ON THE HOUSE FLOOR CHILI’S MINISTER WITNESSES SOME CONGRESSIONAL FIGHTING. An Object Lcmmm) In the Combative Quall- tlee of North American*—Our Young Men ae Warriors—Chi IT* Hold lent Small er Than IHirs—Veteran* in Congress. (Special Correspondence. 1 Washington, Jan. 98.—Seoor Pedro Montt. the Chilian minister to the United States, was on the floor of the house of representatives a few days ago, curiously watching the proceedings and studying the faces of the representative men of America who were gathered about him to the number of 800. Minister Montt is a man of slight figure, with the quick, nervous movements char acteristic of the Spaniard. His skin is dark. I twenty, his hair jet black, his eyes keen and twin kling. He belongs to one of the grittiest families of Chrli. Among his ancestors have been two or three presidents of the republic and a,‘treat numlier of men promi neut in civil and military life. His cousin, Jorg e Montt, is now president of Chili, ami one of his uncles is the Chilian minister al Paris. Uon Pedro Montt is himself a member of the Chilian congress, and has been for fifteen years. In his country a man may be a member of congress and a cabinet minister or diplomatic representa tive at the same time, though he cannot draw more than one salary. Senor Montt remained for an hour in the American house of commons keenly watch Ingall that was going on about him and asking many questions of the two mem hers by whose side lie sat—Mr. Outbwaiti-. of the military affairs committee, and Mr. Hitt, the accomplished former chairman of the foreign affairs committee. The Chi I inn minister was often much amused at what he saw and beard, and he laughed and joked with his friends as If there w:i> no talk of war between hi* country and the United States. Mr. Outbwait* asked him wiiat were the chief differences lad ween the Chilian congress and the American house of representatives, and he replied •millngiy. “In my country the congress men do not all try to talk at the same time." Sen or Montt was much interested in the physique of the iuenil>ers of the house, i saw the minister at his home the next dwj and is speaking of bis visit to the hous« be expressed his surprise at the large mini lier of men of great frame whom he ban Keen. “Your men grow so much biggei than ours," he said. “1 saw* in your lions* of representatives fifty, yes, s hundred men larger than the largest man in Chili “Then you think we should easy people to whip?*' “Oh, as to that,” responded the minister with an expressive shrug of his shoulders. •iae doesn't count for much. Sometimes the smallest man make* the Imst soldier Our men are more accustomed to fighting than yours,” he added, with a smile hook what grim, “we are fighting nearly all the time, and have been throughout our na tional history. VVe are used to it, while your people have done no fighting for inon than a quarter of a century.” “Very true.” said l, “but you must re member that we are Anglo-Saxon*, large ly Knglish, German, Scotch and Irish, and where in the world will you Hud better fighters than these peopleP” “Well, we are not going to have any war with you,” said Senor Moult; “you are too big for us, individually and collectively.’ Since Senor Moult had mild this much in his easy, conversational way, and with no idea probably of Ireiug quoted in print- and I quote him Irecause what he said was entirely to hi* credit—I mad* bold to tell him that whoever tackled the United States would find ua anything but easy to master, and pointed to the desperate, bloody fighting in the war of the rebellion, the persistent attack of the stronger north and the stubborn, heroic defense of tin* south, for proof of my statement. “Hesidea,” I added, “if our young men do not know how to fight iMs-aus* of inex periencc. we have plenty of the veterans of our last war left to teach thmu. When you were In the house of representatives yes lerday you saw 3U0 typical American citi Kens. A large number of them impressed you as young men, no doubt, and it is u fact that alKMit fifty of them are under forty years of age and hence could not have served in a war which came to an end twenty seven yean* ago. Probably you will l>e surprised when I tell you that of the remainder fully one-half, or liK), served in the war between the states —on one side or the other. Twenty five of the members of congress whom you saw were wounded severely enough to lead them to mention the fact in their biographies, and many ot iers were wounded leas severely. Prob ably thirty of these men were captured as prisoners of war and spent time in military prisons on one side or the other. So, you see, my dear minister, that our race of fighters has not yet run out.” Minister Montt was somewhat aston ished at the figures which I gave him, and it realty is a surprising thing that twent y seven years after the close of the great war of the relielliou l.'W members of the popular branch of congress, num- bering in all 830, should be surviv ing veterans of that war. I