Oklahoma has been sug- gested as @ good Indian name and a fight ing name, in view of the fact that the sis- ter ship to Monitor No. B. now building on the Pacific coast, will be known as the Wyoming.
 Arizona has also made a bid for the Monitor No. g, and this claim probably will be brought to the attention of Secretary Long when he returns to Washington.
 In this connection there has been some discussion over the names of the new cruisers which have been christened West Virginia and South Dakota. One of the objections is that these names are con- fusing and objectionable from a practica- ble naval standpoint. There will be a battleship Virginia to get mixed up in re- ports and signals with the cruiser West Virginia, while the presence of a North Dakota and a South Dakota in the naval register Is said to be open to the same ob- jection. No steps have been taken to find substitutes for these names, but some thing in this line probably will be done before the vessels in question are chris tened.
