SOUTHERN POETRY
 ALL TN LYRIC VEIN
Dr.. Snyder Says War Poetry of the South Is the Finest of the Kind
 In American Literature.

University, June 2S.-(Special) )-This morning at the general assembly Dr. Snyder delivered his lecture on South ern Poetry" which he said might be more aptly called the lyric poetry of the south, for in reality that was practically the only kind of poetry composed in this sec ton. In the preface of his lecture he showed that poetry has always been the product, or accompaniment of periods of fernent and upheaval in the history of nations. But he said that while there were great movements going on at the south between 1872 and 1860, with a few exceptions there were no great poetic achievements, for the master creative minds were turned towards statecraft. Excepting Poe. Hayne and Timrod, there were few creative poets; but there were quite a number of cultured men who wrote poetry as a pastime And almost all of these writers adopted the senti- mental lyric as their form of expression. In all of this poetry, he said that there is scarcely an original note to be heard, its inspiration being drawn from the Eng fish cavalier poets and from Moore and Byron. As to the outward qualities of this poetry he said that it was graceful and musical, but that 1t lacked the truly poetic feeling. Here Dr. Snyder illus trated his remarks with several selec- tions.
 But" he said, If our sentimsntal lyrics lack the proper ring a note of no uncer- tain tone is struck in our patriotic lyrics.' He cited ''rhe Bivouac of the Dead as one of the greatest lyrics of its kind in existence. and he said that the war poetry of the south was the most truly poetic and finest of that na- ture of any in our American literature. This poetry he divided into three kinds: Emotional outbursts of patriotism. de- scriptions of camp scenes and ballads of individual achievement. As illustrations of these types. he mentioned 'virginians of the Valley Music in the Camp, and Little Giiffen." With the Conquered Banner" written in 1865 by Father Ryan. he said that this era was brought to a close. In conclusion he read Christmas in the Quarters" as an illustration of the happier tone pervading our poetry since 1865.

The agrarian scheme drawn for the gov- ernment by M. StichinslSy. minister of agriculture. is now completed but has not been finally approved. It still rejects the principle of appropriation, but con- tains enough concessions from the pro- granme announced Premier Goremykin three weeks ago by providing for the dis tribution of all lands belonging to the state In European Russia, but neither the crown lands. belonging to the Emperor, nor the lands belonging to members of the imperial family or the church are in- cluded In it, and besides contains the orig inal features providing for the distribution of the lands of private peers which would be sold through the peasant banks, and the colonization of peasants.

CHANCE OF FRONT IN RUSS|A'S RULER Disaffection in Army Open Gov-
 ernment's Eyes ARMY IS THEIR ONLY HOPE Sudden Fear of Affronting Public Opinion Shown By Hurried Grant
 of New Trials to Con-
 demned Men.

St Petersburg, June 8.-The, campaign which the oppositional element in par liament are waging to compel Emperor Nicholas to dismiss the Goremykin cab inet and accept the principle of d re- sponsible ministry, promises soon to be crowned with success. But the Emperor and the court are being frightened into surrender less by the violent attacks made on the government in the lower house than by the alarming spread of reVolu- tionary disaffection among the troops. When the Preobrajensky regiment His Majestys Own, pronounced its solidarity with parliament, and its agrarian pro- gramne in the big camp of the guard regiments at Krasnoe- -Selo less than a dozen miles from the Peterhof, the Elm perors eyes opened and the court began realizing that there was only step from that to declaring allegiance of parlia- ment as against the government.
 Even the former procurator general of the holy synod, M Pobedonosseff is said to have recognized the inevitable. and to have reversed the position of a life time and to have advised the Emperor to yield to the demand for a responsible ministry as the only means of preserving the throne.
