COURSING.
Postponement of the Ocean View
Me eeting-Two Stakes for Ingle-
side TO-Morrow

PoStponement or the Ocean View
Meeting-Two Stakes for Ingle-
side To- Morrow.
Owing 10 the action of some malicious
person in cutting the fences surrounding
Ocean View Coursing Park on Wednesd ay
night and permitting all but few of the
hares to escape, .here will be no running
at that popular resort tomorrow. al
preparations had been made for a fine
meeting, which was assured by the pre-
vailing pleasant weather, but as time pre-
cluded the importation OF new lot Of
Jacks the management was reluctantly
com pelled to send out notices to those
who were training dogs for the event thai
the meeting was postponed.
1t was the original intention to close on
Sunday, the 18th inst, out of courtesy to
the Interstate Club, which goes to Mer-
ced on the day previous, but most of those
who had hounds in training have earnest
ly requested that the postponed meeting
be held on that day and their demand has
been acceded to. The meeting is also in
tended to accommodate the large numb
of leashmen who cannot afford the expep-
sive trip to Merced.
The drawing will be held On Friday
evening next at Delta Hall and the stake
viii ibe limited TO thirty-two dogs.

THEIR FEES CUT DOWN.
Judge Coffey Allowed Attorneys
Moore and Barry but
$4,000.
They Originally Asked $37,5oo for
Services to the Pearsons
Estate.

From S37, 500 to 5000 is the reduction
Judge Coffey yesterday made in the fees
asked for by the attorneys engaged in the
litigation over the estate of Hiram A.
Pearsons. J. II. Moore, the legal adviser
of the executor of the estate, and Colonel
Barry, representing the absent heirs, some
time ago put in claims, the former fof
$25, 900 and the latter for $l2, 500. His
Honor however, decided that Barry was
entitled to but $5000 and as he has already
received that amount that he may now
consider that the estate owes him nothing.
Mr.. Moore stands charged with $6690 so
!. that he will have to content himself with
an additional 5000.
There was q large attendance of attor-
neys in Judge Coffey's courtroom yester.
day afternoon when the Pearsons case
was taken up and they spent ar anxious
hour awaiting the decision of the court.
His Honor held that most of the services
for which Mr.. Moore asked for remuner-
alton were duties which should have been
performed by the executor Of the estate,
and that while he did not doubt their
value he could not under the law ses the
way clear to making the estate pay Mr..
Moore for them. He said the attorney
should look TO the executor for his pay.
With reference to Colonel Barry's claim,
II was remarked on going over Lne ac-
count. that he had performed duties
which should have en- delegated to the
attorneys representing other interests than
those which he was appointed to defend.
Judge Coffey proposed, however, that
the various orphan asylums the duties of
whose lawyers had been performed by
Colonel Barry should present to him
statement of the amounts they were to
have paid to their lawyers, and that he
would allow to Colonel Barry that amount
out of the estate. The lawyers whose fees
were thus to be wrested from them were
Joseph Hutchinson, representing the San
Francisco Ladies' Protective and Relief
Society; 9. w. Haight, representing the
San Fra ncisco Protestant Orphan Asylum;
Joseph Naphtaly. representing the He
brew Orphan Asylum; A. M. Drown. rep
resenting the Maria Kip Orpbanage; ana
a H. Loughborough and Nj. G. Hasslett,
rApresentiig the Catholic Orphan Asylum.
Nv hen Judge Coffey made the announce
ents just stated Colonel Barry imme-
Etely disclaimed that the services be
haaTendered should have been performed
by his confreres and disclaimed putting
any such light on the matter, but quickly
suoslded when 1T became apparent 10 him
that he court was indulging in little
quiet fun at his expense.

NEGOTIATING WITH SPAIN.

President Cleveland, according to the
Washington Post, believes that the
property.owners and best people OF Cuba
do not desire the recognition OF the
belligerency of the insurgents and that
a recognition of their independence
would be even worse. He believes II
the Spanish army were withdrawn from
Cuba the entire island would be in q
state OF anarchy, with civil war IS q
natural consequence, which would be
infinitely more serious than the present
conflict. Besides. belligerent attitude
on the part Of the United States would
be resented to such an extent that the
Spanish ministry and perhaps the gov
eminent would be overthrown.
In view OF these difficulties and in
consideration of the immense CONNER
cial and industrial interests Of citizens
Of tho United States in Cuba, the Pres
ident and Secretary of State are en-
deavoring with great care and circum-
spec.ion to use the friendly offices OF
this country in bringing about such an
understanding between Spain and the
people of Cuba that it may be possible
to secure cessation of hostilities first,
and finally such concessions from the
mother country as will satisfy the
Cubans.
Some correspondence has already
taken place, and the Spanish minister
has given assurance to Secretary Olney
that 1t is the intention OF his govern
ment to carry into operation the re-
form law that was enacted in March
last, rs soon as the condition of the
island will permit, and that other con-
cessions are proposed that will be even
more liberal and satisfactory. There
