The naming of vessels of the navy is
regulated by law. Vessels of the first
class are required to be named after
states, those of the second after rivers,
those of the third after the principal
cities and towns, and those of the fourth
as the president may direct. The law is
not always observed as closely as it ought
to be, but in the main it governs naval
nomenclature today. The first act bear
ing on this subject was passed in 1919,
and was subsequently amended by that
of 1858, to bring it in harmony with the
changes wrought by steam navigation

LONDON, Feb. l4.-Amid the cheers of
the opposition in to day Par
nell asked what action the government
proposed to take upon the report of the
commission. Smith, a government leader.
replied the ministers had not had time to
decide upon a course. The debate on the
address was resumed. Parnell moved an
amendment asking the repeal Of the coer-
cion act. He attacked the pettiness of
the prosecutions which the government
daily inflicted upon many persons, and
the c~oercive act under Baliour, as was
almost every act of Balfour, Parnell said,
appeared directly toward driving the peo-
pie of Ireland to crime. The league OF
to-day, Parnell declared. differed widely
from the land league of 1888. and Balfour
could not plead as an excuse that crime
was being revived. On the contrary, the
people are quiescent in expectation to soon
obtain their rights. The action of the
government tedded to its own defeat and
could not succeed in turning the tide Of
the aspirations of Irish people. Webster,
attorney general, charged Parnell with
making accusations against Balfour with
out producing evidence to support his
allegations.
