The sub-committee In charge. including Chair

gressman Payne OF Wisconsin, held an informal
meeting at the Walton to-day. They were in
session about two hours. What they did be-

Henry i. Teipke Of Pawt,Icket, r. l.. came
here this morning and registered as proxy
10 Gen. Charles X, Brayton. who IL the mem
ber Of the National Committee from Rhode
Island. His appearance was responsible for
a rumor that he had come thus early in the
interest of Secretary Long. He called on
Mr.. Manley and they had q prolonged con-
versation. Later Mr.. Tiepke said that he
was not here In the interests OF Secretary Long.
but he added
Long is the candidate OF New England and
he will have the individual vote OF that Sec
ton OF the country until the right man is named
But do not believe that he will be the man.
My opinion Is that Congressman Dolliver OF
Iowa will go on the ticket with Mr.. Mckinley,
and would not be at all surprised should he
be named on the first ballot.
The allied Republican clubs are making
arrangements for entertaining the convention
visitors. Committees will meet all clubs and
delegations at the trains and escort them to
the Young Republican, Club house on South
Broad street where they i'll receive cards
that will enttle them to coc esies at all the

Discovery Of q New scheme 10 Defraud BY
Using the Mails.

Boston. June il.--A new scheme for using
the mails in an attempt TO defraud has just been
unearthed by the Cleveland Whio) Post once
inspectors. Many of the dupes are residents Of
Boston.
A Watertown widower, who was one OF the
intended victims. refused to be swindled and
reported the case to Postmaster Hibbard. The
local Post ONCE inspectors were made ac-
quainted with the case on Saturday, but they
had hardly started out on ii when they heard
that the swindlers had been arrested on COM
plant of others who had paid their money
The man under arrest Is NJ. II Ross, tin
smith. Of Cleveland Ross. il Is alleged. repre-
sented himself as lawyer who was authorized
to negotiate for the marriage OF an heiress and
he sent copies OF an alleged letter from the
guardian Of the girl to men throughout the
beautiful young girl.
The recipients OF the letters saw visions of
wealth coming to them by simply marrying
beautiful young woman. The last part
OF the letter, however. stated that the
wooer would be required to send on
t25 as guarantee OF good faith nnd
TO pay the preliminary expenses of the wedding
II Is said that copies OF these letters we're sent
TO a large number OF Boston men. OF this num-
Der many sent the required S25, ana there the
correspondence dropped The poor spelling In
the letters did much to expose the swindle
A copy OF the letter from the guardian in
sisted that the marriage should be performed
oosed by saying Cora, my ward wants TO
start Immediately after the ceremony on her
bridal tour to London, Paris, Europe, the Holy
Land and around the world

urday. He will not return until shortly before
the close OF the campaign.
Mclean lieutenants have not all boon takea
into his confidence and there is consequently
division Of sentiment as TO what the expres-
sions Of the platform should be with reference
TO the money and Philippine questions. nor are
they agreed as to who the four delegates-at.

Judge X. NJ; Dittey, the. chief KiIbourns
manager, says II would be suicidal to declare In
favor. OF the 10 toll proposition, and while he
would condemn the National Government for
carrying the war into the Philippines he would
have the platform uphold the Administration

fight over the platform and also over the seleo-
tion Of the four rdelegates-at-larRe.
