'Turkey-Yesterday and Today was
the subject OF an illustrated lecture given
last night at the Columbia Theater by
Nox Mccain. the third of a series which
lie is delivering in Washington. Moving
pictures Of fires in Constantinople, Of the
.amusements of the Turks and other
scenes were remarkably good and were
heartily applauded.
Mr. Mccain took his auditors by way
of Malta to the lost provinces Of Bosnia
and Herzegovina. He showed the British
artillery stationed at the Malta forts en-
gagged in target practice. and the harbor
of Valetta. Sarajo, the spired city Of
the near east. the yelled Turkish women
and the city palace were among the pic
lures which followed. Mr.. Mccain ex-
planned the difficulty which attended the
taking of photographs in Turkey, par
ticuiarly of the Turks themselves, who
look upon the camera as bugaboo.
The bazaars, the shQplike dog kennels,
the crowded living quarters. and the
plague spots" Of Europe were wildly
pictured. Views of Addanople and Con-
stantinople were particularly interesting.
Mr.. Mccain told In a humorous manner
OF at least one Turkish woman who was
not afraid of her husband, and Of an adj
venture with q fanatic.
Many of the pictures shown related to
the present war between Turkey and the
Balkan states. Views of wagon loads
of dead bodies being taken from the front
and people fleeing In fear of the Balkan
armies were thrown on the screen, as
were pictures Of the sultan's bodyguard,
Turkish cavalry and Turkish infantry,
and the armored autos used to defend the
Turkish cities.
Mr.. Mccain will repeat his lecture on
Turkey at the Columbia Theater this aft
ernoon at o'clock.

KEY WEST, Fla, March 1O.-Reports
today from the scene OF the wreck of
the British steamer Lugano, on Ajax
reef. are that Capt. Penwill and his crew
remain on the ship from which 116 pas
sengers were taken yesterday by the tug
Rescue. Wreckers are standing by to

Havana probably Wednesday.
One hundred and sixteen passengers,

first-class passengers, were immigrants.
bound from Spain to Cuba, were taken
off by the tug rescue yesterday afternoon.
The passengers were landed here last
night by the tug. All have been housed
in buildings along the docks. cots hav-
ing been prepared for them before the
Rescue arrived.
Transfer Quickly Effected.
Transfer of the passengers from the
Lugano to the Rescue was effected in
two hours, small boats being used. OF
the passengers rescued twelve were wom-
en-, fifteen children and the remaining
eighty-nine men.
1t was 80 o'clock in the morning when
the Lugano suddenly struck the reef.
Capt Penwill Immediately realized that
the position of the vessel was serious.
Distress rockets and wireless calls re-
manned unanswered for hours.
Finally the message was picked up by
the United States wireless station here.
At the same time 1t was intercepted by
the tug Rescue, bound for this port. The
latter vessel Immediately set out for the
Lugano and had succeeded in taking off
her passengers before additional tugs,
sent from here, arrived at the scene.
Owners Notified Of Accident.
Capt Penwill last night wired officials Of
the Lloyd line, to which the Lugano be-
longed, notifying them Of the accident
and asking that aid be sent at once in an
effort to save the ship. When the tug
Rescue left the ship yesterday afternoon
she had eighteen feet Of water in her first
hold.
Complete explanation of the accident
to the British steamer is not given. 1t Is
reported that the waters Of the Gulf OF
Mexico were quiet Saturday night and
early yesterday.

BUILDING SCANDAL In ROME.
Palace Of Justice Has Cost 81, &C.,

Jurisprudence OF The Star.

ROME. February %, 1918.
The excessive cost of the new Palace Of
Justice in Rome has for some time past
been the subject OF ofncial inquiry. As
the result two members Of the firm OF
contractors who undertook the building
have been arrested on q criminal charge
and a warrant has been issued for the
arrest Of an advocate. charged with COM
plicity In the frauds.
These arrests have caused great SEN
sation in Rome, as they seem likely to
prove the prelude to a wide-reaching
scandal. The original estimate for the
building In question was within $1,25O.-
600. The actual cost to the country has
been more than $500. 900, and satisfac-
tory explanations of this extraordinary
increase are still wanting

that the peoples share in the actual
governing of the country is small. Their
representatives are only in session three

acts must be submitted for approval at
the next session of the diet. In the past.
however, whenever q diet has refused to
approve what the cabinet has done the
premier has not had much difficulty in
inducing the emperor to order its dissolu-
ton.
For over decade the people have been
murmuring that the aristocrats are too
powerful. They have been agitating
steadily for revision Of the constitu-
ton. They advocate longer sessions of
the diet. more power for the house of

deed very strong in Japan, but casual
students Of Japanese affairs have been
greatly mistaken in thinking that the
people were satisfied with their gov

Japan for long time, and the poverty
brought on by the war with Russia, plus
the endless conflict between old GUS
toms and the new western ways, has
contributed to it.
BLreaucrats. and they have been in the
majority. have always displayed great
contempt for the demands of the people.
They have considered themselves almost
as divinely appointed as the emperor
himself. The people thought the same
until lately, but that day has passed
forever. One reason why progress has
not been made faster has been the I'M
fitness of the members of the house of
representatives themselves. AS rule,
the democratic members have been venal
or greatly inferior to the bureaucrats.
The capable ones usually joined the
bureaucrats by accepting titles.
Lack of respectable political organize
ton has also prevented unity of action.
The principal parties are seiyukai and
kokLminto, but neither has ever con-
trolled affairs. Indeed, the best men have
stood aloof from them, and it took the
stirring events of the present crisis to
show that the rise of representative party
government has begun in Japan.

Americans seem greatly astoniSneo
over the insults which japanese crowds
are heaping upon their public officials II
has always been thought throughout the
world at large that everything In Japan
worked from the government DOWNWARD
instead of from the people upward. ana
that off1cialdom was specially sacred. All
this has been true to a great extent on
the surface. but underground forces have
been at work for long time to loosen
the grip the bureaucrats so long nave
had on public affairs. Foreigners In gen.
eral, and Americans in particular, have
known little of all this. and even alien

the wrecking Of several standpat news
paper plants seem quite confounding to
the conventional estimate of the Japanese
people, but the world forgets that similar
tactics were employed in 1905 to show
the disgust Of the peope with the treaty
of Portsmouth which ended the war with
Russia.
What does make even the expert
foreign observer open his eyes is the fact
that the people have succeeded IN their
protest. They not only brought about
the downfall Of the Katsura ministry In
less than two months after its inception,
but they did SO in the face OF an I'M
perial rescript from the emperor himself.
This particular phase of the situation
really is amazing. Heretofore q re-
script from the throne has been binding
law upon the people, and 1t has always
been supposed that not even doubt OF
an emperor's righteousness could be
breathed by any loyal subject of the Son
Of Heaven. All OF which goes to show

kind in the way they go after what they
want.
A long, bitter fight for constitutional
rights is the cause of the trouble in
Japan. The sudden effacing Of Prince
Katsura and the appointment of Admiral
Count Yamamoto to the premiership have
not brought complete victory. The peos
pie are demanding the large share In gov
ernmental affairs guaranteed them by the
constitution Of 1889. and they are deter
mined that the cabinet shall be more re-
sponsive to the will Of the diet than to
the nod of the emperor. Before success
crowns their efforts they must crush clan
influence on the one hand, and on the
other hand they must make worthy the
rather unworthy diet which they would
exalt.
