AT NEWPORT NEWS.
VISITS THAT ARE REGARDED AS
VERY SIGNIFICANT.
Several Conferences at the Ship
Yards-Huntington and Ingalls,
Closeted-Big Capital to BE In
yestcd-PersonnIs and briefs.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, March 9.-(Spe-
iai)-The presence in this city of several
prominent railroad magnates and Million
aires has attached to IL more or less sig
niflcance. Mr.. Coils =. Huntington. the
father Of Newport News, and the founder
Of the ship-building industry here, was in
the city the past two days. He was ac-
companied here by two wealthy New York
friends, and Joined here by President Or
cult. OF the Newport News Ship-Building
and Dry-Dock Company. The greater
part of the time was spent at the ship
yard, where several conferences were
held, but just what passed is not known.
In an interview Mr.. Huntington said that
another dry-dock would be built some time
in the future, and that 1t would be one OF
the largest In the world. Questioned re-
garding the steamer for the Pacific Mail
Route, he said: I'VE will certainly build
one large ship for that route, and maybe
two, but / cannot say just when the work
will begin as we are crowded with work
now. The passenger steamer We propose
TO build will be OF 1000 tons displacement,
and cost about one million and hair dol
lars. 1t will be the fastest snip afioat, 1
think. He expressed himself as being sat
isfied with the progress that is making
at the ship-yard on the battleshps Mr..
Huntington left last night for Washing
ton. ID. c., where he will remain several
DAYS. and then go to San Francisco TO
look after his interests there.

or more, but what passed between them
has not been made public, though IL Is
thought the advisability OF erecting an
other large grain elevator and additional
piers at this port was the subject OF part
Of the conversation.
1t was learned to-day from reliable au-
thority that considerable foreign capital
would be invested here, but the nature OF
the proposed enterprise was not disclosed,
except that IT would be operated in con-
nection with the shlp-yard.
While I'm the city Mr.. Huntington enter

mepts Of the ship-yard at an informal

THE COAL WARFARE.
Cooperative Associations OF miners
Are Leasing Productive Mines.
CNew York Times)

NEW 1Oik LliltNJ
In consequence Of the warfare between
some of the owners of coal mines in
Pennsylvania and the miners, number
of cooperative mining associations nave
been formed. Thousands of dissatisfied
miners have formed effective orsaniza-
tons and in some sections they have
mines, and have made favorable trafnc
contracts with railroads.
A cooperative association recently
leased the old Ward property, near Eliza
beth. on the Monongahela river, and ar
rangements are being made 10 work II
on a moderate scale. The capital stock
of the association has been fixed at 5000
that is. eighty shares at so each. Ne
ROTATIONS are pending for a contract,
which will necessitate production OF
$1,000 bushels every tWenty-tour hours
for several months.
Efforts are being made In certain quar-
ters to settle the trouble between the
mine-owners and the miners. The suf-
fering among the miners is spreading. a
circular letter was sent by miners in the
Pittsburg District last week 10 all the
coal-producers, asking whether they are
willing TO go into a conference TO decide
upon rate of wages ignoring all other
questions.
While the anthracite coal-trade is dull.
the general conditions are considered
very satisfactory. Extraordinary precau-
tions have been taken TO keep the guam
tjty of anthracite coal mined during the
present month down TO the allotted
$500, 600 tons The only available statis-
tics show that the production for the first
two months OF the year was within
g. 900 tons.
