**OKUMA, Shige-nobu** Count, (cr. '87), was b. Feb. '38 in Saga, and is one of the foremost living statesmen though fate has denied to the subject of this sketch as it has allowed to the late Prince Ito 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 cause which history will show. He then formed 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 the public, and Kurushima Tsuneki hurled a bomb at his coach. It inflicted a severe injury to his leg which was amputed consequently. When the Progressive 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, he declared his resignation of the leadership of the Party. But he continues to take active interest in politics and other affairs, for he is a many-sided man and can boast success in other spheres, especially in the founding of Waseda Semmon Gakko (now Waseda University) in '82 and for which he has been installed as Chancellor; while horticulture is his hobby and his collection of tropical plants, chiefly orchids, and other fare plants, is perhaps the best in Japan. Compiled or supervised compilation of various works as "Fifty Years of Japan," "National Reader." Was invested with Grand Cordon of Rising Sun and Paulownia in '10. Add.

He was confronted soon after his succession to the exalted ancestral seat with the national convulsion that had been originated several years before and that was aimed at pulling down the Regency and reinstating the Imp. House to its rightful sovereign seat.

## Who's Who

**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, '83-'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. Attended the coronation ceremony of Tsar Nicholas, '96, and brought home the Yamagata-Lobanow Convention in regard to Korea. Formed a Ministry, '89-'91, and had had rather stormy time with the freedom-loving people representatives, and in his second Ministry '98-'00 also. The Marshal's political career outwardly ended with the second Premiership, but he still continues to wield potential power in active politics, for Marquis Katsura is believed to be the Prince's successor in politics. The Prince is commonly regarded as principal representative of military absolutism and conservative ideas as opposed to the liberal and democratic principle held by the late Prince Ito, and the recent ministerial changes may therefore be said to have been outcome of rivalry between the two statesmen and their coteries. On the outbreak of the late War the Marshal succeeded Marshal Oyama as Chief of the General Staff, to be transferred to the Presidency of Privy Council on Prince Ito's departure for Korea as Resident-Gen. The latter's return from Korea has been followed by a change in their relative position in home politics. He was made member of the Order of Merit by King Edward. Add.
