ENFORCING PROHIBITION.
NEW YORK STATE WITHDRAWS. LEFT TO "WASHINGTON. NEW YORK, June 1. The Governor of Xew York State, Mr. Smith, signed the repeal of the State Prohibition Enforcement Law. The Federal Administration is surprised at the Governor giving his approval q! the repeal, as it is believed that his veto was certain. It is learned that the President means to see the Federal J-av: enforced. Immediate steps are being taken to send the largest possible enforcement staff to Mew York State. The prohibition authorities expect that there will be a reign of boot-legging for several months until sufficient forces can. tie assembled to circumvent it, but they are confident that the "dry" sentiment in Congress is strong enough to vote ample funds to secure suppression of the liquor traffic. Politically, the Governor's move is regarded as likely to pμt the democratic Party on a "wet" platform at the next election. — (A. and X.Z. Cable.)
SHIPPING RULING. WASHINGTON , , June 2. The State Department has received a protest from Portugal against the United States' ruling prohibiting the carriage of liquor aboard ships within the threemile limit.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
