More than two hundred friends and relatives, many of whom had spent the night at the terminal, were on hand to greet the Mauretania pas- sengers who arrived on the first spe- cial train from Haitfax early to-day. There were 147 passengers on the six sleopera, and by order of the Cunard Company they were allowed to aleep as long as they wished, Acting Deputy Collector J. R. Rey- nolds was on hand with a number of customs inspectors, but there wae considerable delay in examining the 200 pieces of baggage because the steamship company had no men on hand to move the luggage. Moat of the passengers said no con- sternation resulted when the course of the steamer was changed last Wednesday night, putting into Hall- fax instead of proceeding to New York, There was plenty of natural curiosity at the mManketing of port- holes and the extinguishing of lights, but no excitement. Bome of the passengers left the Special train at Portland, Me. and could pay thelr own transportation to this city.
