"ALIEN Jacks SYMPATHY WITH

The alien may possess greater intelll-
gence and greater strength, but he lacks
the sympathy for, and the Identification
with. the people. We have only TO recall
the grievances enumerated in the Deca-
ration of independence to learn how an
ocean may dilute justice and how the
cry of the oppressed can be silenced by
distance. And vet the inhabitants of
the colonies were the descendants of
Englishmen-hloo of their blood, and
bone of their bone. Shall we be more

us. and differing from us in color, race
and tongue. than the English were of
their own offspring
Modest Jefferson He had been Gov

A NORTH WIND
 FOR DUCK SHOOTING

The heavy north wind which blew up on Thursday night drove thousands of wild ducks which were 'roosting" on the bay to shelter in the marshes.
 A dispatch which was received by the sporting editor yesterday from Ignacio stated that there were large numbers of ducks. principally widgeon and sprig. fly ing over Black Point and that considera- ble shooting was heard on the Sonoma marshes. If the blow keeps up until to- morrow the sportsmen who will be on the mud flats early in the morning should make good bags.
 Eight of the leading lights of the Mira monte Gun Club left this city yesterday for the Sonoma marshes. The Mira S clubhouse is within easy distance of Bur dell station. Experienced hunters say that owing to the bad state of the water this year in the vicinity of Tubbs Island the canvasback, redhead and sprig are conspicuous by their absence. There are others who believe that night shooting is the cause of the scarcity of broadbills.
 Duckshooting on the Alviso marshes is as the blow that visited this city yester- day would improve the sport vastly.
 The Black Jack Gun Club returned from it's preserves near Antioch last Sunday posed principally of widgeon, which are very plentiful this year. If the norther holds good until Sunday it's good wager that the members of the B. J. G. c. will return with anywhere from 200 to 800 birds, as game is very plentiful on Sher- man Island this season.
 Al Cumming and party anticipate a big shoot at Byron tomorrow. Cumming shiped up 1000 cartridges yesterday and he expects that they will speak for them selves.
 Martinez Chick, a well-known trap shooter, has been shipping large quanti- ties of quail to the markets of this city from San Diego

Unless the dogs that have been entered for the big stake-the run down of which will be held to-day at Ingleside Park-are in the pink of condition there may be some deaths among the long tails regis tered before the sun sets.
 All coursing men and those also who take an interest in the pastime from sporting point of view are well aware of the fact that whenever a cold sharp wind from the north is on tap the hares run like demons and seemingly take a delight in teasing their pursuers by giving them two or three mile spin before they de- eide upon making their escape.
 This is Jack rabbit weather, and as long as the wind remains in the north and the grass is short the owners of good dogs should be careful that their charges are fit to enter into hard and punishing contests before they are returned to their kennels on the final day of the meeting
 The dogs that will miss catching a win ming color in the run down need have no fear of danger resulting from grueling courses, but the ones who will remain in and who must enter the slips many times on the last day of the meet will need close watching, as long and heavy especially to those whose recuperatIon is slow.

On the ground floor is the club room, large porch look ing west and north, and lockers and dressing rooms for men. On the upper floor are lockers and dressing room for ladies, bath rooms and rooms for the care-takers and professionals. The whole house is cheerful and well lighted.
 Next Saturday the Oakland golf team will come to this city and will play against the San Francisco team on the Presidio links. Inasmuch as the team playing on its own links always has an advantage, 1t is intended to add the re- suits of the two days play together and do the same at the two matches to be played next year. If each team should played off at either Burlingame or on the links of the San Rafael Golf Club.
 Next Saturday, on the Oakland links, there will be a match for the ladies' cup trophy which must be won three times to become the property of the winner It has already been played for twice. in June and September.
 The ladies' driving competition and la- dies foursomes, g holes, with handicap. that were to have been held yesterday morning on the Presidio links, did not take place. A violent northeasterly wind swept the course and rendered driving or any department of golfing difficult and disagreeable The foursomes and driving competition will be held on Tuesday morning, December 13.

Whn the local representatives to the national organization attended the meeting in New York last summer they promised that nothing would be left undone to insure the next meetings success.

Ayers had pleasant airing on the river near Antioch last Sunday. They put in the day riding in a steam launch and prospecting for snipeshooting grounds. The Doc" bagged several mudhens on the sit.
 John Bourdette, the celebrated goose exterminator is at present looking for long-distance duckshooting in the vicinity of Delano. The honorable gen. tleman is provided with four shotguns and Mauser rifle.
 Last Sunday two hunters from Oakland were arrested on San Pablo marsh. on complaint sworn to by Antone Peters. The complaint charged George Albertson and James Rogers with trespass. The men were taken before Judge Wilcox, and having pleaded guilty to the charge were fined S20. The San Pablo Shooting Club will assist Antone Peters in arresting and convicting any hunters caught shooting on the San Pablo marshes.
 Captain c. A. McNeill of the launch Norwood has taken several parties of sportsmen up Sonoma and Suisun creeks lately, some good bags of ducks being made Charley is a fixture at Tiburon, and seems to be mascot when it comes to securing game. His launch is well known to all Nimrods.
 W. J. Surryhyne of Fort Bragg, Mendo- cino County, says the Ten-Mile River opened up Thursday night. A party of six went up Friday morning and returned in the evening with nineteen large salmon and five small ones. They were caught trolling. He also says that 1t looks as if there was going to be a big run of fish this year.

TAKEN TO A HIGHER COURT.
John Bulger Arrested for Assault to Murder on a Grand Jury
 Indictment.

John Bulger, carpenter in the Mission, was arrested yesterday afternoon on warrant following an indictment of the Grand Jury charging him with an as sault with intent to commit murder. He was locked up in the City Prison.
 The assault was committed about three months ago upon Policeman c. M. Barnes at Fourteenth and Mission streets. Barnes was seriously injured and was treated at St. Mary's Hospital. Bulger and another young man, Walter Nagle, were arrested and charged with the assault. The cases were assigned to Judge Lows court, and after numerous delays several witnesses were examined and their evidence pointed to Bulger as the man who struck the po- liceman down.
 Since then the cases have been continued from time to time at the request of the defense without any apparent reason, and Assistant District Attorney Dunne, who was specially engaged to watch the cases on behalf of the policeman, became weary of the continued postponements and laid the matter before the Grand Jury, 90 as to take it out of the Police Court.
