HAD DISTINGUISHED CAREER.
Kauru Inouye Welcomed Western
Civilization to Japan.

The death of Marquis Kaoru Inouye
announced by cable from Toxic yesterday,
leaves only three surviving members of
the powerful group of "genro" or elder
statesmen. whose work and influence
have had so much to do with the up
building of modern Japan.
Marquis Inouye, although an octo-
genarian and long lacking in vigor
of body. retained his strong mental
powers we'll to the last and continued
to exert the marked influence he had
long possessed over financial and other
affairs of the empire.
His career throughout his active po-
litical life, which dated back to the
early COS. was a distinguished one.
At first possessed of anti-foreign ideas,
he soon became a convert to the doc
trine that western civilization should
be welcomed to Japan and was active
in the establishment of cordial rela-
tions with foreign powers.
Marquis Inouye was notably 1dentl-
fed with Japanese finances, one of his
early posts having been minister OF
finance, while industrial affairs also en-
gagged his active interest. He and the
remaining elder statesmen are credited
with having been virtually the guiding
forces of the empire during the criti-
cal days of the Russo-Japanese war,
the marquis paying particular atten-
ton to the nations finances.
The elder statesmen remaining are
Princes Yamagata and Oyama and
Marquis Matsukata.

didn't matter at all.
