These are offered you at about
half the original price.

GOVERNMENT OF CHILE.
The Council of State for the New AG
miniStration Now Complete

The Council of State for the New Ad-
ministration Now Complete.
SANTIAGO, Nov. 15.-The following
Council Of State for the new administra-
ton is now complete. Eleven members
were chosen, five by President Montt,
three by the Senate, and three by the
House of Deputies. The Council con-
sists of a Ministry, eX-officio members
of the courts of justice, ecclesiasti-
cal dignitary, General or Admiral,
Chief of Administration, Finance and
one Treasurer or diplomatic agent. The
council is supposed to advise the Presi-
dent to act as a check upon him. The
President inducts higher legal and Judi
cial functionaries, but the nominations of
these officers, as well as the ecclesiastical
dignitaries, must proceed from the coun-
Gil.
The council consists of two Conserva-
tiVes and nine Liberals. 1t was because
the Conservative party had no represent
alton on the council that Ministers
Irrarazabal and Walker MantineZ re-
signed the other day. Now that two of
their party have been chosen, the Minis
ters will probably consent to remain in
the Cabinet.
| am informed on reliable authority
that Thompson, correspondent of the
London Times, who has been sending
such sensational reports about the
American diplomatic and naval repre-
sentatiVes was, when in this country on
previous occasion, representative of a
number of English steel firms. He also
acted as occasional correspondent of the
Times.
Not successful in business enterprises,
he returned to Europe without securing
the contracts desired. His alleged mag
unanimous services in the interest of the
Junta at Lisbon now appear actuated by
the same desire. Having tailed to secure
contracts from Balmaceda, he thought he
might prevail upon the Junta to grant
them in the event of their triunphing
over Balmaceda. This explanation will
doubtless partly make clear his whole
course since his temperance here. BY
the gross abuse of everything American
he evidently hopes to gain his object.
Colonel Holley, Minister of War, is the
latest to resign from the Junta's Cabinet.
He and General Canto led the assault on
Valparaiso.
There is discomfort among the officers
of the new Government, owing to the
non-apportionment and non-receipt OF
pay promised at Iquique.
Word has been received that the United
States war ship Yorktown sailed from
Montevideo, Uruguay, this morning for
Valparaiso.
No significance is attached to the resig-
nation of Minister Holley. The reason is
that he has been elected general of the
division.

ForgerIes by Baird.
MADEIRA, Nov. 15.-As the examina-
ton of the books of the MADEIRA Bank and
the John Brown Colony proceed. the
number Of forgeries increase, and this
afternoon discoveries were made that
will enable the officers to compel Baird to
return to MADEIRA to face those he swim
died. a complaint has just been sworn
TO by d. NJ. Tomblin, Cashier of the
Bank of MADEIRA, charging Baird with
having on July 9th last forged the names
Of J. A. Jacobs and Sarah Young to a
promissory note for $500, payable on sight
to the Bank of MADEIRA. A second COM
plaiut, sworn to by Tomblin, is that on
June 18th of this year Baird forged the
names of George Eost, p. Connor and j.
y. Esington to a note for 81, 200, payable
on presentation.
Another complaint is forging Return
Roberts name on juno 10th to certifi-
cate for 200 shares of the bank stock,
which were sold to Z. II. Mcdonald, Jr.,
and last for forging the names of Yee
Chung, a Chinese merchant of Borden, a
town few miles south of here, and A.
Anderson to a note for $672. This was
dated June Goth. A fact of unusual in
terest is that Anderson died before the
issuance of the note. So far as known
the names connected with the other
forgeries are mythical. Bairds wife is
proStrated.
John Brown, founder of the colony,
passed through MADEIRA on his way to
San Francisco in answer to a telegram
from the Pacific Bank.
