Crack in a Famous Bell.

An ominous crack has Just been dis
covered in one of the most famous
bells in the world, the so-called La
Clemence," in the Cathedral of ST.
Peter at Geneva. 1t is the bell which
was sounded at the "Escalade" of the
dark night of st. Thomas Day, De-
cember 81, 1902. when the 5000 Savoy
ards made their attack upon the
Rome of Professionalism" The assail-
ants had crept close to the fortifica-
tions unobserved, and had planted
their ladders. the Jesuit missioners
exhorting them in whispers, Climb.
climb. every rung of the ladder is a
step toward heaven." when the loud
clinging of La Clemence was heard,
calling the citizens to arms, and Gen
eva was rescued. The Savoyards were
driven back and the aged Theodore
Beza called the people into the cathe-
dral, where they sang the l24th Psalm.
From 1902 to 1901. on every December
Il. the now silenced bell has been
rung In memory OF the "Escalade."

It Was Planned That the Arrest
Should Take Place Wednesday
Washington. May 1.-THE arrest Of
Gaynor and Greene at Quebec was the re-
suit Of a carefully laid plan Of Chief
Wflkie, Of the Secret Service It was de-
nied that the department had sent men
to apprehend the fugitives, but 1t was
later learned that Inspectors Bennett.
Burke, Taylor and three others had been
assigned to the case
The capture was planned to come of
yesterday. and the department had been
looking for news of their arrest all day
Even now the Secret Service officials will
not admit the receipt of any advices, but
1t Is known that the whole arrangements
were perfectly carried out, even to the
issuance of the warrants by the judge on
the application Of Chief of Detectives Car
penter Of Montreal. It is stated that It
is not unusual for United States Secret
Service men to go over the line into
Canada in order to watch the movements
OF persons wanted for offenses committed
In the United States, and that frequently
this IL done with the knowledge of the
Canadian authorities.
The expectation here Is that when ar
raigned before the Montreal authorities,
Messrs. Gaynor and Greene will endeavor
to secure their release by habeas corpus
proceedings. Any efforts in that line will
be vigorously resisted by Mr.. Erwin, who
has employed well-known firm Of at
torneys of Montreal to assist him II,
whatever proceedings are had The con-
fident belief Of the officials here is that
this Government will be able to secure
the extradition of the two men, in which
case they will be taken to Savannah for
trial.

A r. Holt was postmaster at VAL

on his official bond and the amount was
finally recovered. Criminal proceedings
were also commenced against him, and
he gave q bond for his appearance at
court. with Harry c. Mix. surety there
on The defendant failed to appear and
forfeiture was taken
Mr.. Strohecker. who was attorney for
the defendant. Holt. and also for Mr..
Mix. in a letter dated March q, 1899. to
the Assistant Attorney General said:
Please find out as soon as possible wheth-
er or not the mol pross can be obtained
in the Holt case. If 1t can be, / am pref
ty sure the money due the government on
the defaIcation can be obtained, and we
can produce the man; we will have him
present any way. but no money will be
paid on that claim unless nolle PROSE-
is entered.
"I have found the man. He did not
die as We thought. but recovered and 1
am in communication with him. Could it
be arranged so that the nolle PROSE- could
he entered at Macon during this term of
court?
The Attorney General then continues:
The defendant. Holt. 1t seems. went to
Mexico and has never been tried
1T seems useless to require persons
charged with crime to give bond for APP
pearance In court If they can remain
away and the sureties on their bonds be
relieSed from liability. To give relief in
this particular case seems to be but to
set n bad example,"
The President adds: "In view OF the
statements above set forth. am con-
strained to withhold my approval of the
BILL
