BRITONS MUST STAND
IROQUOIS FIRE LOSS
Chicago's Disaster Develops Point in
international Law.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The United
States government has become a party
to the complications growing out of the
Iroquois fire. A fine question of inter
national law has developed. 1t is an
English company and British fire in
surance interests that will suffer
large part of the financial loss, instead
of the New York firm of KlaW & Err
LANCER.
While adjusters are fixing the ques-
ton of loss upon the theater building,
local and British victims of the fire
are endeavoring to reach a bond in the
possession of the United States govern
ment as a means of satisfying claims.
"Mr. Blue Beard" the extravaganza,
was not, as generally supposed, Ameri-
can property. Instead, the scenery,
costumes and the greater portion of
the electrical effects were owned by
the Drury Lane company, of London,
England. They were leased by Klaw
& ErIanger.
AS a consequence, the spectacular
mass of light and color was brought to
and bond for $4,000 was filed with
the government in lieu of payment of
duty, guaranteeing that the property
would be exported to its owner within
six months.
1t is that bond that claimants are
now seeking to reach. At the same
time representatives Of Klaw &, Err
LANCER are trying to secure a release
of the bond through proof that the
property is now non existent.
The value of the destroyed property
is estimated at from $4,000 to $50, 900.
British underwriters insured the prop
erty in part for the Drury Lane COM
pany, and it is upon them and upon
the Drury Lane company the property
loss will fall

HOW MACHEt WAS
PAID BY LORFNz
Defendant In Possal Trial Pro-
duces Drafts. Ec., on the
Witness Stand.

WASHINGTON, d. &c, Feb. A.
George E. Lorenz was on the witness
stand in the postal trials most of to-
day. He produced drafts, checks and
sight drafts, which passed between
Machen and himself and declared that
they were all in payment of his note
for $4,000, which he gave Machen
when the latter, in 1893, assigned his
interest in the oil properties. He gave
a detailed statement Of the value of
these properties and of the indebted
ness of the company TO the Ketcham
National bank, of Toledo. He also
produced an original entry book COW
ering a running account between him.
self and Machen and pointed out vari-
GUS credits made therein on account
of the note. -s-s-
Settlements with Machen, he said,
were made annually, the notes being
Cancelled on Dee 16, 1893. All the
money transactions between Machen
and himself referred to by the govern
ment related solely to this indebted
ness to Machen. When the money
commenced to come from D. B. Croft,
in 1895, Mr. Lorenz said that he de-
termined to turn over to Maehen one
half of his profits in the fastener. This
he did until he became pressed for
money and then he sent Machen only
what he could spare and when he be-
came easier financially Machen again
got his remittances as on previous oc-
casions.
Mr. Conrad provoked a heated argu-
ment by requesting the court to in
struct Mr. Lorenz not 10 talk to any
one, not even his COUNSEL, during the
lunch hour. The court aenied the re-
quest.
Mr. Douglas, of counsel for the de-
Tense, vigorously resented what he said
was a reflection on him and his asso-
ciates and called attention to the fact
that in all the historyEof the district
courts this was the first time any
such request had been made. Presi-
dent Carr, Of the National Bank Of
Commerce, which ssucceeded the
Ketcham National bank, testified to
the dealing of his bank with Machen
and Lorenz in connection with the oil
properties
