Mrs. Cavendish Bcntenlck , nco Livings ton , Is to bo one of the hostesses this sea son and she , too. Is In the very smartest set. She has had some quite grand parties , but all the bamo she never made her name as a hostess. She has not tbo manner nor cleverness to raako a great success and has had rather bad luck. Year before last all her electric lights went out about midnight and quite spoiled her dance.

Pauline Astor Is the American debutante of the year and Mr. Astor is expected to glvo some of his usual big dinners and concerts In which ho Is much helped by Mrs. Ronalds , but considering his wealth and position on account of that wealth , he is something of a social failure.

DOINGS OF THE SWELL SET I.lttlc of Importance III ( tie Soelul AVorlil In London ( lie I'reMeiit ( Cop.vrlcht , 1SD9 , by Press Publishing Co ) LONDON , May G ( Now York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) It is freely predicted in smart society that the London season now opening will bo the dullestfor ten years. There la no big public event in sight , no royal visitor la expected and the fact that the princess of Wales Is in deep mourning for her mother and the duke and duchess of Coburg for their son , prevents hope of any royal parties. But the chief cause of the poor promise of the season Is that the Aaerlcan nnd Anglo-American hostesses who have provided London with its great social events du Ing recent jears nro for ono cause or nnother not likely to fisuro largely in this season's gaieties. The death of the dowager duchess of Marlbor ough is the prime factor , ns her daughters me amongst the English leadois of society and she was closely connected with several Important Americans. There is some talk of the young duke be coming the next \iceroy of Ireland if Cad- egan , on account of 111 health and recent troubles , resigns the appointment In the autumn. This would be convenient to the duke and duchejs , ta they are buying up small buildings lying around Curzoh chapel. As the house Is to be the most beautiful and stuaptuous In London It will surely take a longtlmo to build and decorate It. The site includes a good deal of space in the most fashionable part of Mayfalr , but eome people think it a sort of desecration to have a house where a chapel had been , although no bodies are burled beneath. Lily , duchess of Marlborough , has a hand some house In Carlton House terrace , but has never done anything in the way of en tertaining except at Newmarket , where she and Lord William always have parties for the races , nnd at Deepdene , where they spend eomo tlmo each jear. They had friends staying with them at Newmarket last week , but Lilyti the duchess , did not actually appear on the heath because in mourning. Lady Randolph has a house party to meet the prince cf Wales this week. Lady Ran dolph only given dinner parties when In town , but she shares her opera box with Lllj' , the duchess , and just now she Is very busy about her Anglo-Saxon Review , to which she haw Induced all her smart and clover friends to contribute. Lady Randolph ChurchlU'a two sisters , Mrs. Moroton Frew en and Mrs. Jack Leslie , nro both In more or less the same set , but not ea much In re quest nor so generally known. The duchess of Manchester -will not be In town thla year on account of the delicacy of her daughter , Lady Alice Montague , who nearly died towards the end of last jcar , and the doctors tell her she must spend eighteen months In the pure nir of Saint Morltz. by which tlmo she may outgiow her delicacy , although she is wonderfully bet ter. ter.The The duke of Manchester is in London now after having a gay tlmo at Monte Carlo , where , although It was suppposed ho was quite broke , ho uas staking 1,000-franc notes aa though a millionaire. There Is ,1 rumor ho was privately married to the beautiful Miss Joan Wllsan. Some oven went so far as to say the marriage was In ono of the peerages and , anyhow , ho overs the mar rlago will certainly como off. Another sister of the duchess of Man chester , Lidy Lister Kayo , will bo In town this season , but will not do anything In the way of entertaining , nor can Lady Naylor Leyland do anything at her mag nificent Hyde park houaa , for her husband Is seriously 111. Even It ho recovers he will bo sent to Eomo place abroad to recuper ate. fun nil In it Ilniik Itolilieil. DRESDEN , Ont. , May 5. The local branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce was this morning robbed of an amount estimated at $10,000. The charwoman who takea care of the bank offices was the first to discover the robbery today. The front doors of the bank had been pried open. Two holes wore bored In tbo vault door , a charge of nltro-glycerlno was exploded and then the Inner safe was attacked in n similar manner. The second door apparently jloldeU as quickly as the first and the burglars gathered up the cur rency and fled. The manager of the bank says they did not get more than $2,000. The pollco report that the amount of currency stolen was MO.OOO and those who are In a position to know say this amount Is nearly correct.

