Harrison's Fee and a Possible US Diplomatic Collection
A Washington dispatch reports a suggestion that a US diplomatic officer might be needed to collect a lawyer's fee for a former president. The fee, about 259,000, would come from Venezuela's government over Benjamin Harrison's services as legal representative before the Paris arbitration. If the Caracas insurrection succeeds, the prior administration’s obligation could be disputed, though officials consider it an honor bound by Harrison's former role in averting war and securing relief for Venezuela. The question was debated during Harrison and Cleveland's administrations.
