The " dry " forces in the .Ameriean Congress have

received another blow, On Wednesday, August 24th, the Senate refused to consider further the Campbell-Willis Prohibition Enforcement Bill and voted a thirty days' recess. The New York correspon- dent of the Times says that Senators of both parties united in resisting•the Bill. It will be rememberedthat the Bpi empowers police officers to search private. houses for liquor without a warrant. The argument against the Bill was, of course, that it would means violationof the constitutional rights of free citizens.
