Beat for beat the Constitution won over

deeper into the waves than did either
of the other boats, but 1t had no retard-

trary, the new craft seemed to like the

away from her opponents the fastest.

Sketch Of Corey.
Pittsburg. Pa, June s0.-William 3.
Corey is president of the Carnegie Steel
company. the National Steel company and
the American Steel Hoop company.
Mr.. Corey has been connected with the
steel industry since his sixteenth year.
His first position was In the laboratory OF
the Edgar Thompson steel works where
he imbibed a fund of practical knowledge
which he has ceaselessiy striven to de-
veiop and apply. While still engaged in
the laboratory, he studied bookkeeping
and devoted his evenings at home to the
study of chemistry. He later entered
the department of the Carnegie works at
Homestead where his career was marked
by a series of steady upward advances
until he succeeded Charles NJ. Schwab as
president of the Carnegie Steel company.
An important achievement of Mr.. Corey
was the invention of the Carnegie reforged
armor, which won for him the deserved
recognition of all those familiar with this
important branch of the Industry.

RESERVATIONS IN PORTO RICO
OF LANDS FOR USE BY THE
COVE EMINENT.

Oyster Bay N. Y, June O.--After a
conference with Governor Hunt. President
Roosevelt today signed formal order
making reservations Of lands In the island
of Porto Rico for the purpose OF this gov
ernment. The action was taken under the
provisions Of law passed at the first
session Of the Fifty-seventh congress,
which authorized the President to make
the reservations before July 1, 1903. All
lands not reserved will accrue to the
island OF Porto Rico In the aggregate
more than $1,000 acres OF land were in
yolved. Under the old Spanish regime

volyed that 1t could not be determined
from any available records TO whom they
belonged They could not be sold. be-
cause the government of Porto Rico
could not give a clear title to them. The
enabling act passed by congress cleared
the situation.
BY the Presidents action, reservations
of the public lands are made for the war.

the department Of justice.

The sheriff returned the fire, emptying his
