NEW YORK, April S.-Gen. Grant passed a
very quiet night. There was no return of

walls and the only persons who paced the
street were the watchful policemen and the
reporters. About 4:30 fo'clock Senator
Chaffee and U. S. Grant, sr., emerged from
the house and gave an encouraging report.
Gen. Badeau strolled slowly down Madison
avenue about this mornfng, and in re-
sponse to question saidI Gen. Grant had
passed a very easy night and is now resting
quietly.
THE FAMILY HAVE A REST.
II a. m.-Gen. Grant sleeps, or appears to
sleep, at any and all times that suit his in
clination, but last night his long rest began
about midnight and until 5 o'clock it con-
tnued with little interruption. The profess
sional nurse attended the patient through
the night while the family and physicians
gained little rest. The night was a quiet
one with no alarming symptoms or circum-
stances. About 5 O'Clock when the general
aroused himself he stood upon his feet
briefly but did not essay to move about.

house. He was met by Col. Fred Grant.

very quiet and comfortable night, that he
suffered very little pain, that he had slept
comparatively well, that the dependency of
yesterday had entirely left him and he
seemed to have returned to about the same
condition that existed two or three days ago.
