letter CT April in reply to our petition to
the President IN regard to the system Of
baggage inspection at the United States
custom house. 1t !s gratifying to us 20
learn that You recognize the justice of our
complaints, and that the department will
do all in its power to reduce legitimate
cause of complaint to the minimum, and
that the best that can be done is none too
good. We are gratiffed to learn from you
that the travelling public as we'll as those
who stay at home must be protected as far
as possible The suggestions you have
made in regard to the steamship companies
providing special rooms, the appointment OF
n special deputy to whom complaints can
be made, and the promise OF other nodifi-
cations being made from time to time as
they are found practicable will all tend to
reduce many OF the annoyances experienced
at the piers.
I'VE desire to call your attention. how
ever, TO one OF our representations which
you have overlooked, viz, tho Importance
of having an officc on the docks where pas
sengers may be able to obtain money for
payment of duties, on showing their letters
of credit or giving satisfactory proof Of

been made clear at our hearing on this Pc
tition that the administration of the laws

"You remark in your circular that rela-
lively few people save Americans travel.
Surely you have forgotten the numerous
passenger steamers which daily cross the
English channel, and the crowded railway
trains that are hourly passing all the from
tiers of Europe, containing number of
travellers SO vast that the 10000 who sail
annually from our shores are mere frac-
tion. Yet the delay at the custom houses
is almost unnoticed and the traveller has
rarely anything Of which to complain
The ladies ask If it would not be desirable
to send an intelligent custom house officer
speaking foreign languages. on tour OF
Europe to learn the methods there. They
also ask that until the law limiting the free
entry of personal effects to 500 is repealed
