Austrians Leaving

The Austrian consulate having not
flied the few Austrian subjects in
Rome to be ready to leave at a mo-
n.ents notice, most of them decided
to depart today.
When the soldiers at the barracks at
Castro Bretorio learned that Premier
Salandra was to remains in power they
began an enthusiastic demonstration in
favor of war and went to their command
er, Col. Baistrocchi. The colonel said he
could not yet give expression to his feel
sfngs, but hoped to be able to address
hem in a few days in the way that he
s6ould like to do.
The excitement at Milan subsidized on
receipt of the news of Premier Salan-
dra's retention. The general strike there
passed off without serious incident, al
though crowd estimated at 1000 made
a demonstration in favor of war. SINH
lar demonstrations occurred at Florence
Naples, Messina. Bologna. Palermo ana
Catania.
The demonstration at Bologna develop
ed into a free fight between the factions
for and against war. At Genoa last
night crowds attempted to pillage the
shops of gunsmiths but were held in
check by troops.

RAILROADS TO NOTIFY
COMMISSION Of CHANGES
Representatives Appear at Hearing on
Timetable MISUNDERSTANDING
For Suffragists.

Changes in schedules of railroads
operating in Virginia. where connec-
lions are made with other roads, will
not be made in the future, until after
the proposed new schedules have been
filed with the State Corporation Com
mission for its approval. This was
determined upon yesterday by the
State Corporation Commission after 1t
gave hearing to the railroads repre-
sentatives.
Among the railroad men attending
were: w. j. Craig. passenger traffic
manager of the Atlantic Coast Line of
Wilmington. N. c.. w. B. Bevi!l and
ID. f.. SpaIgler, of the Norfolk and
Western, of Roanoke.
Formerly railroads changed their
schedules without the matter having
gone before the commission. In num-
erous instances connections have been
so broken that the travelling public
was seriously inconvenienced. Because
of much complaint the commission
took the matter up with the railroads
and set yesterday, after post pone-
ment, as the date for hearing. The
railroads have agreed to furnish copies
of all proposed schedule changes ant,
reasons therefore before putting the
chan ges into effect.

POST0Ff|CE BROKE
NOVEMBER RECORDS
Receipts Were More Than Thirteen
Thousand Dollars Greater Than
For November Last Year.

Showing an increase of 1899 per
cent over those of November. 1914.
the receipts in the Richmond post
office for the month just closed broke
all previous November records. The
postal receipts for this Novem Der
were sSl. 572. 80. against s6s.5i99o the
same month last year, an increase Of
s13.02303.
This can be attributed only to the
general increase in business here,
there being no campaigns on during
November
From present Indications. this
month Will be better than any other
December in the history Of the Rich
mond postotfice. Last December the
rece pts were SS.68533. but the post
Office authorities are expecting moth
ing. Jess than a 90 per cent increase.
The receipts in the United States
ct-toms department were also very
encouraging, they being the largest
since October. 1913 Thcs receipts for
, the month just closed were sl06.-
I117.66, while those of November. 1914
were sS3427.72.
This large increase. according to
the collector. Is due largely to the
large withdra walls of tobacco from the
bonded warehouses which means an
Increase In the manufacture OF Gig

two or three weeks. Stiil there We're a
number of left-overs, who. had not
been able to pay their taxes before the
penalty of five per cent began to ac-
crhe.
IT must be borne In mind said Mr..
