He Had a Good, LoDglvs With a Smaller Done of Morphia, I.tif, Night lie Now Think II Will Get. Hotter. Nf.w York, April 15, V n. m. General Grant has enjoyed a refreshing deep of eight and a half hours. His puls9 is 71, and of fair volume. Temperature normal. He is ini lined to be cheerful and chatty. He has at preeent no pain in his throat, nor has ho Botlered from any during the night. Colonel Grant at s o'clock last night said be believed his father woild enjoy a quiet, easy night. When the night nurse left the houss between 7 bed 8 o'clock this morning his reoort cf the night proved that Colonel Granj fore cast tad been verified. Dr. Shrady remained in the home during the niht, aud ha and the family slept while Colonel Grant re mained with the night nurse. Senator Chaf fee was tha f rst visitor of the day. He re mained nearly an hour, and when he left he said onlv eix minims of morphins had been U'.ed in tweuiy four hours. The Grneral's cotdition we s better tr-an it had beea fjr tn days, and S?nalor Chafiee had no imme diate apprehension. Dr. Newman Jcalled at 10:15. At 10:00 C. Pomero. Secretary cf the Mexican Legation, came out of the house. He did not 9 ths General but was informed that after a good night's rest, the General was then sitting in his room. He saw Mrs. Grant, who said ths General was quite cbeerfal. Mrs. Jesss Grant stated that the General was ess:er, but he was not gaining strength, jest aboat holding his own She did not see auy great ctange In his condition from that of ths last few days. She hepes the statement would be verified in relation to the General taking an outing, but thought it was rather premature to talk of. The matter of his removal, if he survives till the line weather, wa3 not definitely Fettled. Wfcea Dr. Shrady left Gensrai Grant's boose, after the consultation to-day, he said, in answer to a question, that the gaueral coa dition of the patient was improved. "How do von account for tais geaeral im provement?" was a&ked. "The General's bad attacks have ben ciused by complications associated with the usual progress cf the disease," w&s the an swer. "Ifceee have been overcome lor toe pres ent. and of comse h is bptter. The tempo rary irritation in the throat has ban re lieved, and tbe result is what the bulletins have stated." "And do the bulletins state everything?" ws? asked. "The bulletins d?el with the plain fict?, pnd with the facts only," responded Dr. Shrady. During tho consultation this afisraoon General Grant eaid to his physicians: "The doctors outside, I am informed, ars writing about my case and talking about it, and some of them seem to think they know more about it than jou gentlemen do; but it is like a time cf war. when the men at home think they know more about it than the Generals who arc on the field fighting." That the public may benabled to thor oughly understand the case as it ia and form reliable opinions, the following absolute facts are given as a basis for public and per sonal indgment: General Grant is not greatly emaciated about the body. He has lest (one llesh, but ho much can not be told, he has not been weighed in sorco time. Hi3 face is not much charged, but has a careworn appearance. Tbo g'anda are swollen on the ri?ht side, and tbe swelling outside varies, as there is more or less swelling on the inside. Th glandu lar fcwellsng hai at no time been larger than a hen's egg and from that down to the s;ze of a pigeon's egg. It is located at the angle cf the right jaw. It lias never entirely dis appeared since it came months ago. The swelling is due, tirst to the irritation of the growth, and finally to the progress of tbe difeese in the glands themselves. There is no positive evidence at present that the glands have becorte actively diseased, tbongh tbe presumption Is that they are diseased. The disease does not extend to. nor atfect any of the processes of the General's ear. There i3 some danger of that, a possibility, bat not a probability at present. It is not growing in glowing in that direction. Ths disease is r reading very gradually backward into the back part of the throat, aod behind the pal ate. It has communicated somewhat to the back part of the ncse in front and above the palate. There is no lump on the tongue. It is an nicer way lack on the side of the tongne, a small ulcer. It has never been shown to its whole extent, but it is a saiall nicer, iiregular in hape and from a quarter to half an inch in diameter. The discharge is composed cf muens, broken down tiasue aod some little