Denial from Ambassador Clayton.

WASHINGTON, March IA telegram
has been received by Secretary Hay from
Powell Clayton, United States ambassador
to Mexico, declaring that the charges
preferred against him connecting his name
with the ownership OF Mexican mining
stock, are false.
1t is said at the Department that there
is nothing in the law or regulations to
prohibit a minister or ambassador from
holding stocks or even engaging in business
in the country to which he is accredited.
1t is futher stated at the Department, and
this has an important bearing upon the
charges preferred against Ambassador
Clayton, that in every step taken By him
in the Mealy case, he acted with the ap.
proval and, in most cases, by the direction
of the Department.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. The mem

ton are much encouraged over the
assurances given at the recent hearing
before the military committee OF the
house of representatives at Washing
ton on the bin now pending in Con-
gress which provides for the purchase
of 1,4O0 acres Of land in Pennsylvania,
embracing the site Of Washingtons
camp. 4 memorial has also been pre-
sented to the president, from which
a favorable response is expected
The purpose Of the Valley Forge Ma
tional Park association is to restore
this historic ground to the condition In
which It was Immediately succeeding
It's occupation by the continental army
and to preserve 1t as "A national park
and military reservation. Something
has already been done in this direction
but nothing in comparison with what
should be done In view Of the impor-
tant place Valley Forge occupies In
revolutionary history. Had Washing

beyond that generation.
Some years ago the Centennial and
Memorial Association OF Valley Forge,
with the aid Of the Patriotic Sons Of
America, purchased the house In which
washington spent the dreary winter
months. This substantial structure OF
the gray granite which was used so
much in building IN colonial times has
withstood the storms OF more than a
century past and is today In perfect
state OF preservation.
There was q movement some years
ago In Pennsylvania TO make Valley
Forge state park, and in 1898 the
legislature voted $4,000 for this pur-
pose. A commission was appointed for
the purpose, which paid out the S25 900
for a tract of about 200 acres. Every
succeeding Legislature having refused
to make further appropriations, the
park commission became dormant and
the land that had been acquired was
neglected until now It is as wild as

when the continental soldiers built
their huts there.
During the last few years there has
been a growing sentiment that the gem
eral government should take steps TO
preserve this historic field, as II is more
OF national than Of state interest. The
movement OF the Valley Forge assoc
citation, which is composed OF repre-
sentatiyes OF various historical and pa
triotic societies, is therefore timely and
Commendable
Reasons other than those OF patriotic
sentiment are urged for making Valley
Forge a military reservation, As the
location Of a military base for the sec
tion Of country covered by Pennsylya-
MIA, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey
and New York It's site cannot be sur
passed. From there, II is urged, an
srmy could strike with equal facility
south, north or west, by main Travelled
roads. As a point Of Capitalization OF
supplies in the event OF war It Is ideal.
While II is extremely improbable, II is
by no means absolutely certain that
the last foreign foe has set foot upon
the soil Of America and the day might
come when Valley Forge would again
Lay as important a part IN the affairs
of our country as y did In the days Of
the revolution
Valley Forge Is reached from this
city by the trains Of the Philadelphia

have been known rs the Valley Forge,
though IN most legal documents Of the
day II retained the name Of Mount

II by William Penn, who, while explor-
ing the place, lost his way on the hill
south Of the Valley creek, which he
named Mount Misery, but when he
reached the tor OF the opposite noun
