SHE Is AN AMERICAN.

Sara I3ernhardt Reveals Herself IN Some
AstOnished Relatives.
PORTLAND, Ore, July 2s.-Fendleton con-
tains the nephew Of the famous sensational
actress, Sara Rernhardt.
The most interesting feature of this fact
is that the nephew, J. II. Keables. has inst
discovered his relationship, and that dis
covery leads to the history of the illustrious
Sara's origin, differing materially from that
given in her biographies.
keables received a letter Wednesday from
his mother, now Mrs. l.. X. Bell. who
lives at Wsite River, Tulare county, Gal.
She state that her niece, Miss Mary Mum.
who lives in Iowa, had received u letter
from Sarah Bernhardt. in which the great
actress dlscloses the tact that he is Mrs.
Bells younger sister, who ran away from
her home in York state thirty nine years
ago.
According to Mr.. Keables's story, Sara
WAS then sprightly young girl ID years
old, and was just developing temper for
which she has since become noted. Her
true name is Sara King. and she was born
on American soil. Her father. Kingsley
King, WIS of French and Jewish descent,
and plasterer by occupation, living in
Rochester, N. Y. Sara's mother was dead,
and she and the other childten lived with
an aunt, her fathers sister, Mrs. Mary
Fineheld. in Rochester. One day remark
displeased her and she left the house. This
was not an unusual occurrence, an. no at
tention was paid to it for the time being.
Sara did not return, however, and her
fate has been mystery for thirty-nine
succeeding years in which she had been re-
ferred to by nephews and pieces as their
"lost Aunt Sara" She was mourned as one
dead, and the surprise which her own dis
closure has occasioned may be imagined.
1--WE would have been glad to hear of our
aunt if she had been dlsnwasher IN a chop
house, said M. keables. 1.-The fact that
she is the world-famous actress, of course,
is nm additional source of pleasure"
| Bernhardt Gun no longer be called q
| French actress, if this be true, and has sew
e1al relatives, including two sisters and ono
brother in the United States. whom she
will doubtless visit when she comes to this
| country.

Marked by Great Enthusiasm.

CRoNsTADT, July 2s.-The dinner given to
the French sailors yesterday at the Cron-
stadt exchange was marked by lesser de-
gree of official character than any of the
previous festivities. About 300 visitors
were present, and all toasts of significant
nature were drank amid utmost enthusiasm.
During the entertainment the officers of the
French feet appeared upon the balcony of
the exchange, where enormous crowds of
people greeted them with frantic cheers
and fought and struggled to get pieces of
tricolor flags which the French officers de-
tached from the decorations of the ex-
change and threw among the populace.
shouting at the same time "Vivela Russis.' -
The people about the exchange responded
to these cries with "Vlve la France" and in
every way the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.
The crowd also several times insisted on
hearing the "Marseillaiss."

RARBAROUS RUSSIANS.

Tale of Inhumanity Told by Refugees
at Boston.
BosToN. July 2S.-rhe Russian Jews who
came here on the steamer Kansas and are
detained at this port by the requirements
of the new immigration law, told, in an in
terveiw through an interpreter est,rday of
the prosecutions which drove them from
Russia. The browning piece was the burn,
ing of their hamlet, thus described. IL
WAS Il little farming settlement near Veile.
containing eighteen houses with barnns and
buildings. July IL, about midnight, II doz-
en- or so Russians from the city came troop
ing down upon them and set fire to the
whole settlement. Fourteen of the Jews
were burned to death and twenty more fear
fully burned. The Jews armed themselves
with stones and sticks and gave chase. The
Russians were thoroughly surprised at this,
because they were accustomed to lave their
own way with these people. One young
man whose mother had been cruelty burned
took crow bar and attacked three of the
Russians. He killed two of them and
struck the third one such blow that he
died in an hour. All tho time the Russians
were rushing wildly about shouting, skill
the Jewsl Kill the Jews!'' In the midst of
the turmoil officers from Veile, attracted
by the blaze came into the settlement and
arrested the young man who had killed the
three Russians and also captured other
Jews. These were tried July 70 ana prob
ably will be sent to Siberia.

