Herman Muhr of Omaha loft Portland,
Ore., on the steamer , Portland ' oa April
St, to Join his brothers who are In busi
ness at Noma City. The. vessel wa due
at Nome City on May 9. but on May ( at
Dutch harbor was caught in th lc. and
drifted further north than ever reached by
a passenger steamer. After nearly two
months' delay, the passenger were landed
aafely at Nome. Mr. Muhr bas written
th. following letter to hi mother, which
I really a diary of that eventful trip:
STEAMSIUJ? PORTLAND, BERING SEA
(rt Pt..-Lawrence Ulend), May 8, 1W2.
liy D Mother: My last letter was
mailed at Vnalaeka on th. 8th. and It la
poasibl. that this will reach you first, as
w. remained but a short time from 6 a.
m. till C p. m. I am glad that our stay
was no longer, ss It is a very uninteresting
place. W. left with a small vessel la tow

STeTyc-ce foeis well, particularly ths pa
tlenia, and the tables are al occupied at
meal ttynr. At Vnalaaka I attended mass
at tb. (jreek churctt and was particularly
Impressed by the singing of th cbolr of
Indian boys. I took a bath there, not at
the church, but In the laundry of th steam
h!p company, which is thoroughly equipped
with clean enameled tubs and all conven
ience. The air was kseo and bracing, the
wind blowing dawn from ths snow-rovered
bills.
Lata yesterday wa met th. first Ice twu
days out from I'nalaski. s
The captain la exceedingly careful and
the enplne Is stopped as soon as It be
come too dark to see, ss be fears to run
luto heaty ice, bich might Injure the
propellor. However, the days ar. getting
lunger; at 10 30 p. m. light la still vlnlble
In ths sky, and ws can resum our journey
at a. m. with perfect safety. We have
encountered lc. In considerable quantltlea
today, tut It la soft and broken and offers
little resistance. Everything seems favor-
able now, and It Is more than likely that
we sa.il' reach Nome tomorrow. As
isom. my aiay lesv. soon after our
arrival, I shall add but a line or two of
au'-a eveata as may b. of Interest. The
kuata thing Is that ycu hear from me sad
relievs any aoiltty that you may feel as
to our safety.
May 10 We did not get to Nome after
all. We encountered more Ice Immense

May 22 We lay at anchor until ( p. m.
Suddenly there wa. a terrible commotion
In the lee all about the steamer, causing
considerable alarm. W. were la great

which would bav been a calamity.
May tt The sun tame out today the first

In the lc. we were on the move.

June t A On. day. This morning wa
found ourselves to tha narth of Cap. York
and almost opposite Cap. Prlnc. of Wales.
A atrocg bead wind kept u her.
A mirage gave ua considerable amuse
ment today, playing its prank with th.
landacap of tha Dlomed. Islands and
showing us Nome City, under ateam
masts down, moving along th. aky. It
waa interesting and caused soma merri
ment. Wa entered th. Arctic ocean.
Jun. 4 W. drifted northwest, paat Cap.

Dlomed. islands, that ebaln which con

which th. captain believe. to be th.
United State, revenue cutter Thetis. The
mirage again broke tha monotony .with
Its pranks on landscape and dtatant
steamers. I sat up to sea the sun set and
rise, from 11:20 p. fj. to nearly 18 p. m.
I waa well repaid for th trouble. ' I
never aaw anything 'grander In my life.
Th. cloud seemed ablaze, while lights and
shadow flitted through them tn broad
hafts of color of Indescribable beauty. I
was fascinated by tha grandsur. '
Jun. 4 W. mad. an .Sort to reach tha
other aid. of th. world, East cape. It la

all beginning to fear that the arrival In

W. ar. held In th. unrelaxing grip of tha
Ice. W. have plenty to eat and nothing
to worry or trouble us. Ws must b.

amusement of every ona on deck. Of course
I was obliged to go below for a complete
change.
June 23 Fine weather. Tha ice la solid
from tha freeze ot two daya ago, and, being
covered with anow, presents an unbroken
field in all directions as far a tha eye
can reach. The captain reports Jeannle
visible from the crow'a nast.
June 23 Clear day. I took a soap at our
spring on the Ice, with Portland for . a
background A Bounding made here showed
a depth of 168 feet. Tha toe malt very
alowly In the sharp norther which 1 blow

