LINCOLN , Jan. 13. ( Special. ) Friends of
Whitney and Mills , the two embezzlers from
Ilarlan county who are now In the peni
tentiary , arc making a. move to eecuro thtlr
release and If all reports are true there la
romcthtng sensational In the turn mattera
nro taking. William M. Krvln , a prominent
local politician from Harlan county , came
tip yesterday and went out to the peniten
tiary to see Mills. It Is said that ho was
empowered to conduct negotiations so thnt
In csao Mills could ho released from the
penitentiary for a short time $3,000 would
bo raised to use In malting a compromlno
settlement with the Hoard o Supervisor of
Harlan county. The friends of Mills scorn
to have gained the Impression that In case
such a Bcttlomcnt could too made the scn-
tcnco of Mills could bo revoked. However ,
when Mr. Krvln arrived nt the penitentiary
the warden would not allow him toaco AHIlo ,
having made the rule tint the newly regis
tered prlaancrs could reo no visitors except
thclrj regular attorneys. Cohb & Hirvoy , at
torneys of this city , have been emplojcd by
the frlcndtf of Mills and an attempt will bo
made to accuro the rclcaao of the ex-banker
on habeas corpus proceedings. The groundo
upon which the application Is to bo niod will
bo that the HUprumo ourt handed down Its
decision In the case at an "adjourned term"
and n lust case will be made on this point.
SIGHTS A IIOl'H FOR DARTLHY.
If the attornejs are relying on uny oliicr
claims of Irregularity to mipport their posi
tion they have not scon fit to make them
public. In the meantime , a test oiso In thu
attempt to free Mills woull have mcro than
n double significance , as the opinions alllrm-
Ing the dcr'fllons ' of the loner courts In the
casts of iMIlla , Wliltnoy and Ulartley were all
hamlcd down on the eamo day , and an op-
pllciitlen that would result In the release of
IMIlls would bo good for the releasa of the
other two It was noticed- I his aftcinoon
that the Mills ntid Hartley attorneys were In
close consultation and that i.hoy were to
gether In looking up liio law In the cuoe.
The thrco decisions were handed down by
the supreme court on the 3d of January ,
189S , and the records show that Mils day was
not oil "adjourned sitting , " but was an extra
Bitting , being a part of the regular Septem
ber term It Is learned that Iti Is the. . usual
practice of tiio court to hold a short exlici
flitting the first of the year Just before the
commci'cemc'Jj of tno now term In order
thnt pending cases might bo disposed of In
the term during which the healings were
had. The attorneys of.Mills and Hartley ex
pect to look up Hie law and act on the habo'is
corpus Idea tomorrow. In case they ran ilnd
authorities to sustain them. Other attor-
nojd , ho\\e\er , have very little faith In the
proceeding and It Is raid tholt the lawjtrs
who hail charge of the Mills ca c. up to the
present tlmo have declined to assist In tbe
new application.

A single scale Is capable of producing thro *

ITHACA , N. y. , Jan. 13-Speclal.-The ( )
ftthletlc council of Coinell university nas
finally answered the challenge of Yale to
join the llarvard-Yalo boat race at New-
London this spring. In brief , Cornell agrees
to race at New London with Harvard and
Ynle , If Cornell \ > s allowed to name the
course for a similar- race in tbe spring of
1S99 The conditional clmlloiRe of lale , In
which that university Inhltted on the Nevv
London coin so for Ihifl V ar. has been met
with a conditional answer from Corn0 ! ! , the
latter untveisity Insisting on the right to
name the couise for the ifollowlug year
On the campus here It is the genoial
opinion that more consideration Ins been
shown the challenge from Yale than most
of the undergraduates desired. The deci
sion of the council was reached after ma
ture deliberation , and letters from promi
nent alumni of the university all ovr the
country touching on the matter were re
ceived and considered. It Is believed thnt
tlio answer to Yale Is ) In every sense a fair
proposition. It is felt to \ > o no mote than
fair that Cornell should name tlio course
for the race of 1S99 If It allows \ale to
name the course for lS9ii. , It can be stated
authoritatively that thtf answer Just sent
to Yale la Cornell's ultimatum on the rowIng -
Ing question , and that nothing will move
the athletic council from the position it
has taken. With most of the students it
Is a matter of Indifference whether ale
accepts Cornell's proposition or not. Coi-
nelllans believe tlielr crew can defeat lale
quite as handily as It did last year nt
I'oiiKhkeepsle. If Yale does not accept the
conditions , Cornell will promptly take steps
toward forming an Intercollegiate regatta
among the crews of Harvard. Pennsylvania.

