Grant's house in East Sixty-sixth street from midnight on Thursday until after daylight yesterday. The house had not been so quiet for three nights. The outer door was kept shut, and Ulysses 8. Grant, Jr., who had been away, returned at 4:20 a. m. He had to wait several minutes on the stoop for admission.' Gen. Grant had fallen asleep at 10:80 o'clock, and slept better than usual. After it bad been decided that there was no other course stimulcnts had been used freely. The strength they gave enabled him to sleep, mil it was now a battle with the disease, in which the sole object was to snatch as many "hours from death as possible. The weather was against him. Rain had been predicted, and at 4 o'clock a heavy fog settled over the city. 4*I think he is," was the reply. A bulletin issued at 6:80 P. M. said that Gen. Grant's condition was unchanged, that he just taken nourishment, and that he was dozing in his chair. There was no crowd in front of the house at night. Two policemen patrolled the street and ordered everybody to move on. New York, April 4.—There was more of activity in the New York navy yard, at Brooklyn, yesterday, than for some yean: past, and in a very mild way the preparations were decidedly warlike. The principal theater of activity in the early morning was the marine barracks on Flushing avenue, where at 9 o'clock there were mustered on the parade ground a force of 202 marines in heavy marching order, with white helmets and overcoats and knapsacks strapped to their hocks. They were armed with breechloading rifles and divided into four companies, under the following officers: CoL Charles Heywood, in command; Lieut. H. G. Ellsworth, adjutant. Company A— Capt. E. P. Meeker, First Lieut. Berryman, Second Lieut Fillette. Company B—Capt. L. E. Fagan, Firt Lieut. J. Nicholson. Company C—Capt H. C. Cochrane. Company D—First Lieut A C. Kelton, Second Lieut J. E.

Lord Dufferin's opinion of the reply and of the situation generally is awaited with soma solicitude. There is an uneasy feeling in mijitary circles that England may have lighted too big a torch in India. The armies of the Indian princes have been filled with ardor and may take to fighting- each other.

The clerk of the senate brought to the house an engrossed copy of the senate's resolution of sympathy with Gen. Grant. Tho depositors of tho Exchange bank met to consider the stops necessary to protect their interests. A committee was appointed to take charge of tho matter and to report, after an investigation of the affairs of the bank shall have been made, whother it will bo better that a receiver shall lie appointed or that the secretary of the treasury shall be petitioned to allow the bank to go into voluntary liquidation. The United States government had on deposit in the Exchange bank botween $480,000 and $500,000. These funds are internal revenue collections made in the second district of Virginia, of which Capt Asa Rogers, of this city, is cojjector. Since the last day of March there has been forwarded by oxpress from the collector's office hero for deposit in the bank about $7,000, which was returned by the express company to Collector Rogers, it not having boon dolivercd at the bank. Collector Rogers, of Petersburg received a telegram from tho secretary of tho troasury, instructing him to deposit tho government funds collected in this district in Richmond hereafter. The fund3, will be deposited in tho First National bank of that city. Gen. Grant toward night appeared strongei and walked across the room. He seemed, bright, and his manner was cheerful. Dr. Slirody, who was with him, said that his breathing was better than It had been. At ft o'clock the following bulletin was sent out: Gen. Grant's pulse is 80 per minute and somewhat stronger. He walks across the room and declines assistance. His mind is clear and his manner cheerful. He has taken more nourishment. There is soreness of the throat, but no difficulty in swallowing. He has just used a gargle with benefit. The secretion of mucus is comparatively slight. The breathing is easy and natural. Mr. Chaffee, who came from the house at 10:30 o'clook, said: '.'The very way the general resists disease is marvelous. I never saw or heard of anything like & To-night he walked from one room to another and attached his signature to four photographs. The lines of the signature were as firm and strong as when he was in full health. After this the doctor gave him an injection of morphine, and he is now sleeping peacefully—so peacefully that I am going home, as there does not seem to be any danger of his immediate death." London, April 4.—The Morning Post as- sert n that thore is strong reason to believe that the half-breed rebellion in the northwest territory was fomented by agents of Russia. According to The Post's theory, Russia is lending temporary encouragement to Kiel's ambitious schemes in order to keep ell the Canadian troops at home in case of England's getting into a war over the Afghan frontier question.

