NEW YORK, April 9.-The Grant
household was quiet and undistusbed
ell last night. Between / o'clock and
midnight General Grant fell asleep, and
except by coughing occasionally, his
sleep, was continuous until 7 O'Clock
this morning. At that hour he aroused
himself for the day and took nourish-
meat plenteously and we'll. After the
morning treatment Of his throat the
patient walked about his room. His
mind was clear at waking and after
ward. During the night DR.. Shrady
and the family enjoyed long sleep.
The Generals condition was so ia
vsrable to-day that the physicians
deemed immediate medical attendance
not necessary through the entire day.

was programmed for the day IS fellows !:

Sands at 4P. NJ. Consultation to take
place at 4:30 p. NJ, after which the
second bulletin Of the day should be
issued.
At 1915 O'Clock Senator Chaffee left
the house. He said an anodyne was
administered to General Grant at Q
O'Clock, and he was sleeping when he
left. 1t was stated by Mr.. Chaffee that
the recurrence Of the hemorrhage was
rendered so improbable that tho family
and physicians were at ease on that
score, as evidenced by the absence Of
all the doctors from the house. The
assurance Of the doctors is shared by
the family.
Shortly after II o'clock Mrs. Fred.
Grant and Mrs. Sartoris entered the
family carriage and drove out to the
park. Then the little daughter Of Jesse
Grant, with the nurse. left the house
for an airing, followed by Jesse Grant
and his wife. About noon George ii.

dent Of the Christian Commission,
called with DR.. Newman. They spent
some time in the house, and saw the
General. John Little, commander Of

The Queens message was received
last night, and the reply was sent to-
day.
Senior Romero called during the after
noon. On leaving he said the Generals
improved condition was shown in his
face and pulse when awake. He takes
food with more relish and talks moro
chesrfrllly with the family. 1t was true
be was kept under the influence Of NOR
phia ell the time, for when he was not
under the influence Of anodynes the
pain was unbearable. In reality the
General was no better, for the cancer
was making progress. In the opinion
of Senior Romero, General Grant has,
however, more time to live than the
doctors grant him.
A soldier in uniform from Fort Ham
ltoa called. in behalf of his comrades,
TO tender respects and sympathy. He
was informed Of the Generals condi-
ton.
Baron Won Alvsnsleben, the German
Minister, and Baron de Schaefer, the
Austrian Minister, called during the
afternoon. The latter was told by

temporarily.
