The revenue officers have seized
about 10000 cigars in the Northwest
this week, which have counterfeit
revenue stamps. A big gang of coun-
terfeiters located in Pennsylvania,
which is evidently responsible for the
stamps, as well as some bad money,
has also been discovered and captured.

only by hard work of the firemen.

City Of Kingston Sunk.

Steamer City OF Kingston was run
down and sunk at 20 o'clock Sunday
morning by the Oriental liner Glenogle
between Tacoma and Browns Point.
The Kingston's passengers and crew
were all saved.
The Kingston's hull was cut in two
by the force of the collision, just abaft
the boilers. 1t filled and sank almost
Immediately, leaving the upper works
floating in two pieces on the water.
The imperiled passengers and the crew
chung to the upper works until rescued
by boats from the Kingston, Glenogle,
James Kerr and Castor.
The Northern Pacific, owning the
Kingston, claims to have traced every
passenger aboard the Kingston and
has found that no one was lost. The
crew was mustered on the deck of the
Glenogle and found to be complete.
The escape of many of the passengers
and the crew was little short of mir
acle.
According to statements of eye wit
nesses there were few officers of the
Inflated steamer on deck and the pas
sengers, together with most of the
crew were wrapped in slumber. They
were awakened by the signals of the
two boats, followed by the awful crash
and later the distress signals sounding
from both vessels.
The Glenogle suffered. from the col
lision, piece of the Kingston s wooden
work piercing the iron shielding of the
big liner on both sides of the bow be-
low the water line. A second hole
several feet in length and eight inches
wide was made on the starboard side
OF the bow. The railing was torn.
The Glenogle took water rapidly and
in spite of the fact that as soon as she
was tied up she began to discharge the
cargo OF -four in the lower hold, she
kept on filling. 1t will be necessary
to dock the steamship.
The Kingston's value is placed at
$40, 600, and the Glenogle has been
libelled for that amount and is in
charge of deputy marshal. It is
claimed that the morning was foggy
and the Kingston's pilot got "rattled''
and tailed to make the right move at
the critical time.

Washington, January 1a-Hon. Nelson
Dingley of Maine, leader of the Republi-
can side ON the floor of tho House Of
Representatives and representing the
second congressional district Of Maine In
that body, died here tonight at half past
ten OF heart failure resulting from eI.
treme weakness due to double pneumonia.
He was unconscious during most Of the
day and death came quietly without con-
seriousness being regained. There were
present at the time Mrs. Dingley, Miss
Edith Dingley. Messrs h N. and A. N.
Dingley, sons Of the deceased. Mrs.
James @. Hooe, an intimate friend of
the family. DIR. Deale, one of the physi-
clans who has been attending him, and
two nurses. To within few hours before
his death. the family firmly believed, as
they have throughout his illness, that
Mr.. Dingley would recover and It was
only when 1t became apparent that he
was dying that they gathered at his
bedside.
While the past few days have given
great hope of recovery, the progress of the
disease had made the patient dangerously
weak and had seriously affected his heart.
Late last night and again this morning,
Mr.. Dingley had a bad sinking spell,
from which he slightly rallied. There
were further evidences of heart failure
as the day progressed and the strongest
stimulants were administered but with
out effect
He failed pore eptibly during the after
noon and as night came on hope was
abandoned. Mrs. Dingley is very much
prostrated by her husbands death and is
now under the care Of ply siciau.
There were many genuine and heartfelt
expressions of sympathy when 1t became
known that the Maine congressman was
dead. All during his illness which he
struggled against SO vigorously, there has
been constant inquiries at the hotel at
which he resided, as to his condition.
The Hamilton house, where Mr.. Dingley
resided has been the resort for a number
Of years for most of the congressional
contingent from Maine, and 1t was here
that MI. Dingley spent all the past six
teen years Of his life when his congress
sional duties called him to Washington
He occupied rooms on the second floor
and had with him his wife and daughter,
the sons being here but little.

realizing his serious illness he made ar
rangements to have the occasion of the
address postponed until the Goth of Janu-
ary.
In speaking of Mr.. Dipgiey's death to-
night, Senator Hale said: ''In the pres
emit condition Of public affairs Governor
Dingley's death is . very great national
loss. In all questions relating to finances,
to the revenues of the country, and to the
ad justmenu of great fiscal questions. Mr..
Dinglsy was above all others an author
ity. 1t is difficult to say who can take
his place. H He had tho confidence Of his
associates In the House, the confidence Of
the Senate, the confidence of the Presi-
dent and the confidence of the entire
country. Maine will especially lament
him. Early:.and late he had devoted him
self to the interests of the state and with
out distinction of party and her people
believed in his fidelity, patriotism and
wisdom.
Speaker Reed when informed of Mr.
Dingley's death said: "Gov. Dingley's
loss win be deeply felt. l have never
known greater solicitude for an man
than that manifested for him by all the
members OF the House during his siok
ness. This homage, so universal, was
worthily bestowed. The Governor had
steadily grown in the esteem, respect and
confidence of the House and of the coun-
try. and when his career closed, he occu-
pied position OF most commanding
character.
"His success was due TO laborious
lifetime, devoted TO all the duties to
which he was called. OF every subject
which he touched he was easily the mas
ter, both as to principle and detail. When
he spoke we all listened, not because he
had the graces of oratory, but because we
were sure that the subject would be fully
and carefully stated and in such a way
that understanding would follow hearing.