Afraid of Republican Sentiment.

LONDON. July 2S.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times tslegraphs that
official journals do not like the enthusiasm
that has been aroused by the visit of the
French fleet to Cronstadt. II is asserted
that the czar is displeased with the mani
festations made in favor of the republic
and that he ordered that no pleasure
steamer be allowed to approach near the
French war ships when he visited Admiral
Gervais. II is not believed in this city that
the visit Of the French squadron to Cron-
stadt will have lasting effect upon the
friendly relations existing between the two
countries. The opinion is expressed that
the czar will never consent TO an actual
alliance with the French republic and it is
asserted that the czar only with the greatest
difficulty was persuaded to abandon for a
moment his known distrust of France.

MIR. Cleveland Will Make No Speeches in
Ohio OF Elsewhere.
BosToN, July 2S.-To representative of
the Herald, at Buzsard's Bay, Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland said to-day, in reply to in
quiries concerning the report that he was
to go soon on a speech making trip IN Ohio:
81 do not expect to take part in the cam
paign there or in any other state, and
have never given the slightest intimation
of my intention to do SO. l am convinced
that Gov. Campbell and all other fair
minded political friends will understand
why l decline to 90 upon the stump. There
are perfectly good and valid reasons for my
action entirely consistent with the most
earnest desire for the success of all demo-
cratic candidates in Ohio or elsewhere. or
course anticipate that u cry will be raised
in certain quartets, if such request is made
and declined, that am selfish and indif-
ferent to the success of the nominees of my
party, but such ill-naturod accusations do
not expect to escape i'll any event."

NOTHING TO FEAR.

Welsh Tin Plate Manufacturers not Afraid
OF American Competition.
LONDON, July 2s.-The resumption of the
Welsh tin plate works is only partial, of
firms fortunate to secure orders. Work
will only continue while the orders
last, by week to week contracts,
with the men. No appreciable reluc-
tion of stocks IN America is noticed.
Prices are still unremunerative. During
July shipments from Swansea have been
under 600 tons weekly, as against 10000
to $1,000 tons in the same month in 1880,
while tho stock now in hand amounts to
4OO,M0 boxes against 1.590,O0O boxes
In the corresponding week in 1880.
1t is estimated that three months
must elapse before trade becomes
brisk again, but general confidence ia felt
among manufacturers that trade will regu-
late itself within six months. Threatened
American competition causes no serious
alarm to most manufacturers though some
of the less sanguine think the Americans
will eventually succeed in establishing
tho trade, especially as they will
be able to adopt labor saving
appliances. attempts to introduce which
have already incurred the resentment of
men and will inevitably lead to severe
struggle. The Daniel Edwards company
are unable to resume, their men declining
to work the new fux system.
The company are therefore taking
steps to sell their hux PATENTS
to America. Other firms are also idle, their
men refusing to work at reduced wages.
The attitude of workmen is largely the out
come of inquiries of American agents for
laborers. If the masters here do not CON
cede the demands of the men the latter
know they can secure employment in
America.
The relationship between capital and
labor is becoming strained and it is feared
employers will be forced to consider the nd.
visibility of transferring their business to
America. The manufacturers Offer
to reopen their works on lower
wages, merely ito give the mer
employment, and without the hope OF
profit. The secretary of the Tin Plate
Masters association in an interview to-day
confirmed these views, but added that there
was nothing to fear from purely American
competition.

ran away. They had not succeeded in do
ing any damage.

On the Altar of vanity.

A malicious maid who had to leave
the service of Princess Frederick
Charles of Prussia against her will has
been telling in the most plausible way
the means which her royal highness
adopts to maintain a slim waist despite
her advancing years. According to this
authority the process is as follows:
When her royal highness has almost
finished her toilet the service of two
sturdy maids with remarkably long
hands are requisitioned. These SER
vitors press the sides and front OF She
corset while the mistress of the robes
pulls the laces with all her might, and
are not allowed torelax their efforts I'M
til the princess by a little gasp indicates
that the pressure has become almost
nnbearable.
