THE PROHIBITION LAW.
How It Affects Foreign Shipping.
Washington, April 30. The Supreme Court has decided that foreign and American steamships are prohibited from bringing to American ports intoxica ting liquors under seal intended for the use of passengers on the outward voyages. It held, however, that American steamships are not prohibited from having on board intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes on the high seas, and in foreign ports. The latter decision reverses the ruling of the Attorney General against serving liquor on the high seas.
