The United States was very much in

Hirobumi Ito. four times premier Of
Japan and the head Of the elder states
men. who practically decided on war with
Russia. was between sixty-eight and
seventy-one years old. Some of his
biographers say he was born in 1888, but
the Japanese year book places the date
at September 2, 1S41. He was prominent
in the affairs of Japan for many years
and concluded the agreement with Ii
Hung Chang after the Chinese-Japanese
war. He made several tours Of the Unit
ed States and was Lido by Yale in
1901. He was created a count in 1854
made a marquis in 1895 and a prince in
1906.
Ito was the only child of petty clans
man of the Lord of Ghoshu. He was en-
dowed with a strong constitution and
great vigor of mind. and although he had
no military training he soon made him.

He was picked out by KIDD. the leader
of the Ghoshu clan at that time, as his
most trusted lieutenant.
Becomes Governor Of Hiogo.
When the present imperial government
was inaugurated in 1868 Ito was appoint
ed governor OF Hiogo. Some five years
before that he had escaped by stealth from
Shanghai and spent some time abroad In
year In London and visited various other
capitals with this object in view.
He was appointed vice minister OF
finance In 1863, and when in 1871 Lord
Iwakura was sent to approach the west
ern countries on the question OF revising
the old treaties with Japan, Ito was sent
along as one Of the junior plenipotentia-
ries
Ito had previously been appointed a vice
minister Of state. On his return he drew
up the Japanese banking regulations,
which are based on the American model
and were based on the result OF his
Investigations while in Europe and the
United States. In 1877 a number of cir
cumstances forced Ito't the front. KIDD.
the leader of the ChOshu clan, died and
his successor. Okubo. was assassinated
shortly afterward. Ito at the time was
minister of public works.
His associates were men OF small men,
tai caliber and he dominated them COM
pletely. In 1881 proclamation was is
sued announcing that constitutional gov
eminent would be installed ten years
later and Ito and a number of other
statesmen were dispatched to Europe and
America to study the various systems Of
government. Ito was created a count in
1884 and in 1885 he succeeded Prince
Sanjo. who resigned as premier. He was
then forty-four years old.
Recognises Government.
Count Ito reorganized the various de-
partments of the government on the plans
of western powers and founded the con-
stitutionaI political association. He be-
came premier again some years later and
was instrumental in introducing the con-
stitution to Japan. He was premier twice
after this, and as already stated drew

and had led an arduous life, Prince Ito
was still vigorous and did not hesitate
to subject himself. in the performance of
his duties, to personal hardships from
which even the younger men might
shrink. An Illustration OF this was his
trip last year in midwinter, throughout
Korea, from one end to the other of the
provinces. in the course of which. owing
to the necessarily limited accommoda-
lions, he was subjected to extreme cold
and other personal discomforts. which
he cheerfully bore. In fact, it is stated
by those who have been personally as
ISOLATED with the prince for several years.
that he appeared to thrive much better
under the primitive conditions in Korea
than even in his more comfortable sur
roundings in Japan.
''He was also man Of strong personal
attachments, as was shown by his classic
friendship with the Marquis Inouye and
his very pleasant relations with the late
Crown Prince of Korea. to whom he
stood in the position of grand tutor.
Zone also felt very strongly the world
breadth of his point of view OF looking
at any diplomatic problem in the far east
itself. his constant realization that the
great interests of the west in the far east
evidently made the policies and opinion
of western countries an important factor

part of the world, where the interests or
SO MANY governments are lltoTINl
His nearest counterpart in China is Yuan
Shih Kai, who was the leading man until

Recalls Incident at Hague.
The death of Prince Ito recalls an Incl
dent of the second peace conference at
The Hague In 1907. Two Koreans had
arrived there in the hope that they would
be recognized as representing their coun-
try High officials from nearly every
civilized nation on the globe We're pres.
ent, and 1t had been the strong hope OF
these two lone Koreans that they might
be given a place among the others. and
their earnest appeals for recognition ex-
cited the sympathy of all with whom
they came in contact.
They first appealed to the Americans
and then to the English and from one
delegation to another they went urging
that their beloved country be recognized
as still an independent nation, but while
nearly all Of the delegates personally
would gladly have admitted them to
seats in the conferences they could do
nothing. When there was no longer any
hope one of the two sickened and died,
and, save his companion. there was no
one willing to risk criticism by attending
his body to the train on which 1T was
taken back to his native land.

the boy must have met with the
catastrophe just as he was about to
drive from the farm yard. He had
hltched the horses up all right and had
started for the field. When the boy was
found the horses were both down and

When the doctors came they found

the trunk of a big tree at the foot Of
which his unconscious body was found.
