LESS ANNOTANCE TO TRAVELLERS.

LARGER FORCES OF INSPECTORS HANDLE BAG
GAGE WITH GREATER CELEBRITY.
American citizens returning here from Europe
have been making fewer complaints recently about
the way their baggage Is inspected than they were
aking several weeks ago. The reason for this Is
found largely in the fact that the number OF In
spectors assigned to each incoming ship has been
increased and that the inspectors are exercising
more care than formerly In the handling OF the
contents Of trunks.
Complaints were numerous AZ one time That In
the search for "declared and "undeclared articles
subject TO duty clothes pictures robes. etc. were
often scattered upon the dirty floor Of the pier and
after being mussed and jumbled together. were
left for the passenger TO repack as best he or she
could
a striking change in this respect has been APP
parent at the landing OF several OF the big ocean
liners recently. Passengers are annoyed as little
possible by the inspectors. and their belong
ings handled carefully as Is consistent with
a thorough search The time consumed in the
work grows less and less also the inspectors
acquire more skill and experience.
