He is nfrt only one of tbe richest of the mikado's subjects, but a financier whone ability and prestige have been of the greatest service since tbe war with Ilussla began In helping to maintain the credit f the nation and keep the war chest full to over flowing. Count Okuma has had a re markable career, and from Its very beginning be has been associated with progress in the land of his birth. He has held numerous offices and has sev eral times beea premier. He organ ized the Progressist party, to which was chiefly due the institution of par liamentary goerrimeiit, and has since been its acknowledged leader. His benefactions to his nation have been numerous, and yet notwithstanding his services attempts on his life, In IKTZEIOB OF CXJUKT OKUIU'8 BOM. stigated by political hatred, have been made, one of which resulted In the loss of bis right Wg.
