'87), was b. Feb. '38 in Saga, and shares with Prince Ito the honour of being two of the ablest living statesmen of Japan. In prestige, mental vigor and intellectual activity the two really stand on the same plane, and both are alike in entertaining progressive views. There is really no political rivalry to separate the two though this compatibility can hardly exist between the Count and Prince Yamagata who is a statesman of conservative ideas. Fate, however, has denied to the subject of this sketch as it has allowed to the two Princes as better opportunities of directing the affairs of state. For about ten years, i.e., '73-81 he had charge of the Treasury first as Vice-Minister and then as full Minister, and this post he had to resign and retire from Government service ostensibly because his memorial urging the Government to introduce representative government was rejected by his colleagues, but probably from some deeper causes which history will show. An interesting episode in his official career was the military mission he undertook of suppressing the insurrection of Eto in '74. The immediate result of his resignation was the formation of the Kaishin-to, the forerunner of the present Progressive Party. In '88, the year preceding the promulgation of the Constitution, he filled the chair of the Foreign Office in the Cabinet of his great friend, the late Count Kuroda, and undertook the important task of revising the Treaties concluded with the Powers before the Restoration. The clause in the draft treaty for appointing foreign judges in the Supreme Court, had evoked the discontent of a section of public, and Kurushima Tsuneki hurled a bomb at his coach. It injured his leg which was amputated. When the Kaishin-to joined hands with the 2nd Matsukata Ministry '96, the Count re-entered the Cabinet as Foreign Minister and Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. This alliance soon broke down as was also the formation in June '98 of the Okuma-Itagaki Coalition Ministry in which the Count assumed the Premiership with additional duty as Minister of Foreign Affairs. In Feb. '07, at general meeting of the Progressive M.P.'s he declared his resignation of the leadership. Thus ends, so far, the Count's official career, which even his admirers can hardly call it a success. But he is a many-sided man and can boast success in other spheres, especially in the founding of Waseda Senmon Gakko (now Waseda Univ.) in '82 and for which he has just been installed as Chancellor; while horticulture is his hobby and his collection of tropical plants, chiefly orchids, and other rare plants is perhaps the best in Japan.

'07). Admiral. Chief of the Naval Staff. the hero of the memorable battle of the Japan Sea, b. in '47, a son of a petty retainer of the Lord of Kagoshima. He com- menced sailor's career at 16 on board a small warship owned by the Prince, and at 21 he on board the Kasuga (old), then one of the few ships in the infantine Navy of the Imp. Government, and first came under fire in the fight with the now Ad., then the rebel chief, Enomoto's Kwaiten. In '71 he with 13 young officers were sent to England for study, of whom he is the only survivor; entered the Military School near Portsmouth; then removed to the Merchant Marine School on the Thames; went through a course of practical navigation on board a sailing ship which sailed for and returned from Melbourne, '74; studied naval science under a Prof. of Greenwich Academy and returned home, '78 on board the Hiyei just completed at an English yard to the order of Japan. From that time till the outbreak of the Japan-China War, '94-'95, nothing particular occurred. His sinking of the Chinese transport Kowshing at the very threshold of the Japan-China War, then the Captain of the cruiser Naniwa, was fraught with grave consequences; for the Kowshing, though used as a transport by the Chinese, was a British steamer flying the British flag, while the negotiation between Japan and China had not yet been broken off: It was evident that Togo's act on that critical occasion did precipitate it. A story is told that even the late Marquis Saigo, then Minister of Marine, was aghast when the intelligence of the sinking of the Kowshing had reached him and that he repeatedly condemned it to have been rash and reckless. Some conjecture that Togo, in taking that resolute course, may have been under secret instruction from the late Gen. Viscount Kawakami, Chief of the General Staff, and whose strong representations could at last induce the then Premier, Prince Ito, to adopt the alternative of war. On the return of peace Togo was promoted Rear-Adm. with the 4th Order of Golden Kite, and was attached to one Admiralty after another, till in 1900 he became Vice-Admiral with the command of Maizuru Admiralty. That post he had to exchange with Vice-Adm. Hidaka, then Commander of the Combined Fleet, when the outbreak of hostilities with Russia was imminent. His actions during the war belong to the domain of history and should better be omitted here. When the surviving enemy's warships at Port Arthur had all be accounted for by the gun-fire from the memorable 203-metre height, Togo, with his Admirals and Captains, returned to Tokyo at the express desire of His Majesty. His arrival was on Dec. 30th '04, and he was welcomed with frantic enthusiasm by the grateful nation. Again on Feb. 6th '05, the anniversary of his first departure against Port Arthur, he left Tokyo on board the flagship Mikasa. This famous vessel, while lying at anchor at Sasebo, suddenly burst into explosion on the midnight Sept. 10th and sank with a fearful casualty of officers and men. The awful incident occurred on the very day when the Admiral secretly started for Tokyo on some important mission. After protracted attempt the precious battleship was refloated on Aug. 8, '06 and at once endocked.

Gov. was restored to power. He was a chief staff officer who practically directed the operation when the Imp. Army was sent against the clan of Aizu, the last champions of the fallen Tokugawa: appointed a Major-Gen. and a junior Vice-Minister of War by the Imp. Government soon after restoration of tranquillity. Promoted Lieut.-Gen. '72 and the Minister of War, '73: was chief of staff of the Army of subjugation commanded by the late H.I.H. Prince Arisugawa in the civil war '77. After having sat frequently in the chair of the Chief of the General Staff and of War, circumstances obliged him to undertake various civil posts, chiefly connected with Home Affairs and Justice Department. Visited Europe and America, '88-'89 to study the local self-government system and the constitution of civil corporations. Was sent to the front as commander of the 1st Army, in the Japan-China War, but soon compelled by ill-health to return home: granted Marquisate and 2nd Class Golden Kite as war honour. Attended the coronation ceremony of Tsar Nicholas, '96, and brought home the Yamagata-Lobanow Convention in regard to Korea. He undertook the arduous task of forming a Ministry, '89-91, and had had rather stormy time with the freedom-loving members, for from his long military career, he does not favour party politics. He was therefore opposed to Prince Ito when the latter, in resigning Premiership, recommended the Opposition leaders, Counts Okuma and Itagaki, to form a ministry as successors. When this Cabinet fell the Marshal, was obliged to undertake the task of forming a Ministry '98-'00, and his second Ministerial career was not a success. The Marshal's political career outwardly ended with this second Premiership, but he still continued to wield potential power in active politics. The late Katsura Cabinet was practically a Yamagata Ministry except in name, the ex-Premier himself being one of his most trusted lieutenants, for the Marshal's strong magnetic power combined with his paternal kindness has created a host of followers. His conservative ideas are naturally opposed to the principle held by Prince Ito, and the recent ministerial changes may therefore be said an outcome of rivalry between the two statesmen. On the outbreak of the late War the Marshal succeeded Marshal O-yama as Chief of the General Staff, to be transferred to present position on Prince Ito's departure for Korea as Resident-Gen. He was made member of the Order of Merit by King Edward, while the service in the late War was rewarded with 1st Class Golden Kite and Collar. Add.
