SUCCESSFUL MEETING.

M. g. Revival Services were Held
Again Last Night and will be Con.
tinued Tonight.
DR.. M. F. Compton returned from
Moundsville in time to conduct an
other very successful revival at the
M. E. church last evening. On &C.
count of the very severe weather the
church was not crowded with people
as it was last week, but there was q
good sized interested audience, one
that went to work actively to help
the pastor in saving souls.
Services and an altar meeting
will be held again this evening and
tomorrow evening. DR.. Compton
had decided to discontinue the
meetings last week, but at the close,
there we're so many people who had
asked for prayers, but had not yet
protested a change of heart, that he
could not give them up. His love
for souls induced him to hold three
more services this week and plead
With them to surrender to the Sa-
yior.

NEW SETH BULLOCK STORY
He Of the Fierce Mustache and
Sombrero Is Entertained by
the President.
New York Sun Special Service.

AoAA
Washington, Feb. 24.-Seth Bullock of
South Dakota was the guest of honor t
luncheon yesterday, and late in the after
noon went out horseback riding with the
president. Bullock is chief forest. ranger
for the Black Hills district and is in Wash
fngton on official business with the inte-
| rior department. When President Roose-
Welt heard he was in town he sent for
him and they had fine time renewing old
acquaintance
Bullock was the first marshal of Dead
wood, and he has been known as "a bad
man with a gum ever since the Black
Hills excitement of twenty Of thirty years
ago. When Mr. Roosevelt made his cam
paign tour through the west in 1900, Bull
lock accompanied him through South Da-
kota. 1t was rumored that Bryanites were
planning to break up the Roosevelt meet
ing in Deadwood:
Don't you worry said Seth Bullock
to Mr.. Roosevelt. Leave that to me;
I'll fix EN- On the afternoon before the
meeting he passed around the word in
Deadwood that he would sit on the plat
form with Roosevelt that evening armed
with his shooters and that he would
kill any person who made disturbance.
Bullock attracted general attention around
the White House. He has a fierce. melO-
drama mustache and wears a sombrero.,

CARIBBEAN IS
AMERICAN SEA
Agreement Signed With Cuba for
the Naval Station at Guam
tanamo.
An Important Coaling Station Is
Also Secured at Bahia
Honda.
The United States Is Likely tt
Leave the Isle of Pines for
the Cubans.

Wednesday, Feb. 24.-President Roose-
welt has signed the agreement drawn I'M
der the terms OF the Platt amendment
providing for the acquisition by the
United States of a, naval station at Guam
tanamo and a coaling station at Bahia
Honda, both in Cuba.
The document had been previously
signed by President Palma and was
brought to Washington by Minister
Squiers. 1t does not specify the price Of
the properties to be acquired by the
United States and this detail is left to be
settled by the usual legal condemnatory
proceedings after the navy department
has decided exactly the amount of
land it wishes.
With these two places properly fortified
as naval bases the Gulf of Mexico would
not be possible of occupation by hos
tile fleet and the Caribbean sea would be
unsafe for enemy.
Guantanamo will be the more important
of the two bases and within short time
there will be erected extensive coal docks
and perhaps short line Of railroad will
connect the port with the backbone rail-
road already finished by private enter
prise. Bahia Honda will for some time
probably be used simply as place for
the storage of COAL
Mr. Squiers will leave for New York
this evening and expects to sail for Ha-
vana tomorrow. He has cleared up to
the cOHlpieCe Sdt1SliCtlOll u lie SIo &c
department the important charges con-
flded to him, with the single exception of
the settlement of the possession of the
Isle of Pines. and this cannot be ar
ranged here. He will undertake that set
tlement in Cuba. The indications now
are that the United States government
will not press strongly In this matter, al
though there are important American in
terests clamoring for termination OF
the present unsatisfactory conditions. The
reason for the indifference is, first. the
unavailability Of the island as naval
base. owing to the shallow water sur
rounding it. and second the really strong
sentimental attachment of the CubanS for
the place which would cause a feeling
of resentment towards the United States
In the event that the island was taken
away.

New York Sun Special Service.

Boston. Feb. 24.--Mrs. Jack Gard
ner's mysterious and much talked-of We
netian palace and museum Of fine arts
In the Fens had quasi public opening
yesterday. For the occasion 200 tickets
at 81 each had been issued, but only 1870
We're taken at the door, and 25 cents was
charged for catalogue. Contrary to gen
eral expectation there was no rush on the
part Of the public to inspect the many
art trea sures contained in the building
and Mrs. Gardner herself was not in evil
dence during. the. time the palace was
open to the public.
Later it is announced. the structure
will be thrown open to the public as a
genuine art museum and at much lower
price. Most of those who attended were
women, and the apparent desire of the
most of them was to see the owner rather
than the works of art. So
The building itself was originally an
Italian palace. 1t was brought over al
most stone by stone and set up on it's
present site with great care.
All but the upper floor Of the building is
entirely given up to objects Of art and to
antiquities. The doors and many of the
furnishings are relics brought from ia
NOUS historical buildings abroad. The
most striking feature is the courtyard
covered with glass and filled with tropical
trees and flowers in full growth even at
this time. About the court yard are
cloisters, and these contain statuary, has
reliefs. and antiques. Inside the rooms
filled with rare and costly paintings,
tapestries and furniture, many being of
great age and with historical associa lions
OF great value.
