NEW YORK. April 9.-The Grant house
hold was quiet and undlsturbed all last
niaht. Between II o clock and midnight
Gen. Grant fell asleep, and except when
coughing occasionally his sleep was con-
tinuous until O'Clock this morning. At
that hour he aroused himself for the day
and took nouFishment plenteously and
well. 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 a long sleep. The
Generals condition was so favorable to-
day that the physicians deemed imme-
diate medical attendance not necessary
through the entire day. The first bulletin
was issued at $3.50 O'clock this morning.
| Minister Romero called at O'Clock this
morning and Senator Chatiee at lOo'clock.
| At S:30 o'clock this morning Gen. Grants
pulse was Ga, and reasonably full. HIS
! temperature was normal.

AT 1915 O'Clock this morning Senator
| ChafTee left the house. He said that an
! anOdyne WAS administered TO Gen. Grant
at 8 O'Clock, and he was sleeping when
! Mr.. Chaflee left. 1t was stated by Mr..
! Chaffee that recurrence OF the hemor-
rhage was rendered so improbable
! that the 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 efamily car
riage and drove out to the park. Then a

nurse left the house for an air.

Senior Romero called during the after
noon. On leaving he said that the Gene
| raPs improved condition was shown in
/ his face and pulse. When awake he takes
his food with more relish. and talked more
/ cheerfully with his family. 1t was true
| that he was kept under the influence Of
morphia all the time, for when he was not
under the influence Of an0dynes the pain
/ was unbearable. In reality the General
was no better, for the cancer was making
I progress. In the opinion of Senior Romero
Gen. Grant has, however, more time to
| live than the doctors grant him.
A soldier in uniform, from Fort Hamil-
ton, called in behalf Of bis comrades to
| tender respect and sympathy. He was
! informed of the Generals condition.
/ Baron Won Alvenslehen, the German
man Minister, and Baron de Scha1eT, the
| Austrian Minister, called during the af-
! ternOOu. IQe laLbei was bOiu Dy COl,
! Grant that Gen. Grant was somewhat
! stronger, but that he was in a critical con-
| dition. He was improved temporarily.
! A consultation of doctors was held at
1880 O'Clock this afternoon. DR.. Barker
! said that Gen. Grant was better. He
breathed easier The upper part Of his
! throat was better, and indeed he was so
well that DIR. Barker would not attend
again until Saturdays cOnsulta ton. This
was the 20ih anniversary Of Gen. Lees
surrender at Appomattox, and a number
Of floral reminders with messages Of SYM
psthy were sent by Grand army organi-
cations.
Gen. GRAFT has been very quiet all the
evening. At II O'clock his pulse was "a,
