VIII BE Manufactured by q Newly
Organized Company.

E. ]. Robinson, of this city, announced
yesterday that he had organized a COM
pany of New York and Chicago capital
lists, in which were several stockholders
of the Contra Union Telephone Company.
and would begin the manufacture OF Port
land cement on a large scale at Bedford
at once. The new plant will cost 100000
and will make it's product from oolitic lime
stone. This was decided after several ex-
haustive tests by Professor Bravender. Of
Warmers, n. Y, as to the relative values
of oolitic limestone and mari for producing
cement. These tests demonstrated that the
mari contained SO per cent. of carbonate OF
lime, which is the active principle Of ce-
ment, whereas the oolitic stone contained
SO. Is per cent.
Professor Bravender made, in all, fifty
four tests. nineteen of which were at South
Bend on samples of mari taken from the
extensive beds of northern Indiana. The
Importance Of the discovery, asiue from the
organization of Mr. Robinson's company,
is, in the fact that it opens up an entirely
new field of industry in Indiana and will
probably attract large amounts of outside
capital to the limestone deposits Of this
State.

HANLY NOT A CANDIDATE.
He Makes the Announcement Again
Political Points.

1t is said that several strong political
friends of j. Frank Hanly are preparing to
present his name as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Governor. What
ground there is for the rumor nobody has
been able to learn, as but few prominent
Lafayette people have been in the city of
late. Moreover. Mr.. Hanly has assured
both his friends and the public that he
does not care TO be Governor, and the sup
position is that he intends to make another
race for the United States senatorship at
the expiration of Senator F~airbanks's term.
AT Lafayette yesterday he said he was not
a candidate. for Governor.

UNDER PAIN OF DEATH,

Chinese Government 1ssucB ICdlGt Pro-
hibiting the "Isoxcrs."
LONDON. May 3l.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says:
The Chinese government has issued
an edict prohibiting the "Boxers" or.
ganization under penalty Of death,
which is signed by the emperor and is
couched in equivocal terms and promul-
gated more as an excuse than in con-
demnation Of the movement.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The SUPPOSE
ton here is that the edict referred to.
was issued rs result of the pressure of
tho foreign legations in Pekin. The
dispatches from China heretofore have
stated that the diplomatic corps had de-
cided to ask the Chinese for
eign Office to define explicitly
the measures the government intended
to take in dealing with tho BOXERS"
and the edict prohibiting the organiza-
ton under penalty Of death is in all
probability the response to the repre-
sentations made. That the document
is couched in oquivocal terms is not sur
prising to officials here who are &C.
quainted with conditions in China The
empress belongs to what is known as
the reactionary party in Chinese poll
tics, and the emperor being under her
influence it is not surprising that the
edict is rs stated more Of an excuse of
the movement than condemnation
