SANTIAGO, Chile, September 13.-The
formation of new civil cabinet,
headed by Aloibiades Roldan, has
considerably relieved the nervous
tension here and it is felt that the
political situation now will rapidly
return to normality.
The principal work Of the new
government Is the reconstruction of
the national finances and the prepa-
ration of bases for the convocation OF
a constituent assembly to draw up q
new constitution.
A number OF functionaries ap-
pointed personally by former Presi-
dent Alessandri rendered their resig-
nations today, but the government
accepted only those handed in by po-
litical appointees. No protests have
been made thus far either by indi-
viduals or groups against the disso-
luton Of congress. Acceptation of
the resignation of Senior Alessandri
is regretted by his admirers, but has
produced no unfavorable comment.
The announcement was made today
of the dissolution OF the Railroad
Consulting Board. 1t was stated that
the government believed that a more
efficient service could be maintained
without the board.

Speculation at its widest was
shown in the South Sea Bubble" a
$4,000, 900 project launched by Rob-

ers, sold out, and thousands were
heggared with the drop of the stock.

SHRINE ART WORK
CARTOONS READY
Models Complete for Print
ing Designed as Gift to Lo-
cal Catholic Institution.

Word was received at the Catholic
University yesterday that Count Muc-
cioli, director OF the studio of mo-
saics, in the Vatican, has finished the
cartoons which will serve as models
for the painting In oils from which
will be reproduced the mosaic of
Murillos "Immaculate Conception"
which Is to be the gift of Pope Plus
to the National Shrine of the Immac-
ulate Conception now under construc-
ton at Brookland. The cartoons, it
is reported. were made from an au-
thentic copy Of the original painting
which Count Muccioli was sent by
the Pope to Madrid especially to-
make.
The gift of the. mosaic for the Ma
tional Shrine was the generous i'm
pulse of Pope Benedict XIV, but death
prevented his keeping his pledge.
Pope Plus, however, faithfully re-
spected it, and the work is now in
progress.
Two Pictures by Muriuo.
There are two pictures by Murillo
in the Prado Galleries in Madrid, and
the one selected by the Pope, by
unanimous consent of artists, the
most delicate picture of the Immacu-
late Conception ever painted by Mu-
riIlo.
The dimensions for the mosaic sent
from Washington are 275 by 100
meters" said Rev. DR.. Bernard A.
Mckenna- director of the national
Shrine. THE mosaics, therefore, will
be larger than the original at the
Prado; in this the figures are q lit
tie under life size. while they will be
a little above in the mosaic.
Count Muccioli thinks that the COPY
In oils will be ready by the end of
the present year" said DR. NICK emma.
"A reproduction in mosaics will re-
quire at least year and a half

work will be ready for shipment to