wanted to tell Senor Montt, but thought under all the circumstances 1 had better not, that even if our new generation should prpve to l»e worthless as fighters, which is known to lie the belief of many of the min later’s countrymen, we have left enough veterans of the last war able to go to the front to whip half a dozen nations like Chili together. It is another remarkable fact that of seventy Height representatives now in con gress from the states which were in rebel lion, more than fifty were participants in the war. The meaning of this is that in the south nearly all the white boys a* well as the growr. men enlisted under the stars and bars. Naturally enough many of those Imys who survived became ambitious and popular men of affairs, and in time found their way to congress. The same thing is true to a lesser extent of the north, and hence it is Minister Montt, on the occasion of his visit to the house, saw a large num ber of congressmen whose youthful appear ance indicated that they could not have taken part in the war of the rebellion. Representative Clarke, of Alabama, en tered the Confederate army at seventeen and served throughout with distinction. Mr. Bankhead, of the same state, was a year older when he enlisted, served four years and was wounded three times. “Cliff” Breckinridge, of Arkansas, was born in IHlfi, and i>efore the war closed was in the Confederate navy. Cutting, of California, enlisted in a Chicago battery when a Imy of sixteen, was discharged for disability in 18tt2, but on recovering his health immediately re-enlisted. I anal, of the same state, ran away from his Massa chusetts home and went to sea at thirteen, enlisted from California at fifteen and nerved till the close of the war. If he wished to do so be ooukl enlist now, thus disproving the truth of the declaration which has been common enough in Wash Ington during the last few weeks, that no men who served in the late war l>et ween the states are young enough to come with In the age limit of forty-five years and en list again. Speaker Crisp is another example of the .Youthfulnes* of many of our soldiers In the late war. He was only sixteen when he enlisted, nerved three years with his regi nient, passed a year as prisoner of war in Fort Delaware, and then had time to study law and lie admitted to the bar in the year in which he reached his majority. Mai lory, of Florida, enlisted at fifteen, served through the war and then entered college ami secured an education. Martin, of In diana, went to the war at sixteen and •erved three years, then enlisted again. White, of Iowa, enlisted, or tried to do so, > « , at seventeen, ami was rejected, but wait<*l ; w ouIa a few months and then succeeded in his ambition to become a soldier. His col league, James Flick, managed to slip in at seventeen. Jerry Simpson went to the war at twenty. Kills, of Kentucky, put on the gray when he was a lad of sixteen and wore it nearly four years. Congressman Belknap, of Michigan, was one of the youngest soldiers In the war. He was born In October, 1848, and in Au gust, Ififtl, left school and enlisted. In Jsnnary, 1884, when only seventeen year* and three mouths old, he received a cap tala’s oommiiaion. Ha was three years in It* thickest of the fight aad waa voaadad •even times. John Allen, the famous funny man from Mississippi, tells many good stories of his youthful experiences in the war. He* w;u< even younger than Belknap, of Michigan, for he was Iwrn in July, 1817. and shoul dered a musket ami marched to the front in the winter of 1801 '■£, months la*fore he had reached hi* fifteenth birthday. An other boy soldier from .Mississippi now in congreHH is Catch lugs, who has come to the front this winter as one of the leaders of the house. He was only fourteen years and three months old when he put on the gray uniform. John Tarsney. of Kansas City, enlists at sixteen, was wounded at the battle ol Fredericksburg, was severely wounded ano captured st Gettysburg, wits for some lir;»' a prisoner of war at Belle Isle and Atider sonviHe. ami when exchanged ImmedIntel> went into the fight again and witness*- the surrender at Appomattox.

McDonald of New Jersey, was a soMie. before he whs seventeen. Wever. of Nov York,enlisted at sixteen. Bunn, of Nort Carolina, became a ('onfederate sharpshool erat sixteen. Pearson, of Ohio, went to tin front at seventeen. Stone,of Pennsylvania was only sixteen when he liecume a Unioi soldier Pierce, of Tennessee, jumped upoi a horse when he was only fourteen am offered hi* service* to the colonel of tic Ktghth Tennessee cavalry. He was woffnd ed nml captured in a cavalry fight and re ma I tied a prisoner of wir for more thnna year. lytultam, of Texas, was not fittcet when he took hi* place in the ranks of tin Third South Carolina regiment. Of course the Chilian mini ter was not hi the Capitol for that purpose, but if he ha* cared t« look alsmt him he could hav rested his gaze upon many men who hav made their records as among the be* fighting soldiers in the world.
