PLAIN CHANT.
A eenedietine Abbey Where Greaoria,
Is Sung and Taught.

ls Sung and Taught.
The small hamlet of Conception, in
the state of Missouri, which has Bene-
diction Abbey for its DISTINGUISHED
feature, consists of perhaps thirty Of
forty scattered houses, the homes Of
retired farmers, who have left the
agricultural districts to the younger
generation and moved to the vicinity
of the Abbey to be near the consola.
lions of their faith, for they are near
ly all Catholics. There are few youna
people in this place.
Attention is now turned toward this
Abbey for the reason that here are
the best authorities on the plain chant
of the Catholic Church in this part of
the world. From many states church
musicians are making trips to Con-
ception to take advantage of the
course Of liturgical instruction, COM
plete and detailed as could possibly
be compressed into a course of study
that is scarcely prolonged beyond two
weeks, and the Rev. Gregory Huegle,
o. S. B., is the director of music of
the college and organist and director
of the choral choir Of priests and stu.
dents, who sit in the carved stalls that
line the sanctuary in two rows on
each side, and sing high mass, YES
pers and the regular Office of the order
every day. There are about sixty
eight stalls in the sanctuary. AS a
rule the choir, which consists of about
forty male voices, sings the liturgical
numbers standing, the venerable Abb
bot and the Father Prior each taking
their part. There is no other music
save that in the sanctuary. The choir
loft in the front of the church is fitted
up with pews for the brothers Of the
order, who perform their devotions
there.
The sublime expression of the Bene-
dictine rendition of the liturgical num-
bers gives a new dignity and devotion
to the service for those who hear it
for the first time. 1t is a complete
surprise, so different from what one
expects, even those who are familiar
with the well-known Medicoean ver-
sion. 1t is music submitted, separat-
ed from earthly membranes and
suggestions; it carries each worshiper
into the sanctuary near the altar and
leaves him there awed and satisfied.
One might fancy that the angels
might sing in just that way, with q
subdued joy in every line, a smooth
and swift, yet not hurried rhythm
Everything is sung mezza voce, and
the rhythm of the music is so blended
with the text accounts, the cadences
are so fine and soft, with fascinat-
ing, vanishing effect, that the polish
and finesse cannot be described in or
binary musical terms for our modern
music furnishes nothing like it. 1t is
the Benedictine style peculiar to them
alone, and the sisters and orphan chill
dren in Conception sing in the same
way in lesser degree. If every one
could hear the monks sing the beauti-
full old songs of the Church with the
Benedictine traditions, Pope Plus x.
would have no trouble in re-establish-
ing it, and the predominating thought
would be, how could devout person
prefer any other kind of music as an
adjunct to the mass?

does Minneapolis. 1t is unfortunate to
say the least that Christian ministers
should lend their aid to such men as
Seguin. By so doing they cast discred-
it upon themselves and the work in
which they are engaged. There is no
danger that Seguin will succeed in de-
stroying the Catholic Church. He was
dealt with promptly and severely BY
that organization when his true char
acter was revealed. There is some
danger, however, that he viii do con-

WILL DEMAND AMNESTY
RULING PARTY IN RUSSIAN PAR.
LAMENT SEEKS RELEASE OF
POLITICAL PRISONERS.
not DIsuAYEo BY CARS SPEECH
DETERMINED TO CONTINUE THE
STRUGGLE FOR A coNsTITu-
TIoNAL MONARCHY.

st. Petersburg, May 12.-The I'm
preston left by the Inauguration OF
the new parliament is on the whole
optimistic Even the radical papers
assume a rather hopeful tone. The
Rech, organ Of the Constitutional Dem
ocrats and now the most powerful pa
per in Russia, while not concealing its
disappointment at the fact that the
expected amnesty was not granted, on
the other hand expresses its satisfac-
ton that the emperor did not use the
word "autocracy." 1t regards his
majesty's speech as an adroit refusal
to grant any further concessions, leav-
ing the new fundamental law as the
platform of the government, adding:
But the policy OF marking time
while events are marching SO rapidly
really means retreat"
The Constitutional Democrats, how
ever, are in nowise dismayed at the
prospect of having to continue the
struggle. 1t Is already apparent that
they intend to nail the flag OF . con-
stitutional monarchy to their mast
head, but their first efforts will be
directed to forcing
General Political Amnesty
from the unwilling hands of the en-
peror. The deliverance Of the political
prisoners and those who have suffered
for freedoms cause is now passion
with the masses and it is difficult to
see how the government will be able
to resist.
The central committee OF the Con.
stitutional Democrats is working out
a reply to the speech from the throne.
The principal points will be amnesty
and equality of political and civil
rights. But faction is insisting on a
demand for the abolition of the council
of the empire. An attempt will be
made to come to an agreement with
the peasants, who are drawing up an
independent reply. Their chief de-
mands are amnesty, the reorganiza-
tion Of the labor laws. the reorganiza-
tion of the army, the disbanding of the
Cossacks, the separation OF church and
state, a general extension of the
schools and equal rights for all ma.
tionallties.