Public attention ha : again been directed to America's growing competition with England In the Industrial markets by the announcement this v\cci < that the now Hnglliti trunk line , the Great Central railway , has ordered a batch of lo comotives In America , while advices from abroad show that the Americans nro benttna the English right along the lino. The Brit ish consul nt La Ilochcllc , 1'rnncc , In n re port just submitted , sajs that the Amcrlcanr nro fast taking the agricultural mattilnerv business In his district from English firms , The latter , It Is pointed out by the conmu , would not conform to the farmers' dcmana for light machinery , whereas the Americans have adapted themselves to circumstances nnd ninko machinery that Is exactly sultcoi to the farmers' requirements. The foregoing Is only a sample of the tributes which arc now constantly found In consular reports to American enterprise nnd showing that American manufacturers are slowly crowd ing their Kngllsh ilvals out of markets which the British thought were their own preserves. Articles on Anglo-American industrial ami commercial rivalry , which nrocry llatterlnf ; to Americans , constantly appear In the 1'ng- llsh press. The Dally News , In a tjplcal ar- tlclo this week on "American Engines Ttio Threatened Invasion , " compares the enor mous progiess in power nnd speed of Ameri can locomotives with the slight Improve ments In English engines. The Dally New * savs : "It is n trifle humiliating , but stll nons the less a fact , that our modern English en gines , both for passengers and goods trnins , have not Increased In power faster than trains In weight. On the other hand , tech nical experts como back from America with glowing accounts of great Imiwovcmcnts In railway working thole. " The nrticlo fuither declares that this re cently created superiority , which must be ascribed to the latest developments in the American locomotive , In which wcio com bined speed and power , has not jet been re alized in England. In connection with this commercial Invasion of the old world by American engines , a Chicago engineer iiamea Bates arrived In London Ifils week. Mr. Bates Is plajing an important part in the introduction ojt American machinery nnd methods. Eighteen montlu ago the Russian government requested Mr. Bates to make n study of the river Volena with a view to the Improvement of its navigation. As a result the government has decided to adopt his methods for some 2,500 miles of river Im provement nnd has instructed him to con struct the largest nnd most powerful dredg ing machine that can bo built. This ma chine has just been completed In Belgium. It Is an electrically self-propelling hydraulic dredge of C.500 horse power. It Is creating a great deal of comment and speculation in engineering and scientific circles , Tctt of HIIKC Drcilce. Prince Hillcoff , the Russian minister of public works , and the Belgian minister of public works , together with a large company of Belgian officials , wore present at tests of the dredging machine , which v.cro made in , the river Scheldt a few days ago. Since these tests were made commissions repre senting the Australian and the Indian gov ernments ha\c Inspected the machine , as n result of which Mr. Bates In London today- signed contracts to furnish similar plants for India and Australia. Commissions from the Suez canal , from South Africa , China and Japan , besides several European coun tries , are coming to inspect the machine , while the last to announce an Intended visit are the kin ? of Belgium and Prince Albert , Bon of the heir apparent to the Belgian throne. Regarding the general Industry situation Mr. Bates said that the present boom In Iron and steel in the United States has had the effect of checking the expansion of American trade In Europe. Up to a few months ago ho had been able to Import all kinds of machinery and material cheaper from America than It could bo bought In Europe , but this Is now no longer the case. Captain Crozlcr , the military member of the American delegation to the International peace conference. Is hero making Inquiries at Woolwich before ho goes to the continent. Captain Croler carries credentials to Trench and Gorman military depots. His mission Includes Investigation of nnd report upon the latest passes and developments In quick firing Hold artlllciy Douglas Hnrry Coghlll , member of the House'of Commons for Stoke-on-Trent , will next Aveek ask the government whether , considering the Injury done our trade by the present United States taiiff , the foreign office will enter specific commercial negotia tions with the United States with a view to obtaining favorable treatment for British manufactures.

Whether divorces are becoming - coming moro numerous in England and America than Itioy were a few years ago I cannot say , but I feel no hesitation what ever In stating In the strongest possible terms my conviction that the strength and prosperity of a nation depend more on the Indissoluble directness attached to the niai- rkigo bond than any other conditions , A great man said that the 'foundation atone of the republic Is the hearth stone.

