company In a personal damage case , and
who was ordered by the court to file a re-
tnlttur ot $2,500 today or a new
trial , would be granted , filed the same , evi
dently believing that a Judgment of $1,500 Is
worth about as much as ono ot $4,000 against
the company.
In the case against Alexander Buckner , the
tUate was this morning permitted to amend
Its reply to the plea of former acquittal by
introducing the records of the trial In the
Douglas county district court of the evidence
and proceedings had therein. The defendant
claims Immunity from punishment , because ,
as he alleges , he was once placed In Jeopardy
In Omaha for the same offense. He supports
this by filing the records of the court show-
tag that the Judge bad Instructed the Jury
( O bring In a verdict ot not guilty. The state
Claims that Buckner's attorney failed to file
all the. record of tne proceedings , which will
show that the court held that the evidence
Showed that the district court of Douglas
county had no Jurisdiction. It Is for tbe
purpose of getting this In that the state asked
leave to amend its reply.

LONDON , July 9. M. De Blowltr , the
famous Paris correspondent , commenting In
the London Times today upon the alleged
Interview with the United States ambassa
dor to France , Mr. James B. Eustls , pub
lished yesterday In the Figaro , said thai
such an interview evidently constituted anew
now departure In diplomacy. In reference
to the utterances imputed to Mr. Eustla
regarding Canada , M. De Blowltz said II
would be dllllcult to believe that the am
bassador represented a friendly nation.
Several of the Paris newspapers also com
ment today on the alleged Interview.
The Estafette says that Mr. EuUls ad
mitted that the United States supported
Japan against France , Russia and Germany ;
Canada against England and Cuba against
Spain and that the United States has am
bitious commercial Ideas respecting Mada
gascar. All those acts and plans , the Es
tafette comments , "are contradictory of the
Monrob doctrine and combined with their
apparent forgetfulness ot our former fra
ternal relations , compels us to anticipate
that the future will bo darkened by disputes
and misunderstandings. "
The Libre Parole also severely criticises
Mr. Eustis , and , accepting the Figaro In
terview as genuine , says the American
ambassador has committed a broach of the
laws of hospitality.
