 WASHINGTON, Sept. IA careful summing up of to-day's history in the Presidents case will leave it apparent that the distinguished patient has only just about held his own The physicians say he has done as well as yesterday, and no complications have arisen to throw doubt on the statement. The un- fortunate reference in the bulletin to the ac- compartment of levers and rigors early in the case seems to have caused general opiu- ion that there have either been rigors lately or that rigors have been feared A local surgeon outside the case said to-day that the fear of rigors could only be occasioned by the discovery of a pus cavity somewhere. The continued low temperature shows con- clusively that no such cavity exists. The surgeons say there is no trouble and until some trouble appears it would seem absurd for the public to borrow any. The high pulse has been the only unfavorable symp- tom of the day, and that gives the physicians no apparent anxiety. Dr. Boynton says to- day that all is going we'll. Drs Woodward and Bliss say the same thing. This after noon Dr. Reyburn was asked if the President was as we'll to-day as he was yesterday. "He is, was the reply; "he is doing very well. There has been nothing to set him back. !" ''There is report, doctor, that another ab- scess has formed.'' ''There is no truth in the report" ''Is the stomach all right?" 'sYes; he has taken food of more solid character, and'retains all that is given" THE QUESTION OF sUMMoNING GENERAL ARTHUR.
 On the authority of pro ominent Cabinet officer 1t is stated that the subject of asking the Vice President to temporarily relieve the President of executive duties has not been seriously considered, and it is not cont em- plated at present. Suggestions have been made that the President could ask the Vice President to act for him and he could do so, or Congress might pass an act of disability and have that act submitted to the Supreme Court for decision as to its constitutionality, but these suggestions have not been acted on. One reason of this is that the Presidents recovery might be seriously retarded by the knowledge that it was deemed necessary for him to perform his constitutional duties, with the added possibility of a general policy in administration at variance with his views and wishes. It is safe to say that this step will not be advised by the Cabinet at present.
 THE TROUBLE CAUSED BY THE BULLET.
 The slow progress of the wound seems to be the only feature that does not satisfy the doctors. They think that it will move more rapidly as all the other conditions improve. The gland is apparently doing as well as could be wished. A prominent local physi- clan said to day that he would never have any confidence in the Presidents recoy cry until the ball was removed. The pubic seem to have forgotten that it has been the cause of all the trouble so far, and while it is in it's present condition is just as likely as not to cause new trouble The ball has not be- come encysted, so the attending physicians admit, and the physicians said the Presidents exhausted constitution is incapable of the healthful process necessary to promote its encysting. The physicians in the case insist that the ball is causing no local trouble though they admit that it will be cut out in time.
 THE DOCTORS SATISFIED WITH THE SYMPTOMS
 The physicians at o'clock this afternoon said the President had passed as favorable a day as yesterday, although perhaps the per ceptible progress made in the case has been no more marked. The morning bulletin was satisfactory in every respect excepting as re- gards the pulse Its frequency caused no anxiety to the physicians, who deemed that of no especial significance in view of the very favorable nature of the other symptoms. It Eshows, however, the weak condition of the President and how easily his pulse can be made to huctuate. Dr. Bliss was asked this afternoon why mention of rigor was made in the morning bulletin. He said it was done to forefend the allegation that the late fever of last night had been accompanied by chills, since at the time of the only rigors in the fever had occurred about the same time. He also said that the President had had nothing like chiils since the third week of the case.
