DEATH OF BARON HIRSCH.
Daily Telegraph, 22nd AprilD

Vienna, Tuesday.
At three o'clock thismorning, Baron Maui
rice Hilsch. the celebrated millionaire and
generous philanthropist, breathed his last in
Ogyalln, near Komorn in Hungary, whittier
he had come to make arrangements for con-
structing a magnificent hunting seat. He
had arrived in Vienna from Paris on Satur.
day last, when his friends remarked that he
appeared 30 be suffering in health, although
he himself did not complain Of any indispo-
sitlon. On Sunday morning he left for
Ogyallo in Hungary. He seemed unusually
nervous and restless, but was apparently
quite we'll yesterday evening, when he avail
ed himself of an invitation to the house of
a neighbouring estate owner, named Ehren-
field, where numerous guests we're assembled.
He remained there until one o'clock this
morning, conversing freely, and showing no
signs whatever of distress. About three
o'clock some guests who were in rooms ad-
joining Baron Hirsch's apartments heard
loud groans, and on entering found him
lying in bed motionless. All efforts to revive
him were f%ruitless. A physician was called
in at once, but he could only announce the
fact that death was due to paralysis of the
heart. The body will probably be conveyed
to Paris.
The death of Baron Hirsch is bewailed al
most as a national calamity in Austria Hun
gary, where his p%rincely munificence has be-
come proverbial. Ever since the death of
his only son he devoted life and fortune to
works Of philanthrophy, and in the first place

is either relaxed, or probably abandoned.
In time, however, if steadily and intelli-
gently pursued, the profits, though smaller
than anticipated, are often OF a substantial
character. The Bahamas Sisal has success
ully passed through these stages. IhoseJ
ngaged in it are now hopeful OF It's ultImatee
success. They feel that, by keeping down
the expenses to the lowest, they will always
have IL margin for profit, with the possibility
that, on an average of years, the returns VIII
fully reward their labours. lt is estimated
that about 100, 900 acres of Grown land
have been disposed of for fibre purposes, and
possibly there are $4,000 acres OF private
lands also set apart for the anne purpose.
These areas will practically represent the
outside limit Of the Sisal cultivation IN the
Bahamas. The actual area 80 far planted ID
probably not more than $4,000 acres. "
this, about l., 900 acres are likely to yield
fibre within the next two years. at the END
OF 1897 the exports should reach about 5000
tons. Bahamas Sisai will, therefore, not
come immediately into serious competition
with any other white rope hber. These
facts Will afford commercial men, both here
and in the States, the means of forecastlng,
with tolerable accuracy, the futile OF The
industry.
The chief points to which attention should
now be directed are the uniform production
of trst-clas8 tibre-that is fibre of good
colour, luStra and strength to meet the
require ncnts Of the best markets. 1t neces-
sary legislative action might be adopted, to
safeguard he interests of the industry, and
prevent short, inferior, or immature fibre
from being Slipped from the colony. The
fibre is at It's best only after due time has
been given for its growth and hence unwi8s
methods should be dealt with by the Gov
eminent in the highest interests Of those
who have embarked their capital IN the
enterprise, as well rs Of those who may
hereafter take part in it. Consistent efforts
should also De made to produce the fibre at
the lowest possible cost, so as to leave a
margin for profit upon the lowest price at
which similar nbre could be produced III any
other country.
The practical difficulties connected with
starting the industry have been overcome.
Labour is both cheap and sufficiently abun-
dant for all present requirements. Expert
ence ha, shown how best to avoid some of
the errors Of the past and given only
moderate prices for the produce, the future
of the BthamaS Sisal should be as we'll
assured as that Of any cultural industries.
It's success would be Of considerable benefit
70 the Bahama Islands, and would bring
to them such a measure of prosperity that
would stimulate the develop meut of many
other Industries for which they are admirably
adapted by their geographical position, and
the favorable circumstances Of both soil
and climate,

OF THE CASE OF THE BAHAMAS
SISAL INDUSTRY.

The Sisal industry in the Bahamas is now
in a fair way Of being established. 1t has
had to pass through several very trying
experiences, but the ultimate issue is
decidedly promising. The efforts to start
any new branch Of industry are laborious,
and often costly. The first estimates of
expenses are usually placed too low. and
the returns too high. For a year OF two
things look hopeful then there is a period
of suspense and uncertainty with a fall in
prices a reaction sets in, and the cultivation

New York, May G6th.-London news re-

week:
Ilavre de Grace.-With plenty of rain the
past week, corn and tomatoes have made very
rapid growth. Timothy has improved con
siderable since the recent rain. Some wheat
has been cut in this vicinity. More sunshine
is needed to facilitate progress in harvesting.

Fale.-The past week warm: frequent light
rains. Wheat harvest is progressing slowly
on account of damp weather. Corn looking
well. Tomatoes and potatoes promise well.
Hay is very much improved.-A. 5. Bay.

rains delayed harvest operations somewhat.
Cutting wheat in active operation. Oats rip
euing. Corn growing finely, warm weather
and rains making this result, while fields are
generally well tilled.-H. A. Wroth.
FIintville.-The past week has been very
unfavorable for harvesting. Showers Of rain
fell on Wednesday,, Thursday and Sunday;
the intervening days being cloudy aud damp;
but it has been very beneficial to the growing
crops. Unless we have good weather for the
next two weeks there will be some loss to the
farmers in harvesting their crops, as but very
little of it has been done. The indications
now are favorable for clearer weather.-C. K.