London, April 4.—Of all the men-of-war ordered into commission in view of possible complications with Russia, only one is ready. The main difficulty is in finding corn potent crews. The naval barracks are depleted and sailors out of a job prefer the merchant service. It is thought that the government will be compelled to utilize 2,000 coastguardsmen. They are all sailors, and mostly belong to the naval reserve. Many of them have been on ornamental duty for years, but they know how to haul and stear, and could, upon occasion, work a gun. '•Gen. Grant has slept seven hours without a break," he said. "At 5 o'clock he woke up and asked for something to drink. His throat was dressed, and nourishment was given to htm His voice this morning is stronger than it been at any time since the attack. We are encouraged and hopeful." After a careful inspection, all equipments being found complete, at 10 o'clock the order was given to march, and to the inspiring strains of • "The Girl I Left Behind Me" the force passed from the barracks. The marines are a fine body of men, their soldierly bearing and the precision with which they marched giving evidence of long and careful drill. The force was halted on the square, waiting to be joined by a contingent of 85 men, expected from Boston by the Fall River boat. She, however, had been detained by the fog during the previous night, and finally at 11.80 the column was once more in motion and marched down to the dock, where the navy yard tug awaited them. On her they all embarked, crowding her in every part, and exactly at noon she steamed from the dock. CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

At 6:80 o'clock the following bulletin was given out, signed by Dr. Douglas and Bhrady: Gen. Grant has had a prolonged sleep. He has taken food at intervals during the night; the rest of tho time has been devoted to refreshing sleep. His pulse is steady and full, and .he has no pain. Wheat— Opening. Highest  Lowest.

Washington, April 4.—A prominent business man, named •Richards, who spent three years in Battieford, states that the fcjtoney and Cree Indians,of Eagle Hills, number 1,500, and that the only fear of bloodshed arisea from the fact they aro excited by starvation. Tl'iU fact, rather than any sympathy with the aims of the half-breeds, causes their present uprising. As to what led to the disappearance of the Indians after the outbreak and to the destruction of property, Richards inclines to the belief that they have merely withdrawn temporarily to effect a junction with the Fort Pitt Indians, and will then return to storm the barracks. A boy carried the bulletin to the homes of Drs. Barker and Sands. At 7 o'clock the fog was still so dense that the cornices of Gen. Grant's house were hardly visible from the street. Tho sidewalks were wet, and the air was damp and chilly. The sun came out bright and strong, and dispelled the mist. The window of Gen. Grant's bedroom was thrown open. On Thursday, at this hour, this would have been taken as a sign of the general's death, but yesterday it was only intended to freshen up the room. It showed that the family wore feeling more at ease, and that the general was in the library. BER14X, April 4.—The emperor wrote to Princo Bismarck on the letter's birthday: "You, dear prince, know that I have always the fullest confidence in you. These lines will survive the grave. Your grateful auC h-uly devoted emperor, Wllhelm." Prince Bismarck received 2,822 telegrams of congratulation on his birthday. Oats—Opening Highest  Lowest........ Closing  Pork—Opening.

Officers and men appeared delighted at the prospect of exchanging the monotony of barrack life for a bit of active service, and went off in the best of spirits. The tug immediately proceeded alongside the City of Para, which was awaiting her arrival in Gravesend bay, and as soon as the force had been transferred to her decks her anchor was weighed and she went to sea, passing the Hook at 4:30 o'clock. At 8 o'clock p. M. the 85 men expected from Boston arrived at the navy yard under the command of Capt. George C. Reed and were quartered in tho barracks, where they will remain until Monday, when they will be embarked in the steamer Acapulco, which will also take down a draft of 250 seamen from the receiving ship at the Brooklyn yard. These seamen were told off into four companies, to which officers will be assigned, and were drilled for several houi s on the Cobb dock alongside of the ship. They were then brought over by companies to the yard and marched up to the ordnance store house, where each man was furnished with a breech-loading rifle of the latest improved pattern. The blue jackets seemed to find tbe rather cumbrous cartridge belt an awkward contrivance and not at all as handy as their ordinary leather belt, and a marine who stood watching them rather scornfully said: "Well, they're only sailors, anyhow; they aint much good except aboard ship. However," he added consolingly, "I suppose anybody can fire off a rifle." COURT OF ALABAMA CLAIMS. In addition to signing the photographs in his library Gen. Grant signed a business document, probably an agreement with his pub lisher. After the arrival of Dr. Douglas at 11 o'clock another bulletin was sent out. It said: Lied—Opening.