matter in other words it is muco pus. It exudes from an ul cerated mrface, that includes the pnlate the back part cf the throat and the right side of tfce tongue. There is a chance for the general improvement of the patient by tbe temporary arrest of the dise&se. Th at mosphere of the mountains, or of the West, would, in fair weather, be favorable to him. In all cancerous cases in the throat there are complications irritation about the throat which might b'a called accidents of the dis ease, and it is these cornpilcatlons that have given trouble, rather thau the steady pro gress of the difesse. lathis case these com plications are swelling of the throat, In create of inilsmrju&tisns hemorrhage, and increases of flowed mncns. Six dropj or rainirrsof morphia are given each twenty four hours just enoush to control pain ard indece sleep. Without morphia tbe pain wonld, at times, te unbearable. The General takes for food from one to two tarn blerfuls of a mixture of beef extract and epg sad milk every two to four honrs, night and day. He relished a little ctam broth yesterday, as he relishfi anything. The Geneiai usually reclines in bis chair, attired in knitted underwear; on his feet knitted wool moccasins; a dark bron dresdng gown, trimmed with silk, and belted with a heavy cord: over hi lap 13 spread a silk and satin quilt filled with down, while upon his head be wears a si's cap. which he has long worn to protect his head from attacks of neuralgia. Dr. Dougla3 will remain with the General to night, and a consultation will be held at 2 p. m. to-morrow. 11 p. m. General Grant has been very free from rain during the afternoon and even irg. His condition has not materially changed since last report. He has coughed infrequently and has not been troubled by any accumulation of mucus. His pulse at 10 p, m. was 72: temperature normal. He is now sleeping quietly. J. H. Douglas, M. D. FE02I ACROSS THE SEA. Ireland's Royal Visitors Not So Tri nmpharit in Cork as In Dnhlln.

Lon!on, April 15 Up to this evening there was a feeling of relief in Government circles over tha news torn Cork, which all tended to enow that the visit of the Prince of Wales to that city Lad passed ollquistly, and had worked au unexpected amount ot enthusiasm. Karly in the evening the Gov ernment cfticiali decTared that the attempts of the Nationalists to organize au opposition had resulted ia a failure, and that tbe extent of the Loyalist..' demonstration was eurpri3 irg. TLij de deration was hardiy uttere.l when the telegraph brought accounts of rioting ia various parts of the city, and the reports are becoming more alarming every hoar. A3 tha op?n carriage containing the Trir.ce was crossing Parnell bridge some one in the crowd threw an egg at his Royal Highness. Ths mis3ile mi8ed tbe Prince but hit one oT the footmen behind the carriage and the cro-vd cheered. Duritg the a'ternoon, a detective arrested a rowdy who was throwins stones at theLoyal if ta precession. A mob speedily formed and attempted to rescue the pr;soner. The otli c?r drtw his revolver and tircJ, but without hitting any one, succeeded in taking his prisoner to a police court, we're he was promptly released on bail f urnishfcd by the Mayer of Cork. Karly this evening the Nationalists held a mass meeting whtre inflammatory speeches were made, aad the latest London newspapers containing accounts of the roval progress w re burned inabonfiie. After the mass meeting the Nationalists fcattered throughout the city in parties numbering from fifty to 500 men. Doors and windows were ama-hed, tlags and decorations were torn down and heaped ppjn blsz'cg bonfire?, and many gun stores were broken into for the purpose of arming the mob. Policemen when encountered eihgly cr in small squads were attacked and beaten unmercifully with their own trunch eons. In many cases the police rallied tnd charged desperately upon the mob, but they were invariably surrounded and repulsed The police then re3orted to the fiee use of their revolvers and bayonets. It was hand to band lighting of tha most des perate sort, tha police standing back to back and receiviDgand inflicting terrible injuries. At midnight tfce streets were practically in possession of the mcb. The policemen who rerhdned ULiajured could not attempt ts do more than remain in their positions aod f ght on the defense. The belief at mtdaiqht was that tho streets could not ba cleared without the use of artillery. The Illut bopprcHsed. London, April IG, 1 a. m. The rioting at Cct has been suppressed.

