every one, and that action Will not be

Cieverness Shown in Pre-.
pairing Missives.
Letters From All Parts of the
Group-Prizes Go to a Pair OF
Honolulu Youngsters,

The many letters which the children
wrote 10 Santa Claus and dropped in
the box at Wall, Nichols Company's
store were opened yesterday afternoon.
L. D. Timmons of the Bulletin and
representative of the Advertiser otiici-
ated as judges.
The letters were not confined TO Ho-
nolulu alone but came from all parts of
the Islands, although the majority were
from this city. Two prizes were
awarded, one for boys and one for
girls. In the estimation of the judges,
Harold Gears letter to Santa Claus
was by far the most original submit
ted by the boys More difficulty was
experienced in deciding upon the let
siderable discussion the choice was
finally sifted down to between two
letters, those of Muriel Gibson and
Claire Williams, Muriel Gibson's ap
peared to be the more quaint and
unique of the two. 1t was decided to
award the prize to her and to give
| Claire Williams honorable mention.
| Special messenger was at once sent
| to Santa Claus with the result of the
deliberations and he was asked to
had promised.
The successful letters are printed
| below:

NEW HAVENER IN MEXICO,

His Narrow Escape from Serious Injury
 On a Train Which Was Ditched-An Im-
 portant Business Mission.
 Advices received by friends in this city from ex-Lieutenant Charles E. Grannis of the New Haven Grays, who is in Mexico, give the information that Lieutenant Granniss had a narrow es- cape from being badly injured in rail- way accident in Mexico recently. In his letter he says: q had a somewhat exciting experience on railroad train in the northern part of Mexico a few days ago. It certainly was not pleas ant The entire train was dumped in the ditch, landing in four feet of water. The accident occurred just after mid night when we were in bed and We were running thirty-flve miles an hour. The wreck was caused by running into washout. No one was killed. We were without relief or food for thirty hours. It was ten days before we received our trunks and then we found their con- tents mixed with water and mud"
 Lieutenant Granniss was on busi- ness trip in Mexico, his object being to establish steamship connection between Mexico and the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad, of which company he is a director, and in which quite a number of New Haveners are finan- cially interested After concluding his business in the City of Mexico he was to continue his trip to Tampico, Vera Cruz and also down the 1sthmus of Tehuantepec to Coatzacoalcos and

 The Financial and Weekly Herald of the City of Mexico devotes a column and a half to an interview with MT. Granniss and Hon. J. D. Half, who is the legal representative of the railroad company in question, and a portion of the article is as follows
 "On the register of the Hotel Sanz are the names of Hon. J. D. Half and c. E. Granniss. These gentlemen are here on a very important mission, which is nothing less than the establishment of steamship line between Port Ar thur, on the Mexican Gulf, and one of the two Mexican ports, Vera Cruz or Tampico, or both. They have full power of attorney to act as they see fit in their arrangements with the gov- ernment and the traffic mercantile in terests of this country.
 MT. Half said yesterday that there was a strong company back of them and that this company proposed to run line of steamships between Port Ar thur and New York and also line to Liverpool. This company was of the opinion that there was plenty of in ducement for the establishment of a line of boats on the Gulf. However, they were acquainted with the Ameri- can side of the question only. It was to find out how matters were here that they had been sent to Mexico. It was very probable that they would spend a month here in Investigating the possi- bilities of the export trade from this country to the United States. As to what the result would be he could not say just now.
 The proposed line of steamers will, if established, afford improved connec- tions between Mexico and Kansas City It will also gather up the products of the Mexican gulf ports and the coun- try along the line of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railway, distance of 7S7 miles. This, with the distance from Port Arthur to Tampico, 600 miles, would make distance of close upon 1,4o0 miles from Kansas City to Tam pico by way of the proposed route."
