OUR CONTROL OF PHILIPPINES.
Means Extension O. Trade in East Asia.
 Says EX-Minister Barrett.

Shanghai, Jan. 24-Mr. John Barrett. e1-minister of the United Sta,es to Siams delivered a speech today at a meeting of the chamber of commerce, in the course Of which he said that the extension of American trade and influ- ence in East Asia was mainly depend ent upon the United States controlling the Philippines.
 The opponents Of expansion at home did not realize the unlimited opportuni- ties that would be lost if the United States did no. hold the islands, and America would be compelled to forever occupy a secondary position in the Pa cifc.
 He added that the difficulties of gov erning the islands were exaggerated. AguinaldO and his followers could be pacified by firm diplomacy. The occu- patton of the archipelago did not vio- late the Monroe doctrine.
 It was net an act of conquest. but of grave responsibility unavoidably in cured as the inevitable result of the war.
 In conclusion, Mir Barrett declared that all the nationalities mainly con- cerned desired the occupation of the islands by the Americans

the senior Of his American bride, had i strongly developed eyangalistic tenden | cies, which were perhaps partly re-
 sponsible for his making his weddiES | trip to Palestine He died from the | effects Of a malady contracted in the
 Holy Land; and after few years Of widowhood this Amerlcan-b0rn prin- | cess doffed her weeds in order to wed Count von Waldersee, one of the best | looking and eleverest officers of the Prussian army. Their residence at Berlin soon became the rendezvous of ali that was most brilliant in military. aristocratic, and court society. Tbe salons of the countess became famed for their influence, and it was through
 the latter that Pastor Steecksr n1anag- ed to obtain his appointment as court chaplain in defiance Of the opposition of the Empress Frederick and Of her husband, who at that time were crown
 prince and crown princess.
 The anti-Semitic movement in Ger many may be said to have originated 1n the drawing rooms of the countess, and it was there that Pastor Steecker was wont to denOunce the Hebrew race in the mes. virulent manner, to the un- disguised satisfaction of a brilliant au- dience that comprised frequently the present emperor and his young wife.
 While it is impossible to approve of this portion of the activity of the coun- tess, yst she deserves much credit for bringing round both the present ein- press and the young kaiser to more religious sentiments than these in which they were reared, and if the reign of Emperor William has been notable for the religious revivals throughout the length and breadc h of the land, as well as for the e1traordi- nary increase in the number of churches that have been built, it is en- tirely owing to the inflasnce of the American countess Of Waldersee upon her imperial nephew and niece.
 Empress Frederick was extraordi- narily jealous of the weigh. which the advice of the countess carried with William, and during the brief ninety days that~Emperor Frederick occupied the throne she took advantage there Of to cause an office to be assigned to the count, which had the resuI. of rem dering it necessary to remove his resi- dence from Berlin.
 In fact, the countess was in the early years of the kaiser's reign frequently described as the power behind the throne, and there is no doubt that the young empress owes to her aunt a deep debt of gratitude for the way in which she gave her advice, encourag cement. and support in the first years of her marriage, when her position at Berlin was very difficult-Marquise de Foate- noy in Washington Post.

SMALLPOX IN ROCHESTER,.
The Hotel Imperial and Its Forty
 Guests Put Under Quarantine.

Rochester, Jan. 24.-Yesterday after noon Dr. Goler, health officer, put the Hotel Imperial and it's forty guests un- der quarantine and announced that no one could enter or leave the house for two weeks. Two eases of smallpox were located in the hotel and a num- Der of additional cases were traced to the same source. The first intimatiOn of the cases was a telephone message received by Dr. GOler from Dr. Bing- ham of Charlotte to the effect that two eases of smallpox had been discovered in the town of Greece, and that they had come from the Imperial hotel in this city. As soon as Dr. Goler had re- ceived this news he went to the I'm perial and made an examination of it's inmates. H. found two women, a wait TESS and sister of the proprietor, each having unmistakable signs of smallpox
 The women had the disease in mild form and had almost recovered; in fact, the disease was in such light form that neither suspected she had it. When the regular army officers were here re- cruiting a number of recruits were sent to the Imperial to board until they could be forwarded to the various pCs.s. Among these recruits was Rob ert Lewis, who was later sent to Fort Niagara, where he is now suffering from the disease. He was sick over q week before the nature of his illness was discovered.
