New YoRL Oct. 8. - The Tribune
says: The true history of the contest
for the Electoral votes of Florida IN 1876
is told for the first time in cipher dis.
patches of the Democratic managers in that
State, to and from Gramercy Park, N. Y.
Translations of these dispatches given in
the Tribune to-day show that the confiden-
tial agents of Mr.. Tilden in that State
were Manton Marble, G. w. Woolley and
John f. Coyle; that these agents went
to Tallahassee with ciphers for communica-
ton with the residence of Tilden, that they
first labored by lawful means to secure for
him the vote of the State and failed because
the official returns gave majority for
Hayes. Cipher dispatches regarding bribery
of members of the Canvassing Board then
passed between Tilden's residence and his
confidential agents in Tallahassee.
One proposition to pay 100000 for q
member was held too high because another
dispatch from different agent promised a
cheaper bargain. Then by both agents sep
arate propositions were sent in separate
ciphers, to buy member for $4,000. The
reply from Gramercy was: Proposition ac-
cepted, if done only once" The two
agents were then separately ordered to con-
suit with each other in haste.
1t does not clearly appear that the goods
would have been delivered, but the scheme
fell through because four words were
dropped from the dispatch authorizing the
purchase, thus making it unintelligble. 1t
was, after some delay, repeated from Ora
mercy Park in full and ineligible form,
but arrived too late, and the visiting states
men so reported to Gramercy Park.
DETROIT, Oct 8.-The trial of Samuel J..
Tilden's lawyer, Thos. Harland, charged
with feloniously abstracting the books used
in evidence in the Tilden income suit at
Marquette, Mich, was resumed yesterday.
The telegraph operator in Court produced
cipher dispatches to and from Gramercy
Park, New York (Tilden's resdence). The
books were taken away in a carriage, and
are said to be now at the New York Mine
at Ishpeming. Laurence McCloskey, Gen
eral Superintendent and Michigan Director
of the Mine, says he has key to the cipher
telegrams and was directed by the Com
missioner to produce it, but refused to do
so, and was arrested for contempt of Court.
The question of contempt will be argued
before u. s. Judge Baxter.

RECENT investigations in France as TO the
discovery of the art of taking sun pictures,
which has been attributed to Daguerre, have
led to the conclusion that the credit belongs
to Joseph Nicephore Niepce, born in l7G5,
who spent long life in experiments for max
ing pictures by the action of light in connec-
tion with chemical substances. 1t has been
proved that Niepee exhibited as good pictures
in 1927 rs the first of Daguerres ten years Ia
ter, and that in 1929 the two formed a CO.
partnership. The contract between them has
been recently published, which so completely
removes all doubt as to the question of prior
ity of invention that commission has been
appointed to raise funds for monument to
the real author of the discovery.
