A HOME BRITISH FLEET.
Admiraltys Nezo Distribution of
Naval STRENGTH.

London Oct. 24-With the view, apparently,
of meeting recent press attacks on the "starv-
ing OF the navy the Admiralty has issued cir
cular TO the navy which indicates the intention
of distributing the naval strength anew. The
circular announces that distinct fleet will be
constituted from the ships, to be called
the home fleet. under the supreme command Of
a flag officer with the status of commander IN
chief and headquarters at Sheerness. This fleet
will in every respect be organized with the view
of enhancing its value a fighting force. It
will make frequent cruises and battle maneu-
will be held.
The circular adds that the Admiralty will,
from time to time arrange the strength of the
nucleus crews on a sliding scale, so that the ves-
sells first required in will have the largest
compliments. The distribution of ships between
the Channel, Mediterranean, Atlantic and re-
serve fleets will be altered to permit of the
ganization of this home fleet. The circular
makes also the following announcement:
No ships will be paid off, no men will be sent
to barracks or instructional schools. and no al
teration will be made in the proportion OF off,
GERS and men serving afioat.
The circular does not indicate what ships or
how many Of them will be withdrawn from the
other fleets to constitute the home fleet and
merely says that interchanges will be made
whenever they conduce to the fighting efficiency
and convenience of the service. 1t concludes by
saying that the changes will be carried out
gradually and that the Board of the Admiralty
is satisfied that the more active training the
nucleus crews receive will add to the sea ex-

SIMPLHFIED SPELLING.
Indications That the Public Is Taking
Great Interest.


Notwithstanding the President was
criticised in some quarters for his adop
ton of the simpler form of selling, some
300 words in every day use, the
great American public is taking the
matter up seriously, it appears, from
the enormous demand for small pub
lie document issued by the government

the form is changed. This little book
let is sold for 25 cents, and the demand
has been enormous, says the following
Washington despatch
Demand for publications which the
public printer has issued relative to
simplified spelling has s''exceeded all ex-
pectations. That the interest aroused
thruout the country by the application
of u simplifed photography to 300 words
in all government publications is not
inspired by ridicule is apparent from
the constant stream of orders received
from representatives of all professions
and vocations. The set consists Of IL
pamphlet, small pocket brochure and
d wall card, the last two containing the
300 words affected by the presidents s
order
The pamphlet gives brer document
AIRY narrative of the events leading TO
the final action of the chief executive.
The now famous letter written at Oys-
ter Bay the latter part of August. in
which the order for the use OF the sim
plified forms was given to the Public
Printer Stillings, is the first document
presented.
The president attributes opposition
to simplified spelling to ignorance and
misconception of its scope and purposes,
and insists that it be given a fair trial.
Denial is made OF radicalism and the
public is assured that the language will
not be violently upset. Also the
suggestion is repudiated that there is
any affinity between the simplified spell
ling and the photographic acrobatics OF

The board will in due time make sug-
gestions OF its own. 1t will propose
further qualifications of the same sort.
1t will advocate the casting ont OF cer-
tain letters which are not sounded now, j.,
which do not affect the pronunciation
according TO existing analogies; and
which merely cumber the photography.
The board can assure all who cherish
the sentiment of loyalty to their moth
er tongue that simpliications of spell
ling will not obscure the meaning or
origin of single word. In this state

English Women and the Ballos.

English Women and the Balloe.
Probably the majority Of Americans
not directly interested In the spread OF
suffrage have failed to notice that In
England the question of woman's en-
franchisement has been agitated with
spirit; hence the fact that q delegation
of suffragists recently gave the Camp
bell-Bannerman ministry bad quar-
ter of an hour" came as a surprise.
These women appeared as a large and
enthusiastic delegation. representing
every grade of respectable society.
They had In mind no halfway meas
ures, their united voices being for suf-
frage unrestricted and immediate.
They did not court the receipt OF prom
ises, but came armed with q minimum
demand for immediate legislation be-
slowing upon them the privilege Of
voting.
With only four American states en-
toying equal suffrage, 1t cannot -bs
said that the English women suftra-
gists are mere imitators In a move
ment that has triumphed elsewhere.
The question has been widely debated
here. but there has been little to show
that American women universally de-
sire the ballot. In fact, at the iegisis-
i've hearings on the subject the wOm-
en- opposed to the granting OF the suf-
frage to their sex have turned out in
numbers and with a weight Of names
at least as convincing as the array Of
their sisters who want to vote. When
the women OF America or Of England
unite In demanding political rights
their demand will receive most respect
ful and obedient attention. The right
to the ballot carries with 1t the obliga-
ton to use 1t, burden which legisls-
tors will be slow to impose upon the
wives and mothers of the nation In
the present state Of society.
