THE RUMOR REVIVED.
Of a Deal Between Huntington and
the Armstrong;.

Newport News, Va, Dec. II 1t is ru-
mored here that the deal between 9. p.
Huntington. tue founder of Newport
News, and the Armstrong;, the great guu
manufacturers, of England, for the pur-
chase of the shipyurd plant here by the
latter will be copsummated in short
time. This report is en- phasized by the
statement that deal is about to be
closed betw Mr.. Huntington and the
Old Dominion Ian" Company for the
purchase by the former of u large tract
of land directly to the north of and adj
joining the present site of the shipyard.
The shipyard now covers half mile of
water front, and the land transaction
with the Old Dominion Company. will
oive the millionaire control of another
half mile of valuable water front prop
erty.
1t is very clear to the minds of the
knowing ones that Mr. Huntington has
no idea of increasing the plant of the
Newport News Ship-Build'ng and Dry
Dock Company. 1t looks. then, like the
founder of Newport News is buying the
additional water front property for the
Armstrong;. who will not only operate
tile most complete shipyar9 in America,
and perhaps in the world, but also large
plants fol the manufacture of ordnance
and armor. plate.
1t has been understood for long time
that the Arhstrongs were DESTROYS of
locating in the United States, and dupli-
cnting their great plants. which are saiu
to be doing the largest business of the
kind in the world. There is no doubt
that the coming of the widely known
English capitalists 10 Newport News
would be the making of the city.
With ship-yard, an ordnance plant,
and a factory for the manufacture of ar
MOI plate, Sir William Armstrong would
employ about 10000 men, which means
that ut least 9tO0 more would be brought
to Newport News. Many Of the contracts
which the Armstrong firm secures from
ali over the world would be filled right
here, and ship buildng especially, would
always be alive.