Trevor C. D Klncald , tutor otlt' ' labora
tory assistant In the Department of Ulologr
of the University of Washington , recently
sent to T. I ) , A. Cockerel ! of Seattle. Wash. ,
< ho greatest authority on bees In America ,
about 1,300 specimens of bees collected in
Washington during the last four jears. Mr.
Cockcrcll became much Interested In the
collection , end at once began to vvorlt on It.
He found many new species , some of which
ho has dcBcrlbed In scientific Journals Re
cently Mr. Klucald has received four pamph
lets on now species of bees dcsrcr d bjMr. .
Cockcrcll In the Annals nnd Magazine of
Natural Hlstorjof London , nnd n number
of other pamphlets and papers published bj *
the same authority In this country One
of these papers contains descriptions of bees
collected by Mr. Klncnld. There are tvventj'-
sevcn species here described , of which sev
enteen nro new to science. Other descrip
tions are to follow , nnd altogether there nro
already found n < otal of forty-one new spe
cies that Mr. Klncald has discovered. Prof.
Cockcrcll has attested his appreciation of
Mr. Klncnld's work by naming several of
these now species in his honor. The dis
covery of ro many new species Is very rarely
reported from one region. In the one genus
of osmlac there nro twenty-two species now
recorded from Washington , largely through
the efforts of Mr. Klncaid ; nnd he already
has enough more now nnos to make the list
tor Washlng-tora exceed that of any othefl
state. Only Colorado has a larger number
now than Washington.
Of this genus osmlao , sijs the Scnttlo
Poat-Intclllget'ccr , Prof. Cockcrcll has sent
to Mr. KineaUl , among other pamphlets and
papers , a manuscript key , by which any
specimen of the genus may bo Identified nnd
new ones detcimlncd , and which wilt aid
In the preparation of HKo kcjs for other
genera when the necessary literature Is ob
tained.
One curious species found by Mr. Klncaid
Is described by Prof. Cockcrell In the Cana
dlan Entomologist for December , 1S07 The
name Is halictoidcs campjiiulac , from the
fact that Mr. Klncald found It only on a
little halrbcll ( campanula ) .
The geographical distribution of these
forms Is being worked tip , In which some
of the students of the university help during
vacations. Last summer Mr W. M. Karsh-
ncr made a good collection at Oray'j haibor ,
and Mt. W. R. Coffman collected about 500
sp ° cles at Cl'challs. The latter was the stu
dent who found last May n specimen of
Bclan glossus , that Interesting form of
animal llfo between the vertebrates nnd the
Invertebrates ; a little later the Columbian
unlvors > Ity expedition found other speci
mens and published the fact as a great dls-
covcrj- .
The new species Andrcna kincaldil wnsi
first found by Mr. Klncald at Olympla , and
later at Seattle. Last summer , when on
his way to the Pryblloft Islands , Ml. Km-
cald sp ° nt a little tlmo In collecting nt Port
Townscml. where ho found another speci
men of this species. Then when ho returned
last Jail ho learned that Mr. Coffman had
found the same species at Chehalls.
A supplemental catalogue of the Univer
sity of Washington Is now In the hands of
the s.ato printer , and will be read/ for dis
tribution In a few dajs. The publication
of this was necessitated by the ntrntious
requests from all parts of the st.ro , nnd
elsewhere for catalogues of the university ,
the supply of which nas exhausted .some
tlmo ago. TlicsJ inquiries are for the mo t
part from good soutccs , nnd Indicate a grow
ing Interest In the
university. The new
supplement will contain all the general 111-
lonnation aoout tnc university needed bj a
prospective student. It Is malnlv a reprint
of parts of the catalogue. No changes liavt-
been made in the requirements for entrance
and graduation.
It does not seem sufficiently undcrsiood
that the university has pro/lded to meet
the requirements of students frm two-
year and thrce-jear high schools. This H
done by offering certain "zeio ou.-ees , "
which embiaco the kind of work that such
students need to fill out their preparation
for the university. This work must bo
taken without credit , for ono or two jeurs.
according as the students Is from a three-
j'eor or a two-year high school.
