MUST REPEAT SHEARER CHARGES
Presby terry seeks to Get Explanation From
the Rev. j. II. Hobbs.

Y Nut W NV = . ~
the Rev. j. II. Hobbs.
The Presbytery Of New York started
after the Rev. j. Howard Hobbs OF Jamaica,
L, J., yesterday. Just what are the inten-
tions Of the New York body Is not known,
but it was intimated at the close Of the
meeting yesterday that they include a de-
sire that Mr. Hobbs come to a meeting Of
the New York Preshytery and repeat or
retract the charges which he made in a
recent meeting OF the Presbytery Of Nassau
against the Rev. DR.. Frederick E. Shearer,
stated clerk of the New York Presbytery.
At the meeting in question he declared
that DIR. Shearer, whose official jurisdiction
does not extend beyond the borders of the
New York Presbytery, had meddled unduly
In the affairs OF the Nassau P~resbytery.
Mr.. Hobbs is a close friend and representa-
tive Of the Rev. DR.. Samuel T.. Carter, the
former Minister Of the Nassau Presbytery,
who would like to see the Westminster
Confession thrown away bodily as the creed
Of the Presbyterian Church.
There are rumors that Mr.. Hobbs be-
lieves that DR.. Shearer is responsible for
the effort made a year ago TO discipline the
Nassau ~Presbytery in the Synod OF New
York for not censuring or trying, the Rev.
DR.. Carter for his alleged heretioal views,
Fol some time, it became known yester-
day, the Moderatar's Council in the New

ances Of the Long Island Organization,

LONDON STREET Talking EVIL.
One Result. the D'Angcly Scandal. VIII
Cause a Government Inquiry.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE sun.
LONDON, May 1.-THE notice paper Of
the House Of Commons for tonight con-
tanned no fewer thar ten questions and
notices of motion concerning the action
OF the police in the case Of the French
w~oman-Mme. d'Angely-who was ar
rested on Regent street the other night on
the charge of being a disorderly person.
The facts OF the case are briefly as follows:
Nine. d'Angely, a married woman of
unimpeaohable character, while waiting for
her husband on Regent street at II 80 p. M,
was arrested as a prostitute plying her trade
and hailed of to the Marlborough street
police station. On the following day Ma gis-
trate Dennal discharged her with the re-
mark that no respectable women were seen
on Regent street after 0 O'Clock at night.
Denman is known as an upholder Of police
methods, and there have been several scan
dals lately on that account D'Angely de-
termined to obtain an apology from the
police, who for several days after the event
Swallowed his wife.
The case is not unusual. but it points

PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW LOAN.
$50 900 900 on Eighteen Months Notes Al
Ia Per Cent. the Reported Terms.

Terms of the loan for which the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has been negotiating for the
past month were arranged yesterday and
will be announced to-day. Kuhn, Loeb 4
Co. will take a large part, IL not all, Of the
loan, but members of the firm yesterday
declined to say to how great an extent
they were interested nor would they give
out the amount Of the loan or the rate Of
interest.
Bankers familiar with the negotiations
said that the loan would be made on eigh-
teen months notes, bearing ~ per cent.
interest and a~ggregating $50, 900 900. 1t has
been the general opinion that the amount
of the loan would be between $35, 900 900
and $50 900 900, and that it is the larger
figure will occasion little surprise on account
OF the borrowing company's need for
money in carrying out its extensive plans
in this city and elsewhere.

PRIVATE WATCHMEN
NOT UNDER POLICE
Commissioners Decide Question of Linn
iting the Beats Of Special
Officers.

Special night watchmen will not be
commissioned TO patrol certain desig
mated beats, nor will the authorities in
terfere to prevent the encroachment Of
one private watchman on the territory
patroiled by another. This Is the decision
of the District Commissioners IN settling
the dispute between the Night Watch
mems Association and the Washington
Fire Patrol Company over the question
e. permitting the employees of the latter
concern 10 patrol beats already patrOlled
by members OF the older organization.
The Commissioners took the position
that no one could be legally restrained
from watching buildings wherever such
employment was recognized by the prop
eFtY owner, no matter what the terri
tory, nor how adjoining property was
guarded