Mrs. John Jacob Astor only flits through London. Whenever she is hero she makes a sensation on account of her wonderful diamonds mends , which are noticeable even in a city where every ono from a trainer's wife or ballet girl upward wears beautiful jewels. Amongst the American set sbo Is naturally a power , but London people care very little for these who are only birds of passage and do not mean to entertain. For the same reason Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Belmout's names are only names in Lon don. If they were staying with the duke and duchess of Marlborough they would probably bo invited to go with them to any partj' , but the question as to whether they would bo received In London society cannot bo answered with any certainty unless they put It to the test. There Is a rumor that Mrs. Potter Palmer Is coming to London this season and the celebrated queen of Chicago society made several important friends this jear at Cannes , but to generality of English people she Is qulto unknown nnd whether she suc ceeds socially or not depends almost entirely on whom she gets to launch her and what kind of entertainments she gives.

The board , however has lost hope cf c\er being able to bring the contractor nnd the men together This hopclefs situation was brought nlnu by the action of the striking Grain Sho\el. era' union In rejecting the propositions emu. milled by a Joint committee of the State Boaid of Mediation and Arbitration , tin Lake Carriers' nraoclatlon , the Klcvntor as sociation , the Merchant exchange nnd the United Trades and Labor council and agrcci ! to by Mr. Connors. The proposition was the result of n conference among the ropro- sentntlvcs of these organizations whlc'i ' lasted from 11 o'clcck In the morning until late In the afternoon. The conference wan held at the Iroquols hotel. Contractor Con nors was called before the conference com mittee and requested to e.ato what conces sions ho would make to the men. Mr. Con nors said ho would do anthing that wa = fair , but that ho would icfuso to abandon his contract In compliance with the request of the stilkcrs. At 3.15 o'clock this after noon the committee announced that an agreement had been reached , but declined to give any Information concerning Its terms until after It bad been submitted to the grain shovclers. It was not until S o'clock tonight that the proposition In typewritten form was laid before - fore Itio grain sho\clcrs. At that tlmo 2,000 of them had assembled at their hall. The proposition was carried to the hall by repru- fcentatlves of the labor Interests and was admitted first to President McMahon of the Griiln Shovelcis' union. The proposition waste to the effect that Mr. Connors would agree , to abolish the saloon boss sjstcm , that dummies would not bo placed on the pay roll , that a representatho citizen of Buffalo would bo appointed with power to Investi gate nil complaints made by the men In the future and that the men would reecho $1.S3 pei 1,000 bushels , which was the scale Ilxeu last jcar. McMlllioll IN IJiij leliliiiK. President McMahon declared Immediately after reading the proposition that "ho rejected It and would refuse to submit It to tho'meu. The committee of labor men urged him to permit the men to vote on ttio proposition , but McMahon refused. Instead he walked to the front of the slage and said : "A fake proposition has been submitted to us by the Lake Carriers' association. As it provides for a continuance of the contract sjstcm , I have rejected it In jour behalf. " The grain shovulers cheered the announce ment enthusiastically. President McMahon then announced that the men would ha\o nothing more to do with the Lake Canlers' association , but would fight the matter out on the docks. The men who ha\o been endeavoring to bring about a peaceful settlement of the difficulty were much disappointed when in formed of the stand taken by the grain sho\olers. Mr. Goulden said : "Tho Lake Cinlcrs' association has done all it can. Wo will leave now and let the men flght It out with Mr. Connors. " President Johnson of the State Board..of Mediation and Arbitration said : "The propo sition wis a perfectly fair ono. The dmnand oil the part of the men that the contiact bo abrogated Is absurd. While the board will not lea\o Buffalo yet It appears as If It would bo useless to make further efforts to effect a compromise. " President McMahon claims that the propo sition was refused for the reason that the contractors never kept pledges in the past and could not bo expected to do so in the future. A final effort will bo made tomor row through Bishop Qulgley of the Catholic dloceso here to Induce the men to make terms. Itloie Mr ii Jo I ii Sd-IUei-N. It was announced tonight that the monthly men nt the elevatois and the coal heavers on the coal docks would go out on Monday. This will add ueaily 2,000 men to the ruuks of the strikers. Persistent rumors were current tonight that Contractor Connors had made arrange ments to bring 1,000 men to Buffalo from Now York to take the place of the strikers. Mr. Connors denies this , but theic is un doubted evidence that men are to bo brought hero from eomo towns and If this Is done serious trouble is sure to follow. There Is no noticeable improvement In the matter of unloading the big Ileet of grain \essels now here. Men arc working at Borur.il elevators , but where 100 should bo at work there are but fifteen or twenty nnd progress Is slow. A big fleet from Duluth Is expected hero dally and when It arrives predictions are made that the haibor will bo completely blocked.