Dnring their progress in the parade wo'kmea and boys ran alongside their CAtriece and kept up tho cheering to drown the h'sfe3 of tbe Nationalists, who lined the entire route and made continued h Jilile demonstrations. The conduct cf the Leegucrs aroneed the Loyalists to a high pttcn cf enthusiasm, nnd they made trie streets echo with shouts of wekoaie. The wW er is that there was no violent breach of the peace during the royal progress. It is thought that the presence of the Princes?, and her ladylike greciousaess to the people along the streets, was tha elemsnt that con quered Irish gallantry.

Lennox Maxwell, the supposed Southern Hotel mur derer, purchased a through, unlimited ticket to San Francisco on Monday morning.April C. He signed his name to the ticket before leaving. He left the came evening on the San Francisco Railroad, and was recognized on the train by two St. Louisians,who talked with him, and who raw him as far as Pierce City, Mo. The inquest cn the bedy of C. Arthur Preller, the victim of the hotel trunk mys tery, which was to have taken place this af ternoon, has been indefinitely postponad by the Coroner. He is waiting tue following of the latest clues, and advices from relatives. Antecedent)! of the Victim. Nkw Yoek, April 15. The night clerk of the Hotel Belvidere thus describes C. Ar thur Preller, the victim of the St. Louie tragedy: "He was a tall man of slight, lithe figure," said the clerk, "most gentlemanly ar.d refined in manner. He had rather a Jewish cast of countenance, a prominent nose, curved lios. dark complexion, and ex tremely black, curlf hair, with a slight but very black muetacbe. and little mutton chop side whiskers. I would eay he was thirty years old. He remained here just three weeks, leaving on March '21. I never eaw any one with him dcflng the entire tfme Le remained with us. He was always 6n the rush, as if he had not a moment to spare, and he never came in or went out without quite a load of packages. He received a large mail every day. lie was richly dressed ana seemed to tare plenty cf money. When he left here, on the moriÜDg cf March 21, his three great big trnnks were eent through to San Francisco, while he carried two large hand tatchels and ieveral 8'nall boxes and bundles. Each of the trunks weighed ;;t least -50 pounds, and was much too heavy to have contained clothing only. He took especial raits to prevent the porter from assisting in the packing and stripping of his trnnaa and only allowed him to come into his rooms alter everything was ready for his departure. Then he came down to the effice and told me to send any mail that might come here for him to the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia. 1 did tend a number of letters there." Bichard W. Owens, an Irishman, and an employe of E. J. Denning, who lives at t'7 Clinton Place, was seen last night at 7 Sev enth avenue, the place of meeting of the congregation of the Plymouth Brethren, of which Mr. Owens is pastor. Hi account of Mr. Preller, filled out by 8u?festious from another member of the conirreizati-m who I Knew him well, was substantially as follows: Arthur I'reiler was tho son of E. Preller, .of London, a dialer in the higher grades of decorative print cloths and the finer qualities of embroid ering silks. His brother and himself were also interested in tbe firm, and he traveled as its representative. He was of a retiring, almcstj elfeminate nature, a pure minded man and an earneet member of our order. He being a member cf the Dalstone Road Assembly in London he was a good deal of an artist and musician, having music in his trunes, which he valued at 5100. This was h!s third or fourth trip around this country, acd he reached thfs city about March 1 with 31 big trunks containing quite a little library arccrjg other things. He was about twenty seten years of age, but very young in ap pearance. He was of a contemplative cast of mied, caring nothing fsr society, and the If .st nan in the world to take up with fast companions. He dressed richly, but quietly, and often carries as much as $500 about his person. He was f medium height and tize, resembling a Creole in his features, and wore a dark mustache. I gave him a letter of introduction to the Kev. Dr. James Brooks, pastor cf the Wal nut Street Presbyterian Church, in St. Louis. I know of no other persoo in that city with whom he would come in contact. He bad no enemies, and the only trait which would bring him in contact with rou?h characteis was a desire to explore the slums of a great city. When here I took hnu through the lower ward;, and he was much interested in the missionary work being done there. 'Of Walter Lennox Maxwell I know bnt little. He is a wealthy EngiUh nobleman, a Baronet, and, I think, a relative of Hon. Somerset Maxwell, the present Lord Farn ham. who is an active member of cur order.
