DAY OF LARGE FEES.
Eminent Lawyers and Surgeons Re-
ceive Magnificent Sums.

This Is an age of great fees In law,
in surgery, in science and even in
diplomacy. These fees are not always
paid by corporations or Indian tribes.
says the Baltimore Sun. A few years
ago ct was widely published az the
time) gentleman who was among
the leaders of the New York bar re-
ceived fee of 100000 for a legal
opinion which he was able to give al
most offhand A question involving
the status of a great enterprise was
submitted to him in the form of
memorandum. He wrote his opinion
in one word and 1t was sustained In
the courts. This seems to be an abb
surdly large sum to pay for one word
of legal advice. In another aspect,
however, 1t was not excessive, for Il
self in an impregnable position in the
legal point of view and to continue its
operations with the assurance that 1t
could not be attacked successfully. At
the close of the war between China
and Japan. eleven years ago the Chi
nese government needed the services
of an able and experienced diplomatist
to cope with the capable and up-to-
date Japanese diplomats. 1t therefore
engaged Mr.. John W. Foster, former
secretary of state of the United States,
to assist in the preparation of the
treaty of peace. 1t is understood that
the fee which Mr.. Foster received
from China was $50 600 n large sum
to be sure, but not out of proportion
to the services he rendered. China
was at the mercy of Japan, which was
able to enforce it's demands, both as
regards territory and indemnity. By
persuading the Japanese to modify
their demands Mr.. Foster was in po-
sition to save China territory and
treasure. 1t was a business matter
throughout, and the Chinese govern
ment seems to have been thoroughly
satisfied with the work of its Ameri-
can agent.
