There is much discussion already as to
whom the probable successor of Secretary
Window will be, but the only names heard
mentioned In connection with the office
are those of Senator Allison of Iowa and
ex. Senator Spooner Of Wisconsin. Both of
these men were prominently spoken OF as

Special to THE MORNING CALI.

New YORK. Sept. 12-The Tribune's
cablegram from London says: The Con-
tinent has through the week resounded
with the clang of arms. Austria has had
her military maneuyers; Holland has re-
minded the world, not unnecessarily, that
there is such a thing in existence as a Dutch
army, and Belgium has massed some troops
of cavalry in the field. England, not to be
outd0ne, has mobiized as many as 1900
men near Aldershot. All this is a farce;
but there is something grimly serious in the
maneuvering of the French army. This
has been called out on colossal scale;
sort of rehearsal of what might take place
any day-next month or next year-should
the trumpet-call sound the inevitable war
with Germany. Twenty-one years and a
few months ago there was a similar muster,
General LIE Boeuf having assured the doubt
ing Emperor that there was not lacking

to Berlin. But all whom it may concern
know that the French army to-day is very
different from that which, in 1870, marched
ous to Berlin and got no farther than Sedan.
1t appears after all that there was some
thing more than froth in tue cup that
France has drunk to Russia. The Car

The Internal Revenue Bureau to-day re-
ceived q report which gives an account OF
the first actual work done under the sugar
bounty clause of the Mckinley bill. That
bill gives a bounty of from q to cents per
pound on sugar produced in this country,
the difference in the bounty being regulated
by the grade of the sugar. The report Is
from the inspector at Fort Scott, Kans. ii
says that 5000 pounds of sugar have been
tested by him and were found to be up to
the grade, emitting the producer to the 2
cent bounty. The next field that will en-
gage the attention of the revenue officers,
and which will be entered upon before the
sorghum sugar crop is handled, will be the
beet region. The principal sugar-beet crop
will be in Nebraska. Utah and California.

plorer, has decided to undertake a perilOus
trip next year. As Eckroll has invented a
new kind of sled-boat, his plan has excited
considerable interest in the geographical

structed that they can be turned into boat
when n necessary. The boat Is TO be used in
the open waters of the Polar Sea, while the
sleds are for travel over the ice. The sleds
will be drawn by dogs trained for the pur
pose. The expedition is to consist OF as
few people as pessible-at most six--and
the greatest possible number of dogs. As
Eckroll will be able to use either the boat
or the sleds, as occasion demands he will
be, in certain sense, Independent Of wind
