long railway journey to Halifax St. John and
there embark slow ships.
The Canadians appreciate the value OF this pat
ronage of their steamers. and everything is made
comfortable as possible for Americans in transit

NOT so STRICT IN BOSTON.
FRIENDS MEETING TRAVELLERS FIND
LITTLE TO HAMPER THEM.

Boston, March 16 (SpeciaD-The process of Gus
toms inspection works smoothly here. The Custom
House has seen no necessity for establishing such
strict prohibitions relating to communication be-
tween passengers and their friends as have been
recently set up In New-York. The books show
that in 1890 about twenty-seven thousand passen-
gers from transatlantic ports landed in Boston and
sixty-one thousand from Canada and Jamaica. The
number promises TO be somewhat larger this year.
But with the fifty sixty inspectors who meet
each incoming vessel the inspection work is rapidly
accomplished.
AT this port, persons who desire TO meet friends
at the pier may get permit cards from the steam
ship companies that will insure entrance through
the outer gates into the yard. but these per-
raits outsiders go within the inclosure
where the inspectors are at work on the bag
gage. To pass the inspector is possible only to the
bearer of card signed by the Surveyor of the
Port; and the number of such courtesies is lin
tied so that the inspection service may suffer no
interference. After the baggage OF saloon and
DIN passengers has been examined and clear red
away. friends Of steerage passengers allowed TO
greet them. In exceptional cases, when there are
sick aged feeble passengers special privileges

issued TO the steamship companies, who in turn
their discretion regarding their distribution.
Holders of these tickets are permitted on the
wharf. AS the steamship companies have always
exercised great in giving out these tickets
there has never been any trouble.
The baggage is put ashore in a separate inclOs-

are allowed enter there unless the number OF
