MCARREN MEETS GORMAN
II Conference Which May Haze
Far Reaching Political Results.
tFRom THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, Dec. ia conference which
may be far reaching in it's influence and results
was held here to-day between Senator Arthur
P. German and State Senator P. H. McCarren,
the leader OF the Kings County Democracy. At
its close neither would disclose the nature of
the subjects discussed. While Senator German
has carefully refrained from announcing his
candidacy for the Democratic nomination for
President. it is well understood that he is some
thing more than receptive candidate, and that
he has, either personally or through his lieu
tenants, kept in close touch with the political
situation generally. with view to ascertaining
approximately the strength he could command
at the convention should he decide to enter the
race.
Senator McCarrens influence in Kings County
is expected to make him an important fuctor
in the New-York delegation to the Democratic
National Convention, and it is not considered
surprising here that Senator German should at
least sound the Brooklyn leader the attitude
he would assume toward his candidacy. If the
Maryland Senator could secure the support Of
the Brooklyn delegates. it would be an inter-
esting wedge that would not only materially as
sist his candidacy, but might seriously endanger
the chances of any New-York man securing the
nomination. Tammany has given no intima-
ton to whom 1T will support, and the fight
for the nomination is still open one.
Should Senator German enlist the aid of the
field actively in his interests, his candidacy, it
is believed here, would at once become for
mdable.
Senator O'GOrman entertained Mr. McCarren
at dinner tonight.
Representative Mcclellan devoted most of the
day to his correspondence. He said this after
noon that he expected John ]. Deany down to-
night, and that possibly Murphy would come
with him.
Charles F. Murphy, accompanied by Philip F
Donahue, arrived at the Shoreham at 8 o'clock
tonight. before Mr.. Mcclellan returned from
spending the evening out. Mr.. Murphy will
have long Sunday conference with the Mayor
elect Possibly Mr. Delany will reach here
early tomorrow.

TALK OF ADJOURNMENT.
Session of Congress Nay End by
June I,

Washington, Dec 12.-The decision of the Ma
tional Committee to have the Republican con-
vention meet on June p created considerable
talk about the Capitol as to the probable date or
the adjournment of Congress, and the fact de-
veloped that there has already been more or less
exchange of views among leaders Of the Senate
and the House on the question. The opinion is
general among them that it will be possible TO
close the work of the session by June l. They
count upon Speaker Cannon to press the APP

and 1t is believed that aside from these and &C
ton on the Panama and Chinese treaties there
will be little general legislation at the present
session. Republican leaders generally feel the
ACCESSIBILITY of taking up as few questions as
possible at this session, and the Republican Sen
ators are trying to secure an agreement with the
House to adjourn for Christmas next Friday.
The treaties will not be taken up until after the
holiday recess.

RED, BLACK OR BLONDE.
Dark-Haired Children Have the Most
Imagination, Hut Red-Headed
Get the Good Marks.

Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the school
authorities at Lille. 1t is found that
auburn-haired boys are generally at
the head of the recitation classes, and
blonde girls come out highest as arith-
meticians. But in composition they
are nowhere, says the London Ex-
press.
The dark-haired children of both
sexes have the quality of imagination,
and in their compositions know how
not to fatigue the attention, and as
compared to the auburn and blondes
are born stylists.
dare say the auburn boys and
blond lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are Of Flemish-that is to say,
phlegmatic-race. Their brains do
not grow at once congested when they
stand up to recite, and for that reason
they keep the mastery CT the vocal or
gans. In short, they continue to know
what they are about. The dark chill
dren are probably of Celtic-that is to
say, Gallic-origin. The blood comes
with a rush to their brains, and they
grow confused, splutter and break
down. If they could only be Taught to
remain silent for few moments they
would be all the better for this rush,
as the confusion would have passed
away, leaving only stimulated mental
organs.
Finally, on the subject of hair, says
a writer in Truth, am sorry to say
that the red-headed boys and girls in
the Lille schools are at the bottom in
everything, save in good conduct
marks. Nor are they remarkable for
good health. The dark boys behave
better than the auburn or the fair, and
are more sensitive to praise or blame.

CAMEL A CURIOSITY.
One with Two Humps Creates Sen.
sation Among the People OF
Cairo, Egypt.

One would hardly expect to hear of
camel being an object of public at
traction in Egypt. That such is the
case, however, Is vouched for by the
Egyptian Gazette. 1.-THE ship of the
DESERT" or the one-humped drome-
dairy, Is very common in the streets of
Cairo and other parts of the Nile
country, but when the geological gar
den at Ghizeh secured q specimen of
the two-humped Bactrian camel there
was indeed sensation.
The double-decked ship of the des-
ert was the most interesting animal
In the menagerie to the native Egyp-
tian who had been familiar all HIS life
with the one-humped variety.
Strange as It may. seem, this particu-
lar specimen was bred and secured

the strike of the cooks and walters
and restaurant employees last night.
Early in the evening the employees or
Kinsley's restaurant went on strike,
leaving a number of guests to shift
for themselves. The restaurant Keep
ers' association held a stormy meet
ing. President Walton was deposed
and expelled after being accused OF
being a mediator with a proposition
to settle the strike for $1,000
Shortly before noon the Grand Pa
cific employees. including bartenders,
walters, cooks, bellboys and cham
bermaids were called out. The Audi
torium annex was the next place call
ed out and 500 Of the 700 employees
walked out, compelling the manage
ment to close the kitchens and dining
rooms, although feeble efforts were
made to prepare and serve meals with
bellboys.
Provisions wagons turned back
from the hotels where the strike is
one through the teamsters' union.
The employees of the Palmer house,
Victoria, Stratford and yelling ho-
tells went out this afternoon, adding
several hundred more to the ranks of
the striking walters union.

Fined for Violating
the SprlnkIing Law.

City Treasurer Harry Eggleston is
collecting $3.50 piece from citizens
whose water has been turned off by
the inspectors because they have vio-
lated the law fixing the hours for
sprinkling.
A prominent citizen called at the
city hall this morning and was white
with rage because the water at his
place had been stopped. He said he
had not been warned by the inspect
ors, but admitted later that his wife
had received the warning. He was
told that all people must be treated
alike in this matter. and that he
must put up the $3.50 fine the same
as other people. The money was paid
