A RUSSIAN PRINCESS.

REPORTED TO BE ALIVE. MARRIED IjTaUSTRALIA. ADELAIDE, Aug. 22. Mrs ) Mclntyre, formerly Madame Kossovskaiea, who arrived by the steamer Ballarat, states that Princess Olga, eldest daughter of the Czar of Russia, is not dead as supposed, but was recently in Sydney. When rthe rest -of the Royal i'amily were murdered* a secret society whereof Madame Kossovskaiea was a member, kept track of the princess. She first ‘sheltered with an uncle in England, and later journeyed to Australia, where her musical talents secured her a i position in the conservatorium. While there she married a man named Bennett and returned to London. In support of this story it is stated that some time ago the passenger list of an incoming steamer bore the name “Miss Romanoff,” and subsequently the same name appeared in the passenger list of an outgoing steamer. Madame Kossovskaiea herself had an adventurous career. At the age of 15 she married a famous musician and herself became a prima donna and joined a secret, society • plotting against the Czar. She joined Korniloff’s White Army opposing the Bolsheviks round the Black Sea, and participated in a number of engagements. She received severe bullet wounds and was sent to Salonika for treatment, where she met and married an English soldier named Mclntyre.—Press Association.
