The Princess Lwoff, more widely known by her art name, Mme. Parlaghy, the celebrated portrait painter, of Austria, is visiting in this city. Mme. Parlaghy has painted excellent portraits of the Emperor of Germany and many other crowned heads of Europe. The Russian Ambassador, Count Cassini, entertained at a small dinner Wednesday night in honor of Mme. Parlaghy. Among the guests were the Italian Ambassador, Baron Fava; Prince Basile Kotzckoubey, who is also a guest in this country for a short while, and M. Pavloff, the Russian Minister to Corea.
The Placement
I asked ChatGPT to elaborate on my theory that this event was a coordination meeting between representatives of Russia, Germany and the U.S. to secure mining operations.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 18.—It was reported yesterday that the Monte Christo Mines and the Everett Smelter had been sold to a German syndicate for $1,200,000, and that as a condition of the sale the Rockefeller syndicate agreed to repair and operate the Everett and Monte Christo Railroad. This agreement, it is said, contained a provision that the tonnage charge on Monte Christo ore should not exceed $2 per ton. W. J. Rucker was supposed to have promoted the deal while in New York lately.
The story is believed here but cannot be confirmed
During that week, everyone was talking about these recent nuptials. Prince Mikhail Cantacuzène met Julia Dent Grant, first born grandchild of U.S. President , who was traveling in Europe with her maternal aunt, Bertha Palmer (née Honoré). Aunt and niece travelled throughout Europe to promote interest in the World’s Columbian Exposition as well as to collect art. The couple married in the home of her aunt Bertha Palmer in Newport, Rhode Island, on 22 September 1899.
