 of the said party of the first part, that the real estate hereinbefore con- 

 veyed shall have been diverted from the pnrposes of this trust, to be 

 gathered from tbis iustrument in all its parts and provisions, so as 

 substantially to defeat or plainly to be inconsistent with and repugnant 

 to this trust, construed and inter^jreted in a liberal and sensible spirit ; 

 and thereupon, as in case of a breach of a strict condition-subsequent, 

 the heirs, devisees, assigns, or other proper legal representatives in the 

 premises of the said William W. Corcoran, shall be entitled to re-enter 

 upon the said real estate as of his, the said Willim W. Corcoran's, right 

 and title prior to the execution of these presents, and as if the same 

 had never been executed ; and in like manner all and every other estate, 

 property, chattel, or valuable thing, the title to Miuch shall have pro- 

 ceeded in the premises from the said William W. Corcoran to the said 

 trustees or their successors and assigns, shall, as far as may be consist-

 and assigns of such survivor, shall execute such conveyances as maybe 

 necessary' to transfer the whole property of this trust to such corpora-

 service of the United States, been rented and occupied for the public 

 use, without any special contract, but subject to the constitutional pro- 

 vision that " private property shall not be taken for public use without

 rents, issues, and profits of the ground and buildings which he had here-
