dollars seems large amount oil money
to be paid as fee to lawyer.
This Is the sum, however, that W.
n Cromwell. of No. As Wall street,
received as his fee for settling the al
fairs Of Decker, Howell Il Go.
IL is the largest fee ever paid, SO FAR
as can be ascertained. No lawyer can
remember any such sum ever having
been paid before, though, OF course, II
Is quite possible that as much or more
has been paid and the fact never be-
came public.
Fifty thousand dollar fees are COM
mon. They are often paid by big cor
porations for legal advice, the correct
ness or faultiness Of which means a
gain or loss OF millions. No lawyer
will give his advice in an affair in-
yolying enormous sums OF money or
the existence of great corporation
without receiving remuneration in
proportion to the amount or Interest,"
involved.
The personal liberty of wealthy
man Is often worth $4,000 to him
and a first-class criminal lawyer who
succeeds in securing to wealthy
client his personal liberty or his ac
auittal on q grave charge, expects no
. muneration in proportion TO TN
wealth of his client. lie gets 1t, too.
There are several instances of $3.50,
900 having been paid to lawyers as
single fee. The most startling cas-
was that In which Ex-senator W. N
Eyarts, of Evarts, Choate n Beamar
received quarter of million OF dol
lars for an opinion on ticklish lega
!, point. A great corporation sought III

THREE TIMES AND OUT.
THE THIRD AND LAST BASEBALL
GAME OF THE SEASON.
San Francisco Wins in Nine Innings-A
Well Contested Game-Details OF the
PLAY

A large concourse Of people assembled
at the Temple street grounds yesterday
afternoon to witness the third and de-
Gliding game between the San Francisco
and Los Angeles clubs. The game was
quite above the average, the interest
being kept up from the start to the
finish. The visitors came with their
well-known Garrison rush at the finish,
and snatched the game out OF the fire.
1t was certainly hard luck to be beaten
on the threshold of victory, especially
as a very doubtful decision by
Umpire Sheridan cut so important q
figure in the result. Carsey was dis
gusted with the decision, and his pitch
ing suffered in consequence.
The Los Angeles nine put up great
fielding game. Holiday made sensa-
tional catch of sky scraper. He had
to climb up on the fence in order to
get it, and when the crowd found out
that he had the ball he was cheered for
almost minute. Directly afterwards,
Stapleton made brilliant stop OF hot
liner. Fogarty also put up a Dunlap
game at second. The score follows:

THE CHARLESTON
BROWN WILLING TO FIGHT
Her AGAINST ANYTHING AFLOAT.
In Response to Question at the Kalakaua
Banquet the Admiral Pays California
and Her Ship High Tribute.

In responding to the toast Of The
United States Navy, at the banquet ten
dered to his majesty, King Kalakaua, at
the California club on Saturday night,
Admiral Brown of the new United States
cruiser Charleston, paid high compli-
ment to California, of which, however,
lack of space forbade an extended men
tion yesterday.
After brief comparison of the old
and new navies, the admiral said that
thework Of rehabilitating the navy did
not commence in reality until six years
ago, when, after good deal of quib-
bling in Congress, an appropriation
was made for the building of the
first four steel ships, which are
known in naval circles as the A, B, G
and D of the new navy. These were the
Atlanta, Boston, Chicago and Dalton.
They were commenced during Secretary
Chandler's administration. but were not
completed until two years after Secre-
tary Whitney went into Office. At that
time the matter was looked upon merely
in the light of political question, and
it was not until the masses Of the peo-
pie of the United States realized that
the navy was not commensurate with
the wants of the country that work was
begun in earnest. Under Secretary
Whitney the work of building up the
new navy progressed very rapidly, but
under the present secretary it's progress
has been more rapid. This was due to
5easa sss ast that sta
I1nuuoati0po1 iptoOritv
In the building up of the new navy
California was taking the lead, and the
Union iron works Of San Francisco was
now under contract to do more naval
work than any other builders in the
union.
OF the Charleston, upon which he had
the honor of flying his flag, he was
justly proud, for she was magnificent
vessel in every respect, credit alike to
her designer and the skill of California
mechanics.
In reply to a categorical question put
by Colonel J. ]. Ayers, as to whether
or not he was satisfied with the Charles
ton. Admiral Brown said that he was
perfectly satisfied, and as one who had
been in the service for twenty years, he
ought to know a good ship when he
saw her. No better ship ever
sailed than the Charleston, al
though in some respects the new
cruiser San Francisco might show slight
improvement, because she was OF more
recent date, but he would be willing to
fight the Charleston against anything
afioat. A good deal has been said about
the Charleston's loss OF speed, which
was untrue.
During her trial trip che had made
from twenty to twenty-four knots an
hour, burning 3l5 tons of coal per day at
the expense OF her builders. When turned
over to the government. however, it was
necessary to practise economy, hence
she made from nine to ten knots per
hour, burning only thirty tons OF coal
per day. She could, however, unques-
tionably make the same speed, if neces-
sary, as in her trials, providing the same
amount of fuel was used.

schemes, were mentioned in one of the
confessions and statements about
the matter made to the federal officials
when it was squelched.
General Cadwallader OF San Diego,
who was sent to Washington as sort OF
agent for San Diego, has also taken q
hand in this little game.
The whole scheme is one which, if
successfully carried through, can only
rebound to the benefit of very few
capitalists and the parties directly inter-
ested, and which cannot fail to produce
great easiness along the entire border
line between the United States and
Mexico, besides causing unnecessary
friction between the two governments,
and possibly more serious and deeply to
be deplored results. It is not likely that
the state department will allow itself to
be iuggled by speculators, either in San
Diego or in Washington, who take no
higher view of the matter than the, pos
sible per cent. they will get from it.
