REFUSED TO ASK MERCY.
Woman Terrorist Privately Executed
at Moscow.

Moscow, July 26.-With the observ-
ance of the greatest privacy Madame
Fromkina, who In March last at
tempted to assassinate General Rhein-
bot, the ex-prefect Of police, and who
in May made an attempt to murder
the Inspector OF the political prison
here, wounding him with pistol
which had been mysteriously SNUG
gled into her cell, was hanged in this
city at sunrise.
The authorities made every effort
during the past fortnight to persuade
the woman to plead for the mercy Of
the emperor, but this she obstinately
refused to do. Her parents interceded
with the throne in her behalf, but
their efforts were unavailing.
Madame Fromkina was not charged
with actual murder, but was accused
of making several Intellectual attempts
to kill officials. 1t Is believed that her
mind was unbalanced and that she
suffered from hysteria.

Denatured Alcohol.

Washington, July 26.-Amended de-
natured alcohol regulations have been
issued by the commissioner of internal
revenue to take the place on Sept 1
OF the regulations heretofore issued
and are made necessary by the act
passed by the last congress.
Under the new regulations, In addi-
ton to denatured warehouses on dis
tillery premises, central denaturing

such points as business interests may
require and alcohol iaay be transferred
from denaturing warehouses by means
OF tanks or tank cars to consumers.
Manufacturers using completely de-
natured alcohol are not required to
swear to application for permit and a
permit when secured continues in
force until revoked and retail dealers
In denatured alcohol are not required
to keep a record of any kind. Indus
trial or farm distilleries may produce
alcohol from anythiiA q that contains
fermentable matter. At these diStil-
leries one room may be used as a
and denaturing warehouse.
Industrial distilleries are divided
into two classes. In the first class are
placed distilleries of surveyed capac-
ity of fifty proof gallons or lsss OF
spirits In twenty-four hours. At such
distilleries stOrekeeper gaugers are
not regularly assigned unless the col
lector certifies that in his opinion the
presence of an officer at particular
distillery Is necessary.
Distilleries Of the second class are
those that produce more than fifty
gallons and less than 100 gallons of
distilled spirits daily. At distilleries
OF this class an officer will be reg
ularly assigned unless the collector
shall certify that the distillery can
safely operate without one.
