WASHING rox, Nov. 1.-THE United
States to-day officially recognized the
new Congressional government Of
Chile The ceremonies incident To
recognition occurred IN the blue room
OF the executive mansion nj 1885
O clock, when President Harrison
formally received senior Don Pedro
Montt. the new Minister of Chile to
the United States and the secretaries
of legation. All the Chileans wore
evening dress. while Secretary Blaine
who made the presentation. was at
tired in Prince Albert coat, closely
buttoned TO the neck. Senior Montt,
upon being presented. said
Mr. PREslDENr:-l have the honor To
present the credentials which accredit
me in the capacity OF Invoy Extraor-
binary and Minister Plenipotentiary of
the Republic of Chile in the United
States of North America. The OBJECT
of mission which the government of
Chile has confided 10 me is to cultivate
and maintain the relations off peace
and friendship between the United
states and Chile which have ever boon
close and cordial FOR the accomplish
ment OF this purpose | rely upon the
kindness and good VIII which the
United States government has always
manifested for the representatives of
Chile Permit me To express my
country's sincere wishes tor the pros
perity and welfare of this noble coun-
try, which is so highly favored by
providence. and for your own happi-
ness
The President in responding said:
1.-The presence of a representative of
the government of Chile at the capital
we hope will tend TO promote n good
understanding between the two gov
ernments and the early settlement.
upon terms just and honorable to
both, of the diplomatic questions now
somewhat urgently awaiting adjust
ment. The government of the United
States. as well as the people, particu-
larly desire and rejoice in the prosper
ity of all its neighbors in this hemi-
sphere. Our diplomatic relations with
them have always been and will con-
tinue TO be free from intermeddling
with their national affairs Our people
are too just To- desire that the com
mercial or political advant &c OF this
government should lie sought by the
promotion of disastrous dissentions in
other countries. We hear with sor-
row every fresh tale of war or internal
strife, and are always ready 10 give
our friendly offices To the promotion of
peace. IL these are not acceptable or
do not avail 1t is our policy TO preserve
an honorable ana strict neutrality, as
was done during the recent war in
Chile. Tempting commercial and po-
ntical advantages may be offered for
our aid or influence by one or the
other of the contending parties, but
this we have not deemed TO be consist
ent with the obligations of interna-
tional honor and good will.
This government was quite as de-
termined in its refusal 20 allow war
vessel of the United States TO carry To
a neutral port, where IL could be avail
able for war purposes, the silver OF
Balmaceda--as IL was TO give aid to the
forces opposing him. The questions in
volved were Chilean questions, and
this government endeavored to OBJ
serve those principles of non-interven-
ton upon which it had 30 strongly in
sisted when civil war disturbed our
own people. cannot doubt that this
policy will commend itself To those
who now administer the government
OF Chile, nor can doubt that when
excitement has gwen place TO CAIN
ness, when the truth is asccrtained
and the sh and designing perver-
sions of recent incidents have been ex-
posed, our respective governments will
find basis OF increased mutual re-
spect confidence and friendship.
"Mr. Minister, this government and
our people rejoice that peace has been
restored in Chile. and that its govern
ment is the expression of the free
choice OF its people. You may assure
your honorcd President, who has tcen
chosen under circumstances which so
strongly testify 20 his moderation and
TO the esteem in which he is held by
the people of all parties. that the gov
eminent OF the United States enter
tains only good will for him and for
the people OF Chile. and cannot doubt
that the existing and all future differ
ences between the two government
will find an honorable adjustment
The presentation occupied about
fifteen minutes and at its conclusion
Secretary Blaine escorted the new
minister and secretaries to the door of
the executive mansion and shook each