June 25 Fine weather and much warmer.
We are further north than any passenger
vessel ha aver been, 69 degree 10 minutes
north,' 169 degrees t minutes west. We
pumped more water today. Jeannle. which
has always been to the south, has changed
It position today. We are out of lard, ao
no more pleat Cape Llsburna was In sight
all day.
June IS Mild and clear. Nothing to be
seen ot Jeannle. Wa made a atart at 10 a.
m. and rammed our way through the Ice.
June 37 We were up all night, as
Jeannle was just ahead ot us, and at 1
a. m. we were close together. We made
fast and then went to meet tha passenger
ot Jesnnle on the ice. Th. pleasure
was great. Calls were exchanged. I bought
the latest papers (April 30 and May 1). At
4:40 a. a. the algnal waa- glvea and aooa
we were on the way, Jeannle follow
ing In our wajta. At noon wa enoountered
great maaaea of piled up ice, which It waa
Impossible to break, so we anchored with
Jeannle a mile away. The meeting with
Jeannle produced several severe case of
"Kattdnjammer." I got a snap shot of
Jeannle. Today a young man took a plunge
tn tha Arctic ocean rather a foolhardy
trick! Jeannle waa abort of flour, ao we
helped It out. ,
Jun Si "in. Mad good headway. Thla
evening we mad. fast to the same block
cf Ice with Jeannle. 1 went over there.
We ar. much better provided tor than they
are la every particular except coal. They
have ao tuuen, but say they cannot spare
ts any, as thty require It tJ maintain their
poaltton in th. water. We could use it to
such good advantage.
June 29 We got an early start thla
morning,, at I o'clock. Portland was
battling nobly and was alowly and with
difficulty overcoming the resistance. We
made barely a mile per hour. Later wa
got lato tbia ice and were making good
headway. Tha meeting with Jeannle
hee had a stimulating effect and the
progress made today encooraged every one.
The ladlre appeared la ravishing costumes
on deck and there was merriment every
where. We anchored at :30 p. m.

I would be the real mayor every minute of

CASE GOES DIRECT TO SUPREME COURT
Mr. Coaaell la Confident that Co-art
Judsrntanta Iw the Moore an A
Kssatiy Case. WlU Be
Agrala Affltiaed.
City Attorney ConneU baa begun to col
lect his data for tha brief and petition In
the fire and police commission case, and, be
ays, tha more thoroughly he enter Into
previous ruling of the supreme court in
the matter the more sanguine he la of suc
cess. ' Th documents will be complete by
Wednesday of next week and will be filed
tn tha auprame court. "The ca would
get there anyway eventually," aatd he, "and
wa might as - well Bio 'it there to begin
with." .
Here 1 a passage that will be cited In
the brief. It te from Judge Freeman In
hla work on Judgments:
If a court can bandy Ita judgments about
from one party to the other, and change ita
conclusions a freely and aa capriciously as
a chameleon may change ita hues, then
litigation might become mora intolerable
(ban the wrongs, it la Intended to redress.
"The questions Involved In tha proposed
quo warranto case ara not ao much ques
tions cf law," said Mr. ConneU. "aa they are
questions of tha finality ot tha sound judg
ment of courts as between parties liti
gant. A judge hag th clear right to change
his vlewe ot tha law when he believes hla
former views to have been - erroneous, but
no Judge or court has the right, moral cr
legal, to overturn or - destroy judgments
which have become final.
"The original quo .warranto ease, known
as the Moore case, was decided while
Judge Harrison waa on tha bench, and he
wrote tha opinion ot the court In favor ot
local self-government In accordance with
my contention. Upon tha election of Judge
Holcomb as tha successor of Harrison Gov.
ernor Poynter, believing that the court as
reorganized would overrule the law as de
clared by Judge Harrlaon In the Vtooras
case, regarding the rights ot locsl self-government,
appointed W. J. Broatch, Dr. J. H.
Peabedy, Harry C. Miller and J. J. O'Connor
a members of the fire and police board.
Cite K.ely Case.
Immediately Afterward, for the purpose ot
ousting Mr. Kennedy and the other ap
pointees of the mayor and council, the at
torney guneral commenced a second pro
ceeding in tha nature of quo warranto, now
generally known as ths Keanedy caae. Aa a
result ot th commencement of thl action
ths respective claims of the appointees ot
the governor and of the mayor and council
were for the second time presented to th
supreme court for determination. In thl
second action Mr. Kennedy and hi asse
clates set up a their chief defense the plea
that the judgment entered la favor ot the
appointee of th mayor and eouncll ta the
Moore eaa settled all controversy between
th. partl.s, and that such judgment was
final and re adjudicate, without reference
to whether the law, as declared la the
Mocree case, wa right or wrong.
"Thl plea waa fully presented by brief
et counsel, and was decided at length In a
very able and pointed opinion by Judge Sul
livan, and thereupon a second Judgment wa
enured la favor, at be, appointee ot the
mayor and coundl a asalust the appointees

Mi and exhaustive eotnlons. thst. veeard

tered In the Moore case was conclusive and

can ascertain from th record, I neither

And, without reference io whether their
