Senor Walker-Martinez, Cleverest of South American Diplomats, Be- gan His Public Career as a Journalist. : The Chilian legation has long beem a notable one at the American cap- ital. The little republic, besides its mines and cattle, is rich in great men, and some of its most eminent sons have been sent as representatives to that greater republic which ail the na- tions of South America are coming to regard as a kind of sympathetic older sister. The new Chilian minister, Dom Joaquin Walker-Martinez, is one of the most noted statesmen of the coun try which he represents, and at the ent Pan-American congress in Mex- ico, to which he was a delegate, add- ed to his reputation as a shrewd andt sound legislator that of a brilliant de~ bater. Mr. Walker-Martinez began life, like so many of the successful politicians of the day, as a journalist, and by the vigor of his work, his high ideals, the stand he took on current questions, attracted the attention of his party,, and he was asked to stand as a dele- gate to the house of deputies, where,! re | in 1891, he was one of the most active! and devoted workers in the fight be- tween President Balmaceda and the congress. For this efficient service he was appointed minister of finance of, the recently created government board, which portfolio he later on ex- changed for that of minister of war, being present at the hotly contested battles of Concon and Placilla, where his party triumphed. etory being assured, Mr. Walker- Martinez was one of the first of the ministers to return to the capital, where he assumed charge of the cab inet until the return of his colleagues from the seat of hostilities, and in the reestablishing and reorganizing of the | government took an active and intel- | ligent part. No official worked more zealously or with greater devotion for the eredit of his party than Mr. Walk |er-Martinez at this crucial time, and his service was abundantly recognized by the gratefal people, who presented the young statesman with a country; home near the capital, whither he red | industr /, commerce and the buying 01 / tired to enjoy a well deserved rest and Upon the above rests the! to recuperate from the exacting work, and the strain he had been under dure | ing the civil trouble. !
