left Chicago today for that place. The
attendants upon the international conven-
ton will comprise over 400 delegates, rep
resenting every country throughout the
civilized world. Mrs. Myhrman Is a prom
inent member of the organization and has
made her influence felt at past conven-
tions by securing the establishment OF
separate grand lodges for the Scandina-
Wan members Of the order in Minnesota
and Massachusetts, and II Is her intention
at the coming gathering TO endeavor TO
secure a similar concession for the Scan
dinavians of Illinois. Although the policy
of dividing the order in this manner has
been strenuously opposed 1t is conceded
that the organization in the states named
has been more prosperous since the rec
ognition of the Scandinavian element, and
IL is probable that Mrs. Myhrman will
prevail in the present instance.

water down the valley THURSDAY after
noon which carried devastation in its
train. Stock was drowned. houses wreck
ed, bridges washed out and orchards
ruined. The loss is roughly estimated at
100000. The pleasant little valley was a
continuous orchard and garden for Is
miles above the town. The Spokesman
Review correspondent has just returned
from trip four miles up the valley, and
from persons on the road it was learned
that the flood extended for at least three
miles beyond that, and how much further
is unknown.
SO far as reported no lives were lost
but considerable stock persisted. The
houses of Robert Campbell and John Dill
were wrecked. and John Miller's house
was carried 300 feet from its foundations.
Many other places were more or less dam
aged. Between Asotin and a point four
miles up the creek all the bridges, five in
number were washed out Two of these
belonged TO the town and three to the
county. The loss in this particular is
about $500. II is thought that other
bridges were washed out further up the
stream.
But the chief loss was in the destruc-
tion of orchards and gardens. The tor
rent tore through these with great fury.

GUNBOATS CHASE It
FRUIT STEAMER FIRED UPON BY
SPANISH CRUISERS.
Held Up of Cape Mny on the Way to
Jamaica, but CIeverIy
Escaped.

Philadelphia, May 21.-After being
chased twice by Spanish gunboats and
passing through a perfect storm OF shots
which spIashed in the water across the
vessels bow, the fruit steamer Ethelred
passed through the exciting ordeal I'M
scathed, ard has arrived at this port,

Jamaica.

was the intention of Captain Hart to ac-
company her, but he was arrested as he
was about to step on the gangplank 10
20 aboard. AS 1t was. his invalid daugh-
ter was a passenger. 1t is supposed that
agents of the Spanish government in
city has notified the Spanish authorities
at Havana that Hart would be on the
vessel, hence the effort to hold up the
Ethelred in Cuban waters.
The first encounter with the Spanish
cruisers occurred off Cape May on the
trip down. Just after dusk. on Sunday
evening May 16, a gunboat without any
lights, shot out from under the Maysi
capes, and crowding on all steam, steer
ed directly for the fruit vessel. After
steaming for an hour without gaining
an inch the gunboat turned searchlight
on the other vessel. All steam was crowd
ed on the Ethelred, which was beginning
to show a clean pair of heels to the
Spaniard, when cloud of smoke belched
from the cruisers side, and a second later
"a solid shot cut the water half mile
ahead of her bows. Then came second
and third shot, each nearer than the 9TH
ers. Captain Israel kept on his course.
and after an hours chase the Spaniard
dropped from the race.
The second chase happened last Thurs
day in the exact spot the attempt to hold
up the vessel occurred. Just as the Eth
elred rounded Cape Maysi a big Spanish
gunboat of the newest type started from
the cape and gave chase to the Ethelred.
For two hours the chase was kept up,
enlivened now and then by solid shot
throwing up a sheet of white spray just
ahead of the swift vessels bows. 1t be-
gan to hook as If the Spaniard meant to
chase the Ethelred clear TO the Delaware
capes, when another steamer was sighted,
and the gunboat sheered off and gave
vigorous chase to the newly discovered
steamer.
