CHRISTMAS MAIL
FOR COAST TODAY

One of the best Christmas gifts pre-
sented to the Honolulu public this sea-
son is that of President Kennedy of
the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company, in the services of the steam
er Likelike to carry Honolulu s vast
Christmas mail for the mainland from
this city to Kaanapah to be placed
aboard the American-Hawaiian freight
er Arizonan for transportation direct
to San Francisco.
The steamer Likelike leaves Homo
lulu at ) clock this afternoon, taking
the accumulated registered, first-class,
and package mail, amount
ing to nearly FIVE tons.
Had it not been for the generous
offer of Mr.. Kennedy, the POstoffice au-
thorities would have been able to send
to the Arizonan only the letter mail,
leaving the Christmas packages to go
by the Nippon Maru on December Is,
which would give barely time for them
to reach San Francisco by Christmas
Day.
AS the Arizonan leaves Kaanapai on
Sunday afternoon, she will arrive IN
San Francisco about december Il,
which will give almost time enough for
presents to be delivered in New York
IN Christmas Day.
Postmaster Pratt and Mr.. Carr of
he Railway Mail Service had planned
20 send only letter mail to the Ari-
.onan per the Claudine, which sailed
It ) o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
nail TRANSFORMATION facilities from La
laina to Kaanapali were inadequate to
lttempt sending the package mail
.cross the island. Therefore, the gen
rous offer of President Kennedy of the /!
nter-Island company to carry Uncle |
;am s mail by a special steamer to |
direct, and put it all aboard
he Arizonan. was most welcome. !
Through this offer, all of Honolulu s
christmas presents will arrive in main
and households just at the right time.

According to the ruling of the Post
office Department. Hawaii is not part
of the United States. The foregoing is
a delayed response to a request made
by Postmaster Pratt for a ruling under
the recent postal agreement between
Great Britain and the United States
Mr.. Pratt has been proceeding on the
theory that these Islands being a Ter
ritory of the United States were a part
of it. The Postmaster General or the
Government = appears to think
otherwise. The subject is one that will
probably be taken up by the public
of the city.

PRESIDENT TO HUNT
PLANS FOR FIRST YEAR AFTER
HIS TERM EXPIRES.
Sails from New York About March 81
via the Mediterranean and Red Sea-
Caravan Will Number Twenty-fiv
People-Natives Prepare to Receive
President With Marked Attention

President Roosevelt s plans for en-
tering the ranks of private citizenship
have been so far completed that he is
able to announce, in a general way, his
movements for over a year following
the Inauguration of his successor.
The greater portion of that time will
be spent in hunting big game in Brit
ish East Africa in and about Victoria
lake and the plains of Uganda. He
will leave Washington March for
Oyster Bay. Unless some unexpected
obstacle intervenes he will sail from
New York within fortnight direct
for his hunting grounds by way of the
Mediterranean and the Red sea, en-
tering the country at Mombasa.
At Alexandria, Egypt, he will pick
up his guns and supplies. Accom-
panied by at least one of the Roosevelt
boys and two government naturalists
he will there be joined by his caravan,
which is expected to number about rs.
Travelling several hundred miles
from Mombasa it is the president Is
purpose to leave the train and strike
into the almost impenetrable mountain
forests. At Usoga, north of Victoria
lake, he will enter more open country
The region which he will then travvel
is considered to be the greatest hunt
ing ground for big game in the world
From the plateau of Uganda the
president will work north along the
White Nile to Khartoum, in the his
toric Soudan. From there he intends
to travel by easy stages down the
Nile in boats specially adapted fol
passing the six cataracts.
| An invitation, which he is still con
sidering, has been extended the presi
dent to leave British soil for a. time
| and traverse German East Africa.
The president discussed his proposed
trip with Bishop ]. G. Hartzel of tn,
Methodist Episcopal church in Africa
An invitation was extended him b.
the bishop to visit the Methodist mis-
sion in eastern Africa, and it was read
lily accepted by the president, who tolC
the bishop that the movement had hi
earnest Endorsement and that he coul,
