Blaine TO Lowell.
WASHINGTON, September 1st.-Blaine sent
to Lowell the following at $50 P. NJ. The
President continues to do we'll in bis eating
and digestion. and the swollen gland steadily
improves; but in the past twenty four hours
he has made no substantial progress in his
general condition. In the Judgment of his
physicians, however, he still holds the ground
gained Sunday and Monday His pulse and
temperature to-day have shown marked
increase over the record Of yesterday The
weather has been exceedingly warm and
sultry, and that may account for the adverse
changes noted. Even in the September eli
mate OF Was hington such an oppressive day
as this has been rare"
The Question OF the Presidents Removal.
WASHINGTON, September 1st-Dr. Boyn-
ton, upon being asked today how soon he
thought the President could be removed,
said: can't say exactly it depends upon
the progress he makes during the next few
days. If he continues to improve as rapidly
as he has during the past twenty.six hours it
viii be safe TO remove him before long-say
within weak. | think he can go either by
water or rail without any suffering He is
nor subject to seasickness, and could stand
when he gets better q good deal of the swing
ing motion. He could be moved in a specially
ftted-up car without injury. He is not ue1v-
Gus, and the sudden roar of passing train
would not startle him. The chief danger il
overtaxing his strength. Possibly he will
be frat taken to Long Branch. Or some north
ern seaside resort. He is quite as well as
yesterday. There is no danger from the
well, but is not dischargiug as much as we
would like
Not Entirely Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, September 1st.-To-day has
not been one of improvement in the Presi-
dents condition. He has held his own pretty
evenly, but on the whole the day was less sat
isfactory than yesterday. Not that there is
any new cause of trouble beyond the fever
which was higher than usual, or that there is
any cause of fear Of another relapse. Il is
simply that the one day was little less sat
isfac5ory than the others.
" Constitutional DisablIities"-A KnOtty
Problem.
WASHINGTON, September 1st-Now that
confidence In the Presidents recovery is
being restored, the subject Of Executive
business is again discussed. and in connection
with it is the probability and feasibility of
General Arthur being called upon to act as
President until Garfield sufficiently RECEIVERS
to warrant his resumption of the Executive
duties. The fact cannot well be overlooked
that in every department OF the Government
there are matters in stdtu quo that REQUIRE
the attention of Chfef Executive. How
long they can remain so without positive
detriment to the public interests ia question
which must soon be settled. Although it is
positively known that no meeting of the
Cabinet has been held or called to discuss
this subject, yet it is acknowledged by the
Cabinet officers that informal exchanges of
opinion have been INDUCED in, and il
has been found that grave differences exist
as to the wisdom of such a step, not the least
objection being the possible effect upon Cen
eFal Garfield, in his present weak state, as 1t
must necessarily happen that the matter is
called to his attention. 1t is well known
that, notwithstanding the assurance of his
physicians and friends that the public business
is in no way suffering through his continued
disability, he nevertheless thinks much upon
the subject. No better evidence is needed
than the fact that during his recent relapse
his incoherent utterances were constantly and
entirely in relation to public matters, and it
is feared that his recovery might be seriously
retarded by the knowledge that it was
deemed necessary for another to perform his
constitutional duties. 1t is safe to say that
this step will not be advised by the CabiEet
A. present the Presidents symptoms con-
tinue to remain favorable.
