 Sir John when asked what he thought of sinplified spelling said; Tn my opinion the English language is the worst-spelled language in the world President Roosevelt's attempt to cor. rect It is very laudable one. The German nation is far ahead of us, as for the last five years they have had 8 method of simpllfted spelling"
 Asked as to the possibility of the in. troduction of any form of simplitiet spelling in the English schools, Sir Johr replied: Well, probably simplified spelling will amount to as much as the decimal law has in England. The Eng fish people are slow thinking, and some of them laughed when President Roose, welt sought to simplify spelling, but ht is more broad-mlnded than some oi them. Well, we're an old nation ant take things slowly. It seems to mt that the new spelling would be mos feasible in international affairs"

Bitterest Opposition.

Convention Hall, Buffalo, Sept. 27.-- At a session which began at 7:45 last night and continued until 2:20 this morning the democratic state conven- ton nominated a state ticket with William Randolph Hearst at the head of it. MT. Hearst already was Tn the field as the gubernatorial nominee or the Independence league, which he was instrumental in organizing.
 The democrats also took from the In dependence league ticket Lewis Stuy- vesant Chanler, of Duchess, for lleu- tenant-governor and John 5. Whalen of Monroe, for secretary of state The other nominees have no place on the Independence league ballot.
 Mir. Hearst was nominated with SoS votes, only 226 being necessary for a choice. Congressman William Sulzer received for governor 124 votes, and John A. Dix, of Washington, received the complimentary vote of seventeen delegates, making 450 in all,
 The nomination of MT. Hearst was made in the face of the bitterest oppo- sition ever waged in democratic con- vention in this state. The minority, which cast it's ballots for MT. Sulzer, has known for several days that 1t was beaten. This fact was made sure in the last session, when test vote on the majority report of the committee on contested seats showed Hearst's sup norters to be in absolute control.
 Under the gtlise of advocating the candidacy of MT. Sulzer a number or MT Hearst's party opponents took the stage and amid storms of cheering and missing denounced and arraigned the man they know was to be the party s candidate in the most remarkable ser ies of speeches ever hurled at man to be named for high office
 The advocates of MT. Hearst answer ed these attacks, the most effective of the utterances being uttered Tn his behalf by Congressman Bourke Cock ran of New York, who declared that Hearst was not his personal choice, the demand that he be nominated had come from every section of the state and was not to be denied.
 The full ticket follows:
 For governor - William Randolph Hearst of New York.
 For lieutenant governor-Lewis stuy- yesant Chanler of Duchess.
 For secretary of state-John S.. Whalen of Monroe.
 For state controller ' Martin H. Glynn Of Albany.
 For attorney general ' William s. Jackson of Erie.
 For state treasurer-Julius Hauser of Suffolk.
 For state engineer and surveyor Frederick w. Skene of Queens. (For account of republican convention and nomination of Charles F. Hughes for governor see Page 3.)

STUBBORN FIGHT EXPECTED.
Western Senators Declare That the
Philippine Bill Will Fail.

The statement was made today by 4 re-
publican senator of influence that in his
opinion the Philippine tariff bill will not be
reported by the Senate committee on finance
in the shape that it passed the House. He
said that the bill would have to be mate
rally amended, and that unless it was
amended to meet the wishes of the friends
of the American sugar industries it prob
ably would not pass the Senate
Senators, democrats and republicans, from
the far western states. where the beet sugar
industry Is growing, have no hesitancy in
declaring outright that the bill shall not
pass There is no question that a very
stubborn fight VIII be made against the
measure. The high protectionists in the
Senate, whether with beet-growing eonstft-
uencies or not, will be appealed to In the
fight against the bill.
1t is recalled. however, that just as stub
born opposition was made to the Porto
Rican bill, and later to the Cuban reeiproc-
ity legislation. Those were administration
measures, as the Philippine bill is, and they
finally prevailed in spite of all the efforts of
the opponents.
There Is a feeling of skepticism in Con-
gress of the real ground for the fears OF the
beet sugar people. 1t is not thought that
the industry can be harmed. In the next few
years, at least, by the stimulation given the
sugar growers of the Philippines, and many
senators are favoring the bill on sentimental
and humanitarian grounds, and do not be-
lieve that home industries will suffer.

INCENDIARISM CHARGED.
Country Residence of w. c. Lord De-
stroyed by Fire Yesterday,

The country residence of Mr.. w C. Lord
an electrician of this city, near Ardwick
station, on the line of the Pennsylvania
railroad, was destroyed by fire about 2:4O
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and there has
arisen a suspicion that the con1agration
was the work of incendiaries. Mr. Lord
and his family are spending the winter in
this city, and the building has therefore
been vacant since the cold weather set in
Mr.. Lords mother went out to the coun-
try place yesterday, and after she had
started on her return to Washington, and
had gotten as far as Ardwick station, she
says she saw two suspicious looking strang-
ers, apparently tramps, leave the house.
An hour or SO after her return to this city
Mr.. Lord was notified by wire that his
residence had been burned to the ground.
1t is suspected that the two tramps fired
the premises.
Another report is to the effect that Mr..
Lords mother built a fire in a stove or
fireplace while she was in the house and
went away leaving the fire there, and
that in some unknown manner the flames
were communicated to the furniture, result
ing in the destruction of the building and
its contents. The residence is insured for
S3.000, which, 1t is believed, will nearly
cover the loss
