Basic W00Ien Mills,

We are pleased to note that arrange
ments for the esta ablishment Of large
Woolen Mill for the manufacture of
blankets at Basic City are now pro-
crossing most favorably. Steps have
been taken to secure certain proper
ties there for the purpose, and we are
informed by the promoters of the en-
terprise that there is every reason to
believe that the enterprise will be es-
tablished. The capacity of the plant
will be 1900 blankets per week with a
pay loll of five to six hundred dollars.
If the project is consummated it will
mean a good deal for the two towns,
and the efforts now being made to
locate it should meet with the warm
sympathy and cooperation of our peo-
ple-Valley Herald.

RusSlEs PEACE PROPOSITION.
United States Not Committed to Anything
Definite.

In discussing the Chinese situation
with a group Of newspaper men Sun
day, says the Washington correspond
ent of The News and Courier, Acting
Secretary Hill called attention to a
mistaken impression prevailing in the
minds of many persons concerning the
status of the United States in connec-
ton with Russia's proposition. His re-
marks were suggested by numerous In
quiries based on the theory that the
United States occupies the position OF
having adopted the proposition to with
draw the international troops from Pc
kin pending peace negotiations.
Mr.. Hill went on to say that the Uni
ted States government received Rus
sias proposition just the same as other
nations After due consideration re-
ply was framed and forwarded to the
Russian government. At the same time
the representatives Of all Of the other
nations interested were supplied with
copy of our reply and the same was
given to the press for publication.
There was nothing in our reply to Rus
sia requiring that other nations should
send their answers to Russia's propo-
sition to the United States government.
Their responses must be made origi-
nally to the Russian government. Ac-
cording to diplomatic usage, after their
responses have been made to Russia,
copies of the same will, in all proba-
bility, be furnished the United States.
Some Of the nations have not been as
prompt as the United States in max
ing answer to Russia. and therefore 1t
is impossible to anticipate the ultimate
fate of the Russian proposition. The
United States Is in no way responsible
for it and only accedes to 1t under the
conditions set forth in our official re-
ply That, said Mr.. Hill, Is the status
of the United States so far as the Rus
sian proposition is concerned, and it
would be idle to speculate. on hypothet-
ical questions as to what course the
United States may pursue under re-
mote contingencies.
In any and all negotiations likely to
follow in connection with the settle
ment of the Chinese problem, the United
States does not propose to lose sight Of
our open door, policy in dealing with
China. 1t is supposed that one or more
of the powers who originally sanction
ed the American open door proposition
might be glad of an opportunity or a
reasonable pretext to depart from the
written agreement already on file in
the department of state. 1t is to safe
guard that agreement and to endeavor
to hold all the parties to lne same up
to their original declarations in favor
of open commercial relations with Chi
ma. 1t is with this object in view
that the United States deems it advisa-
BILE to pursue a conservative. consist
ent and at the same time a practical
business policy in dealing with the Chi
neSe situation.

The Funeral Of Mr. Riddle.
The funeral Of Mr.. ]. H. Riddle last

pretty generally throughout the town
and almost everybody went to the
Presbyt. rian church. Of whicn Mr.. Rid
die was a member. The service was
conducted by Rev. w. G. Neville, and
was singularly appropriate throughout.
The minister's words to Mr.. Riddles
parents were like a healing balm to
sore wounds. What he had to say to
and about the little orphan boy touch
ed every heart and made a profound
impression upon all who heard. The
service was short; but complete. A
profusion Of beautiful flowers. some
from Baltimore, bore silent tribute to
the thoughtful esteem Of bereaved
friends. The interment, as already in
dicated, was with Masonic honors.
Coming October 2.

Is a love story full of adventure and
startling situations. William Wood, q
handsome young man, captain In the
English army, is unexpectedly left $l5,-
OOO. 900 by an American uncle. A band
of conspirators, who know really more
about the fortune and the affairs Of

plot to get possession Of the cash. Two
of them abduct Captain Wood and car
nv him off to sea while the others sail
for the United States to take posses
sion of his fortune. They also take
with them some highly important state

consequence greatly interested. Sir
Charles Collingham, WOODS superior
officer. and Miss Frida Fairholme, his
sweetheart-"A GIRL OF GRIT.
They devote themselves to the work OF
foiling the conspirators. The import
ance Of the papers involved brings the
British government into the search and
places a man of war at the disposal or
the searchers. Captain Wood escapes
from his captors and takes passage In
disguise upon the same ship the plot
ters have boarded. The oVerhauling OF
the shin in midocean by the man of war,
the recapture of the important papers,
the undoing Of the conspirators just as
the ship is entering New York harbor,
the reunion of Captain Wood and his
plucky sweetheart, are all dramatic In
cidents in the story, which Is full OF
movement from beginning to end.
