Philadelphia. June 19.-On the historic spot at Valley Forge where Washington and his gallant boys of re suffered in order that the United States might become nation. President roosevelt de- liyered notable address todav
 This was "evacuation day& at Valley Forge and the occasion was cefeh3ated appropriately in the little edifce Which has been erected on what Is to be the site of the Washington monument church.

 Rosevelt's Remarks.
 Tt is a great pleasure to come here this afternoon and say a word on behalf of the project to erect a memorial chapel on this great historic site. Three weeks ago l was at the field where the bloodiest and most decisive battle of the civil war was fought; and it Is a noteworthy thing that this state of Pennsylvania should have within It's borders the places which mark the two turning points in our his tory-Gettysburg which saw the high tide of the rebellion-Valley Forge which saw the getting beyond of the danger point of the revolution There have been two great crises in our natural history, two crises where failure meant the abso- lute breaking in asunder or the nation one the revolutionary war, one the civil war. If the men who took arms in '76 for national independence had failed, then not merely would there never have been national growth of this continent, but the whole spirit of nationality for the younger lands of the world would have perished still born. If the men of '61 had failed in the great struggle for na- tional unity, it would have meant that the work done by Washington and his associates might almost or quite as well have been left undone There would have been no point in commemorating what was dnne at Valley Forge if Gettysourg

Mexico City June 19-The hiNhey courts have sustained the decision of NS lower court in the famous peonage cases.

 TO SHOW PAPERS
cELEsTIALs ARRESTED BY U. s. OFFICER AND LODGED IN JAIL FOR ALLEGED VIOLATION OF EXCLUSION ACT.

Three Chinamen are in the county jail on a charge of failing to have certificates as required by the Chinese exclusion act, passed in 1892 by congress. They were arrested by A. A. Seraphfc, officer In charge of the execution of the United States immigration and Chinese laws.
 The "ohiks" are Young Pou, Chung Pow s.nd Lum Nun, and there arc others in the district who are liable to land in the same place of MT Seraphic can locate them.
 According to the exclusion act all the Chinamen in this country at the time it was passed were given a certificate to that effect, which they call the Chi Ching. Ever since the act was passed which forbid Celestials from coming to this country, they have been snealxing In through Canada, and MT. Seraphic is af- ter them. Some of them he has chased through the country, from one city to an- other, and finally caught them. The three in jail here were unable to show their Chi Ching when the officer called on them, and he arrested them on warrants sworn out b, EioDer jn thi

 These are the first to be arrested in Birmingham, and 1t has caused a sensa- ton in Chinese circles. MT. Seraphio talks Chinese to some extent, and when he goes into laundry and demands their Chi Chings, they aii commense jRbber- ing at once. Those who have them pre- sent them proudly. while those who arc without. jabber for a while, try to resist and finally are carried away. Chief Wier has detailed Policeman Whaley to ac- company MT. Seraphic and show him the various Chinese places in tho city.
