about LOO o'clock this afternoon, and so
seriously injured that he may die His left
foot was cut Off and the heel of the right
foot was badly injured. He was taken to
the Emergency Hospital in the sixth pre-
cinct patrol wagon. When he reached the
institution he was almost dead from loss of
blood.
The surgeons are doing everything that
can be done for him, and while he may re-
cover the chances are said to be decidedly
against him.
Malloy's relatives live In and about Par
kersburg. w. Va, and he also has many
friends at Cumberland, Md. He has been
on the road as supervisor for many years,
and is a general favorite with his fellow
workmen. This afternoon he reached the
Baltimore and Ohio depot from Baltimore
at LAO o'clock and stopped near the rear
end of the shed to look after some work.
Ten minutes after his arrival he was
struck by sleeping car that was being
backed from the yard to the shed
Several men who saw him and realized
the danger called to him to get out of the
way. but he evidently did not hear them
AS soon the car was stopped the In
jured man was taken from the track and
a message was sent for an ambulance The
police patrol wagon from the sixth precinct
was the first vehicle to respond. and In
few minutes the injured man was In the
hospital. His rela tives at Parkersbur9 were
notified Of the accident.

FIRE INSURANCE SITUATION.
What is Understood of Probable Ac-
tiOn of Potomac Company.


ton of Potomac Company.
There is to be meeting of the directors
of the Potomac Fire Insurance Company
tomorrow. and 1t Is understood that deci-
sion will be reached to remain neutral as
the local fire insurance troubles. Such ac-
ton will mean that the Potomac company
will cast its lot with neither of the asso-
are now in existence.
Up to date the representatives Of the
Potomac company have been meeting with
recently formed an organization of fire in
Surance underwriters, but at the meeting
of that association, which was held this
morning, the Potomac company was not
present.
1t was taken that this absence foreshad-
ows the action of the directors of the COM
pany at the meeting to be held tomorrow
and that, after the period Of uncertainty
as to which fold. If either. it would enter.
the conclusion has been reached to enter
neither The Potomac will continue to
act independent Of both organization
The local situation therefore remains I'M
changed. as neither party to the contro
versy has shown any disposition to YIELD
and the only new theory Is this anticipa-
ton of the attitude of the Potomac COM
pany. 1t is thought now that as neither Of
the organizations seems to be gaining ad-
herents the outcome will be the formation
harmOnize both factions. When that will
be, however, 1t Is impossible to say, as
there are no steps now being taken in that
direction. 1t is believed that with the soft
entng influence Of time and without the
rough Christening OF rate war 1t will be
possible after awhile to bring all the fire
insurance underwriters together on a basis
of mutual concession and forbearance.

Them Difficult From
Scarcity of Canned Meats.
The provisioning of Germany's naval
forces for the China campaign has been
greatly hampered by the scarcity of canned
meats in the empire, according to a recent
report to the State Department from Con-
sui Hugh Pitcairn at Hamburg.
The naval authorities at Kiel, he says
are compelled to buy canned meats at a high
price in foreign countries. because Of the
inability Of Germany to supply home de-
mands. Consul Pitcairn transmits an arti-
Gle published in a Denmark newspaper.

sausage placed by the German government
at Slagelse, for use of the Chinese squad

has been brought in supplying her ships

meat American canned meats, the latter
article says, have been largely used in sup
plying the German navy. The army. 1t
states. Is supplied by two large meat-pre-
serving plants at Spandau and at Mainz.
There is an urgent necessity for creating
new plants and extending the old ones to
such a degree that the provisioning Of
both the army and the navy can be &C.
complished by the home industry ,one.

COAL TAR COLORS.
Difference I'm Duties Between Those Of
Germany and FraAce.

Germany ana france.
Consul General Guenther writes from
Frankfort that German publications In the
interest of manufacturers of chemicals gem
orally. and those Of coal tar colors in par
ticular. complain that the new commercial
treaty between the United States and
France reduces the tariff on French coal
tar colors from 80 per cent ad valorem to
"a per cent while such German colors will
have to pay 80 per cent. Germany not re-
ceiving this benefit unless she makes con-
cessions to the United States. Attention Is
called to the fact that in consequence of
protective duties Of the United States the
coal tar color industry Is being built up
there, which will greatly injure Germany.
and every effort should be made to have
the duties lowered. in order to avoid the
establishment of American coal tar color
factories and to facilitate German exports
German interested circles advocate free
entry of chemicals into Germany. and II
possible free trade in those articles by
other countries, at least greatly reduced
duties Such a policy, the consul says,
would benefit Germany greatly. When one
looks at the statistios of German imports
and exports of chemicals 1t is not surpris-
ing that the policy advocated finds much
favor.
Germany proposes free trade in chemicals,
but. on the other hand. for Instance, a high
duty on boots and shoes. because as it IS
stated American competition in these goods
Is keen and Germany needs. the consul
says to protect her shoe industry against
the older and highly developed one Of the
United States.

