The selection of names for the ves. seis or war wm soon ciemaim me alien tion of the Secretary of the Navy. Those at present nameless are the two 3,000 ton cruisers building iu the navy yard, the three 2,000 ton cruisers under contract and the 8,100 and 5,500 ton cruisers and steel practice vessels now under advertisement. These ships are at present designated by numbers, which answers well enough for those directly connected with their construction, but for the general public is inadequate and confusing. The five first referred to would probably have been named ere this but for the delayed action on the bill, which passed tho senate some months ago, changing the method of naming war ships.

The pending bill provides that battle ships shall be named after states, cruisers after cities, uuarmored const defense vessels after rivers and armored coast defense vessels after impottant events av names connected with the hist irk'. United States. In the opinion of Chairman in which the Secretary of the Navy concurs, it would be much more satisfactory to the general public to be able to judge of the size of a vessel by its name rather than by its type. The sizes are so varied that the name cruiser or battleship does not indicate anything in regard to displacement, which is usually the first question that arises in one's mind when desiring tc know anything about a new ship. Boutelle therefore favors displacement as the governing factor in naming new vessels.

He also contemplates an amendment to the pending bill prescribing a rule for assigning officers to command vessels GENERAL MARKETS. Ji CHICAGO. Wheat Higher: April, 88Xc; July. 8M(Xc. Corn Lower: May, ffifcc; July, Oats Hip-her: Slay.
