NEW YORK, April 3.-General Grants
| condition during the early hours of to-day
| was reported by his physicians and members
of the family as being more favorable than
for the past three days.. The favorable change
| is accounted for by the extra amount of sleep
that he has taken during the last twenty
four hours, but as the sleep artificial in
dueed by the use of anodyne, his family and
physicians decided that the result of re-
lapse, in the patients feeble condition, would
almost surely have a fatal termination Ev-
erything went along hopefully until about
noon, when the general began to show signs
of restiveness and complained of pains in his
throat and head. The usual remedies were
resorted to and the patient for time be-
came more comfortable and expressed him
self as feeling much better. The callers dur
ing the day were more numerous than ever
| and the sidewalks adjacent to the sick mans
| residence were from an early hour blocked
| by crowds anxious to learn the latest news of
| the generals condition. Among the many
| callers during the day were John Jacob
Aston, Cyrus W. Field, Mrs Leland
| Stanford, who carried beautiful
| bouquet into the house, Senior Romero and
| ex-senator Chaffee, D. w. Judd, General
Parker, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Generals G. H.
| T Collins and Webb, Rev. H. J.Fo1 of Massa-
chusetts, and A. B. Darling Of the Fifth Az
enue Hotel. Drs. Shrady, Douglass and Bar
| ker remained with the general the whole
afternoon and at 4:30 the general was report