1t Came Through Consul General
GOOdnOW Mt SHANGHAI.

A belated message from Minister Conger
was received at the State Department yes
terday. 1t came through Consul General
Goodnow. at Shanghai who transmitted
messages received by Mr.. Ragsdale. United
States consul at TEN Tsin, from Mr.. Con-
ger and Mr.. Squires. secretary of the United
States legation at Pekin. In effect the ad-
vices are the same as those received
day or two ago by the State Department
from Consul Fowler at Chefoo. Mr.. Good
now's message was transmitted to Presi-
dent Mckinley at Canton and MrAdee, act
ing secretary of state. later In the day is
sued the following statement concerning 1t:
Consul General Goodnow, in a cable
gram dated Shanghai, August 8, which was
received at the Department of State at
O'Clock this Sunday morning. reports the
receipt by Consul Ragsdale at Tien Tsin
of messages from Minister Conger and the
secretary Of the legation, Mr.. SQuires,
dated July q, to the following effect:
All well. No fighting since the 10th
by agreement. Enough provisions. Hope
for speedy relief
Mr.. Goodnow adds that the director of
posts. Sheng, had, on the 5th. communi
30. ordering Jung Lu to provide an escort
for the ministers to Tien Tsin when the
ministers fix the date. The edict says the
ministers can receive messages not in
clpher; but Notwithstanding this, plain
messages were returned to some consuls
on August l.
Not an Answer to Secretary Hay.
The State Department has taken the
ground that the dispatch from the tsung Ii
yamen, delivered at the department Sat
urday by Minister w. is not an answer to
the dispatch Of Secretary Hay sent on Au-
gust l. In that dispatch Secretary Hay
finally and decisively insisted that free
communication with the ministers must be
established before any steps would be
taken by this government toward peace
full solution of the present trouble. That
dispatch was sent to Consul General Good
now to be by him transmitted to Lii Hung
Chang. The message delivered by Minister
WI to the State Department yesterday,
relative to the inhibition of cipher dis
patches. was sent by the tsung Ii yamen on
July 30. As Of that date 1t already had
been communicated to the department by
Consul Fowler. Obviously. therefore, it
could not be reply to the dispatch sent
to Mr.. Goodnow by Secretary Hay on Au-
gust 1. A definite reply to the Secretarys
dispatch Of the LIST instant is awaited with
some concern, not to say anxiety. 1t is
the final word of the United States gov
eminent in the pending negotiations. The
demand must be acceded to- IL trouble of
serious character Is to be averted.

SECRETARY HAYS ILLNESS.
1t 10 Not at All of a Serious Charac'
ter.

Acting Secretary Adee received a tele-
gram today from Secretary Hay at Sunapee
Lake N H, saying that there is no truth
in the rumor of his serious illness. startling
accounts of which We're published In the
morning papers. Secretary Hay left here
last Friday and is now at his country
home, The Fells. on Lake Sunapee. three
miles from Newbury. N. H. With him are
Mrs. Hay, Misses Helen and Alice Hay and
Master Clarence Hay. Another son. Mr.
Adelbert S. Hay, who held the important
post of consul at Pretoria during the must
critical periods of the South African war,
Is now on his way home on a leave of alb
sence. According to the story published
this morning. Secretary Hay contracted
severe cold on the trip from Washington
and was threatened with nervous prostra-
ton. The fact that the Secretary has been
engaged in brain-racking work for several
months past led many people at first to
credit the report that he had broken down.
Consequently there was great rejoicing
among his many friends in this city today
over the personal report from Secretary
Hay that he Is not seriously Ill. 1t is sup
posed that he is merely temporarily indis-
posed as result of overwork and that
short season Of rest and recreation will re-
store him to his usual health
