SECRECY AS TO ITS NAME. (Received February 27, 0.30 a.m.) MELBOURNE, February 26. There is keen interest and many suggestions are made regarding the name of the Federal capital. Ministers are maintaining the strictest secrecy. Myola, the name supposed to have Ministerial support, and which it is pointed out is easily translatable into she name of a prominent politician, is not popular. ‘ Mr O’Malley, Minister for Home Affairs, referring to a request that Australian champagne be used for the christening, said that Lady Denman, who would be naming the capital, would not use imported nor Australian champagne, but water.