Washington, April 4.—The following statement of the business before the court of commissioners of Alabama claims will be of interest: Up to and including March 81 last, judgments had been rendered in 1,431 cases of the first class for actual damage dono by the confederate cruisers to the aggregate amount of 48,266,514, including interest. All these judgments, except some 10 or 12 of the most recent, hove been certified tc by the secretary of state for immediate payment. During the tamo period 1,761 cases oi second-class claims tor war premiums paid have been adjudicated, and judgments rendered for an aggregate sum of $5,203,114 (exclusive of interest). No portion of thesx claims is to be paid under the law until ali the judgments of the first class are satisfied. PETROLEUM. On. City, April 4.—Opening. Highest  Lowest  Cljfirig . Gen. Grant was able at 10 o'clock to walk unaided into his library and sign an important document. The anodyne has been administered and he is now asleep in his chair. His general condition remains the same as stated in the last bulletin. U. S. Grant, a nephew of the general, came out at 9:25. He said: Buffalo, April 4.—A Canadian halfbreed, supposed to be an emissary of Riel, and who states that he just came from the northwest, has arrived here. In answer to questions he stated that he left Riel about ten clays ago, and that the rebellion was a serious one. "There will be music up there," said he. "Our people aro aroused and mean fight if we don't got the same right, the Scotch settlers get. This rebellion will be a serious one." All efforts to draw from the stranger the object of his visit to Buffalo were without avail and his name was not learned. It is strongly surmised from hints thrown out in other directions that he is an emissary of Riel sent here to get assistance from the Irish revolutionary brotherhood or others for the rebel cause in the northwest. Choke Damp "I was at the house all night, and wds in the general's room several times. He had an excellent night—the best he ha3 had in a week. When I left him just now he was very comfortable. It is astonishing how he keep* up. He has had no coughing or choking spell since Tuesday. His low condition yesterday was due to weakness, and for some time his life hung in the balance. The aotton of the heart was very Dlow, but the doctors said there was no organic weakness. Just at the critical period, when five minutes would have determined it one way or the other, Dr. Shrady gave him a hypodermic injection of brandy, and that saved his life.

He takes no solid food, but often eats liquid food, especially when ho awakes in the morning. At 0 o'clock this morning he relished a cup of coffee very much. He awoke at 4 o'clock, and dozed after that at intervals. He sleeps in a large armchair with his feet on a stool. Ho prefers that, as he cannot broatho when lying down in bed.

"What is the chanpe of Gen. Grant's dying to-night;" was asked. ■Washington, April 4.—Gen. Atkins, commissioner of Indian affairs, said to a representative of the press that he thought there would be no trouble in inducing the white men on the Winnebdgo reservation (Dakota) to leave when they were informed that thoy were there in violation of law. This mild view of the matter is not shared by other interior department officials. . They say that as these men have entered the reservation under what thoy considered proper authority, and made various improvements, it will be difficult to make them understand the new construction upon the troaty of 1888, and it may require force to make the settlers surrender.Ottawa, April 4.—Lord Melgund, who has been appointed second in command to Gen. Middleton, telegraphs the governor general from Qu'Appelle, where troops are concentrating, that an advance will not be made insido of four days. The wires from the northwest are interrupted owing to the severe blizzard that has been prevailing for the past two days, and there is great anxiety to hear from the settlers in the beleaguered forts. Tho action of the United States authorities in connection guarding the frontier gives intense satisfaction. "He is sleeping now," Dr. Shrady said, "and does not appear to suffer any inconvenience. We are prepared, howevor, for al emergencies. Dr. Douglas deems it better tx. have both of us sleep at the house." Many of the war premium cases involve very oomplicated questions of proof. It if found practicable to dispoie of the business now pending at the rate of about 300 cases a month, but it will be necessary for the court to stop hearing cases at least a month before the time fixed by law for winding up its af lairs (Doc. 31 next) in to comply tritt the terms of the law in regard to making a final report to the secretary of state. Tlx court has ordered a peremptory call of ali cases which may remain untried on" the 20ti of May next, with a view to dismissal of any cases not reported ready for trial. Dr. Shrady and Dr. Douglas remain within calling distance of Gen. Grant. They snatch a nap now and then. They manage to get an hour or two of sleep daily at home. 6 POWDER This bulletin was sent out 12:80 A. M. today:Gen. Grant is sleeping quietly in his easy chair.

While it has been suggested that the interment, shall be in the park south of the White House and under the shadow of the Washington monument, a proposition has also been made to bury him at the Soldiers' home. It is true that no military officer of high rank is interred there, but it would seem particularly appropriate that Gen.
