American Citizens Forced Into King
Humbert's Service.
A CHICaGOAN ORDERED TO REPORT
If He Refuses He Must Keep Away
From His Native Land.
SPYING ON MMIGRAN TS

CHICAGO, December 14.-The minister of
war of the Italian government is now in
correspondence with Count Rosewadowski,
King Humbert's consul at Chicago, con-
corning a question of enforced service for
an American citizen in the italian army.
Oscar Durante, naturalized American
citizen. editor of Chicago LItalia, and for
a second time a municipal office holder. mas
been ordered to report for a physical ex-
animation to determine his fitness for ser
vice as soldier of Italy.
Early next week, in pursuance of these
orders Mr.. Durante will report at the Of
fee of the consulate and will submit to an
examination. Mr.. Durante says that owing
to the diplomatic policy between Italy and
the United States, 1t Is necessary to ac-
qu!esce in this demand of King Humbert
If he wishes to escape arrest. imprisonment
and enforced military duty on the occasion
of any future visit to his fatherland
To emphasize the claim that President
Cleveland should deal with the Italian gov
eminent in vigorous fashion, the young
Italian editor declares there are now doing
enforced duty in the army of Italy several
Chicago men, snatched up by the royal
guards of Italy while on visits to their
kindred. The last case happened within
year, Mr.. Durante says, and, although
newspapers in this country made mention
OF it at the time, the matter was dropped
a chance that he may be required to serve
full five years.
Italy refuses to recognize the right of its
subjects to give allegiance to foreign pow
ers. Even children who leave Italy are
tracked by government agents and their
names are kept on the list for army duty.
Italy claims all who have ever owed al
legiance to it's government. and, although
unable to enforce the claims on alien SUBJ
jects as long as they remain away, once
let them return, Mr.. Durante says, and the
agents of the Italian government, VINO
watch trains and vessels, seize them and
throw them into prison. They are liable to
incarceration for six months. besides army
service.
The program Is carried on by 'refrac-
tory" system of which every consulate in
other lands Is q part. Count RosewadoW-
ski has transacted the business in Mr. Du-
rante's case and the Chicagoan awaits the
issue with deep concern, hoping for the dis
covery of some physical disqualification
against military duty.

Readings New Plan to Be Announc-
ed Monday.
COMING GOLD EXPORTS TO GERMANY
Bank Statement Shows an Increase
in Loans.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 14!Today's stock
market was devoted almost exclusively to
the elimination of the short interest In the
industrial department, the railway list con-
tinuing unresponsive. AS the short interest
has been largely instrumental in imparting
an atmosphere of strength to the market
it's destruction cannot be regarded as a boon
to values.
The present purpose Of Readings reorgan-
cation committee is to announce the new
plan after the close of business on Monday,
but 1t Is doubtful. considering the publics
familiarity with its prominent features If
it will have any influence in counteractirg
the large gold exports of the following day.
Upward of 100000 will be withdrawn from
the subtreasury for export to Germany I'M
less decided decline in rates, due to In
creased commercial drawings, is announced
early on Monday.
Sterling exchange was slightly easier in
this market yesterday, but decline In
German exchange in the London market
has increased the margin of profit to the
local exporting houses.
Several of the larger foreign Institutions
announced that they would ship from $780,
600 to $1,500,00G each, both extremes being
subject to additions before sailing hour.
In view of the pronounced heaviness of
the railway list, at times, the impression
prevails that this loss Of coin will result In
some Shading off in prices should any activ-
ity be inspired.
The bank statement reflects an increase
of about three millions in the loan ac-
count, the first significant expansion for
months. The natural increase in the de-
mand for money at this season was aug
mented by the financing of the Georgia
Central bond issue.
This change is only partially reflected in
the deposits owing to decrease in the
holdings Of lawful money on account of
gold shipments.
The loss sustained In the latter particu-
lar, coupled with the increase in deposits,
reduces the surplus reserve nearly two
million dollars.
Bankers predict an active money market
from now on, but little demand Is expected
to emanate from speculate interests, COM
mercial needs alone being relied upon
The lack of interest on the part of the pub
lie has at last pervaded professional circles
and stagnation, with crumbling of values
Is all that the immediate outlook presents
In certain of the specalties liberal advances
due to special causes may be recorded but
the general list furnishes small incentive
to hasty purchases.
The new year. however, is almost uri-
versaHy regarded as the commencement of
an era OF prosperity, and purchases made
after that date are less likely to be in
fiuenced by fractional fluctuations than
now, confidence in the correctness of a
chosen position being long stride In the
direction Of profitable results.

The New Military Concert Band.

Mr.. Will Haley is very much encouraged
by the result of the first concert by the
new Military Concert Band which he has
organized. The members of the organiza-
ton show decided enthusiasm in their
work, and this bids fair to become one of
the best bands in the District. Mr.. Haley
has his force now at work on a new pro-
gram, which will be given at the second
concert some time in January. He believes
that series of Sunday night concerts,
where good music is furnished in a supe-
rior manner, will prove popular and finan-
cially successful.

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-

sworn to is a bona fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstaads. which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
Judge by results, and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.
The circulation Of The Star Is
many thousands in excess Of any
other Washington paper and Is be-
lieved to be fully five times that OF

The Commissioners conferred for several
minutes. and then Commissioner Ross
stated that there were many difficulties in
making general regulation on the sub
ject.
This brought President Phillips of the
Metropolitan railroad to his feet. He said
he believed the Commissioners had ample
power under the laws of 1887 and 1892 to
make a special regulation governing any
roadg He did not think the Commissioners
should be circumscribed in their action be-
cause a certain regulation could not affect
all roads alike. Ii there is route requir-
ing any greater speed on any railroads in
excess of the regulations, he thought the
covering it. The present limit brings the
speed of his trains below the limit allowed
by law. Their schedule called for trip in
tWenty-eght minutes, but it takes thirty
two minutes to go the distance, which is
three and seven-eighths miles. Out of
every trip seven minutes is taken for de-
lays.
These delays cause many complaints on
the part of citizens, who designate the
road as a slow coach. The time limit could
readily be increased between Missouri ave-
nue. and the arsenal to twelve miles an
hour, and the same increase could be al
able the road to be operated on schedule
time.
President Baker of the Columbia road
dropped in after the hearing had closed,
and stated that he would like to see the
speed increased on his road from ten to
eleven miles per hour, if the public de-
manded 1t.

This morning, according to arrangement,
President Dunlop of the Capital Traction
Company appeared before the Commits
sioaers to give his views on the proposed
change of the regulations. While. he said,
the Capital Traction Company would in
crease the speed of its trains he desired to
be put on record as opposing any increase,
as he believed it would be dangerous.
Mr. Dunlop asked If the Commissioners
had the right 10 increase the speed of street
cars without special act of Congress. Com

belief the power arising under the police
regulations which permitted them to regu
