We refer to Capt. Mei magazine gun, the more so as it is a wonderful nd beautiful instrument of death, and as yet pot mapufactared. The inventor has been ip Vienna several months explaining the merits of his gun to the Austrians. He says, however, that he never showed it to any officer who un- derstood a gun better than Prince Bismarck. ‘The Meigs magazine gun has a capacity of firing its reserve of 50 cartridges a minate, and when this feat was proved to the Prince he -took the arm in bis hands, pointed it, felt its weight, and asked the price at which it could be manufactured per thousand, and told the in- ventor that whenever he came to Berlin he would receive him and introduce him to the authorities of the war department. Thts Cap- tain Meigs was accidentally rewarded for over a decade of planing and scbeming how to ake an arm which, from the very fearfulness of its results, will, he trusts, make war so terri- ble that nations will hesitate to fight at all. ‘Tse PaiiapetPata CoaL TLApE.—The an- thracite coal trade for the past week has been without special feature. There is a fair supply of orders for coal and prices are unchanged. Indeed some operators are short of coal to meet their orders, and have to buy in the open mar- ket. Of the increased prodaction of coal of all kinds for the vear (1.092.996 tons,) 627,122 tons are of anthracite and 420,874 tons are of bitumin- The supply of coal at the principal cen- ters is not large, thus indicating a fair demand all through the winter. A pretty general stop- page of mining operations is expected about the end of the current month, already spera- ‘ors are reluctant to take’ new order for la amounts. Lower prices for anthracite, not- withstanding the financial pan’e, are not prob- able. In the bituminous coal region some of the coal companies have notified their boatmen not to return for another load, as shipments are to close in about two weeks.

Grant's Views. . — » OF the Associated Press, ited an Interview with the President , and states the result as follows : were but few visitors at the Executive Mansion to day, nearly all of whom were ad- mitted to audience with the President. tary Fish, who bronght his portfolio of doc: ments on the Cuban question, was closeted with nim for an hour, and explained the present state of the correspondence with the Spanish govern- ment, which, the President subsequently said to the writer of this article, it would now be improper to make public, because only there were diplomatic usages and courtesies which it was necessary to observe during the contro- versy, but in due time the result would be announced, This government had thus far acted on such facts as had r-ached it, and it was now engaged in collecting from all available sources farther information concerning the capture of the Virginius and the particulars attenaing the revolting executions which followed that event. It was desirable that at! information should be of such a character as would leave no doubt whatever as to its reliability. The propriety ef this course was too evident to require explana- tion, the government being careful in what it is now doing and what it may hereafter do to act upon facts, and not upon assumptions and anconfirmed reports. It was essential that we should be prepared to maintain our position. The President said he had changed none of the views fore expressed by him concern- ing events iu Cuba, and had more than ever been confirmed in them by recent occurrences. He shared with tie public in their denuncia- tion of the ‘on the bigh seas of a vessel with a regular clearance under the United States fag: and the startling events which 80 quickly followed. Spain never having considered the island of Cuba in a state of war, und there being no proclamation by the Vaited staics according be at rights to the insur- nts, the Virginius, if regularly clear sland of Cuba, bad the right t@ enter Mevana or any other épeh port or the Spanisu sions. This government did not recognize any -_ on the part of Spain in the present stats of affairs to interfere in any manner with our mer chant ships upon the seas, except in the usual right in her own ports, and within one marine by red of the coast of any of her dominions, anu of this fact sheis aware. Asa matter of course, \tis the determination of this government to protect our citizens in all their rights and to compel respect to the flag. The present naval prep rations were with this view,and not to ‘nitlate war by the President, that power — a in heer ra ut to be prepared for porsible conti ni Congress two two wrecks from to dt '* ae reas in possession ecutive department relative ‘o Cuban affairs would be laid before that body, with such recommendations as the occasion might de mand. Plain Talk te Spai In regard to the tailure to execute the decrees in tor the release of American estates im Cuba, Secretary Fish informed Admiral Polo, the Spanish minister here, that Spain must # assurances that these decrees are beyed by Thursday, Zith. Polo asked if the it for an answer intil the Saturday following. The Secretar, said no; the ‘or ere ry erent message finished by ving day, ready to submit to the cabinet may which is the for the last regular meeting before Con; assembles. Polo was farther informed that the President was anxious to be able to say to Con- gress that Spain had really acted in the matter, instead ot merely prom! she did not act he should recommend that the ing, and that in case United States hereatter assume entire respon- the lives and property of zens in Cuba. ar Ni y avy the same activity fested as for the past two days.
