DISABLED LAUNCH rowED IN

Broken Propeller After Day and
Nioht on Ocean
SpeoiaI 10 Tho IIeraId.

Special TO Tho Herald.
SAN DIEGO. Dec. 6.-The power
launch J. G. Elliott from San Pedro for
San Diego was towed into pors this
evening by the launch Mckinley, which
left last night at midnight TO find her.
The Elliott lost her propeller when
about twelve miles Off the coast and
having but slight sail area, she was
making little progress.
Capt. Napier sent a man ashore at
Oceanslde and reported his troubles TO
this city. The Mckinley started out
but kept too close inshore, and so passed
the Elliott in the night.
This forenoon, however, she doubled
back, keeping further out at sea, and
picked up the disabled launch this af-
ternoon.
This morning Capt. Napier not hav-
ing seen anything of the Mckinley
sent another boat ashore with Cleve
Hiler. his engineer, to make second
report. Hiler landed at Del Mar, in
stead Of La Jolla, and for time there
was some worry about him. but late
this evening he arrived on the Santa
Fe. having left his boat on the beach
at Del Mar. The Elliott will have TO
remain here for several days, as o new
propeller win have to he secured by ex-
press from San Francisco.

lRlSHMEN DEMAND A
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Y
NATIONAL CONVENTION OPENS
AT DUBLIN
John Redmond Is optomistic and Con-
graduates Delegates on Death Of
Antl-Home Rule Government.
Condemn Present System
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
DUBLIN, Dec. 6.-The Irish national
convention was opened at the Mansion
house this morning under the presi-
dency of John Redmond. There was a
good gathering of members of parlia-
ment and delegates from all parts of
the country.
Neither O'Brien, nor Timothy n.
Healy was present, vut their absence
did not seem to affect the cheerful
ness of Redmond, as he congratulated
the convention on the death of the
Unionist anti-home rule government,
which he attributed to the blows of
the Irish representatives in parlia-
ment. Continuing, Mr.. Redmond paint
ed the prospects of the Irish in roseate
hues and said the realization of their
hopes depended almost entirely on
themselves.
The lord mayor moved a home rule
resolution condemning the present sys-
tenn of governing Ireland, and con-
cluded:
I'VE solemnly assert that no new
system of government in Ireland will
be accepted as satisfactory except leg
isaltive assembly freely elected and
representative of the people with power
to make laws for Ireland, and an exec
utive government responsible to that
assembly, and this convention declares
that the Irish national party cannot
enter into an alliance with or give per-
manent support to any English party
or government which does not make
the question of granting such an as
sembly and executive to Ireland the
cardinal point of its program"
The resolution was carried by accla-
| nation.
The convention also passed a resolu-
ton condemning the proposed confer
ence of the supporters of Lord Dunraven,
Thomas w. Russell Timothy M. Healy
and John Dillon, on the ground that 1t
would be interpreted as an abandon
ment of the claim for home rule.
The convention will continue tomor-
row, but there is no evidence that the
incoming liberal government can expect
more support from the Nationalist IN
the next parliament than the UnioHists
have received, unless Sir Henry Camp
bell -Bannerrnan plumps for hume rule.
The directions to the leaders and the
resolutions passed at today's session
mean continued opposition to the gov
ernment until absolute home rule has
been granted to Ireland.

TO DISTRIBUTE Immigrants
Movement on Foot to Land
Foreigners at Various
Ports
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.--The statement
that over a million immigrants have
come to the United States during the
past year and that the south and west,
the sections of the country which
needed and wished for these new citi-
zens, did not get them, was made to-
day by Frank P. Sargent, United
States commissioner general of immi-
grafton in a speech before the National
civic federation meeting. Mr.. Sargent
proposed that the United States here
after take steps to distribute imini-
grants according to the needs Of the
country.
II have just received few figures"
he said, Showing where this immi-
grafton goes to. OF the 1,026, ,401 immi-
grants who arrived last year, New York
received 315.5t1; Pennsylvania 2tO,35S,
and Ohio 49,S51 Six states of the union
received 77774S or 76 per cent of the
whole, which gives the gentlemen from
these states some idea of how popular
those states are abroad, and how rap
idly they gained last year"
Mr.. Sargent recommended that in
stead of having the majority of foreign
immigrants received at the port of New
York as at present. efforts should be
made to have them enter at other
ports.
Samuel Gompers spoke In fovar Of
restricting immigration, saying that
the overwhelming number of foreigners
is a detriment to American working
men.

a serious accident to a Northern Pacific
passenger train near Kalama. Wash,
last Sunday night. Vincent McKinner
discovered two horses firmly caught in
q treStle across the Kalma river.
Knowing that a passenger train and
a freight were both due to cross the

to Kalama, distance of nearly five
miles, in time to notify the engineer Of
the freight. Warning was sent to the
passenger train, which was fortunately
behind time, and a section gang went TO
the bridge and removed the imprisoned
animals. The boys action will be
brought to the attention of officials of
the company.

Be in Trouble off
Oceanslde
BY Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Dec. 6.-Word was
received at midnight last night that
the excursion launch known as the
steamer j. c. Elliott of San Pedro was
disabled twelve miles off Oceanside.
Captain Rhodimer of the launch Nc
Kinley was notified of the condition
Of the Elliott and Immediately put to
sea in search OF the vessel
The destination Of the vessel Is not

The j. c. Elliott is quite a large boat
for an excursion launch, being nearly
sixty feet long and fully equipped
with cabins for long trips with pas
sengers. San Pedro Is her home port,
but she has been operated for some
time off Long Beach. At one time she
carried passengers between San Pedro
and San Francisco.
