A Bio Fee.


New York dispatch, March 80: New
York lawyers believe that if the Pan
ANA canal treaty is passed by the
United States Senate William Nelson
Cromwell will receive the largest fee
eve given to q lawyer in this country,
If not in the world. The report finds
general CredenCe in the Wall street dis
trict that 81, 900, coo OF the money to be
paid by the government for the partly
finished ditch across the isthmus will
go directly into Mr.. CromwelIs pocket.
1t is doubtful II any fee approXimating
that sum has ever been paid to an
American lawyer for strictly legal SER
vices.
Mr.. CromWells arrangements with
the Panama Canal company Is report
ed to be on the basis of ) per cent. of
the amount realized by the sale. With
smaller figures this would seem a rea-
sonable compensation, but the compel
sation is enormous. The anxiety of
those at present in control Of the stock
to dispose Of their interests is evidenced
by the large percentage hat they are
willing to give to the man charged with
affecting the sale.
According to Washington dispatches
there has been a formal agreement in
Tie SENATE " take II vote on the Pan
anna canal treaty next Tuesday. If the
treaty is passed, the United States will
be obliged to pay $40, coo, coo to the Re
public of Colombia in cash, and when
the canal is completed, within nine
years from the ratification Of the treaty,
q lease will begin under the terms of
which Colombia will get $3.50, 00Q a G
The payment Of the $40, 900, 0O0 to the
canal company is In addition. to the
bonus going t" the government.
Mr.. Cromwell, who will get the great
fee through the proposed action Of the
senate, is the senior member OF the law
firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, which has
Offices at 40 Wall street, corner of VIII
liams street. Mr.. Cromwell is now In
Washington conducting the final strug-
gle before the vote is taken in the
senate.
