THE CONSTITUTION GOES OUT.
August Belmont Trys the Cup De-
fender In m stiff Rreeze

NEWPORT. r. l.. May 26.-The defend
er Constitution was taken out for short
spin this morning for the benefit of Com
modore August Belmont who was not
, present at the builders trial last week.
1t was a bright morning, and there was
stiff breeze blowing from the southeast,
puffy at times, and on this account only
the lower sails of the yacht were used.
She left her mo0rings back of the torpe-
do station at 9:35 o'clock and under main
sail, forestaysail, and jib started up the
bay on the starboard tack. Mr.. Duncan
and Mr.. Belmont were on board and Cap
tain Rhodes was at the wheel. After run
ming over by. Rose Island the sheets were
hauled fiat and the yacht started up the
bay at great speed. She seemed to make
more disturbance forward than on her
builders trial trip, and the water rolled
up on either side in white foam. she
carried the proverbial bone in her teeth
and left quite wave astern.
She listed well over, the crew leaning
well over the weather rail. She continued
up the bay on the broad reach. until
nearly up to Prudence Island, when she
came about and started back down the
bay on the port tack. Mr.. Belmonts ten
der, the Scout, followed the Constitution
on the trip.
On the way down an attempt was made
to take the yachts time over the Gov
ernment's measured mile course, and it
was roughly made at 4 minutes and 35
seconds. 1t may have been half minute
more. as the launch from which the
time was taken was unable to keep up
with the yacht, and the time at the finish
had to be estimated This is considered
very fast sailing, with nothing but lower
sails.
When abreast Rose Island the Consti-
tuition took in her head sails and shot up
to her moorings abreast the tender
Mount Morris. Mr.. Belmont is very
much pleased with the yacht.
This afternoon scores of sailboats and
launches with pleasure parties went out
to the yacht and photographs were taken
of her by both amateurs and profess
sionals. Hard work drilling the crew will
begin tomorrow and will continue daily
whenever the weather viii permit.
Mr.. Duncan, in response to the ques-
tion as to what the programme for the
Constitution would be, said that 1t would
be the regular work of tuning up" He
expressed himself as very much pleased
with the yacht.

SURVEYORS DRIVEN BACK.
Louisiana Farmers Fear for the
Safety of Their Homestends.


NEW ORLEANS, May ga mob of
armed farmers near Edgerly, in Calca-
sieu Parish. today drove out mining
lawyer and an engineering party, some
twenty in number who We're surveying
preparing TO obtain the mineral rights Oh
all homesteads in the parish.
The moyeme-t against the surveyors
which has been gaining force for some
days. is the result Of the discovery of oil
in Calcasieu Parish. and the consequent
demand for lands in that region. Most
Of the farms in Calcasieu are homesteads.
Many holders, however, have not yet COM
pleted their patents. This gives an out
slider the right TO buy the mineral rights
Of these lands by paying cash.
4 demand was made on the United
States land office in New Orleans for
list Of all the homesteads where the pat
cnts have not been completed. This be-
ing refused, a party set out from Texas
composed Of several engineers and backed
by some twenty CaIifornians, 20 make an
examination and survey of the home
steads in the parish. 1t is understood by
Calcasieu farmers that this party was en-
p.oyed by the Standard Oil Company, and
it was rumored that this company in
tended to buy UP the mineral rights on
all homesteads.
This rumor caused great deal of ex-
citement. When the surveying party
reached Buxton's Creek, near Edgerly,
some of the leaders Of the farmers rode
up and ordered the surveyors at once to
abandon their work. There was a dis
position TO resist at first but when it WIS
found that there were $50 armed men in
the party the engineers abandoned their
survey and surrendered all the notes, pa
pers, and certificates they had
The engineering party declared that
they were not attempting to deprive any
settler Of his homestead but only to To-
cate some land they had bought in that
section.
