Show May Use Wines. PETROGHAD, via London? July 3, 3 p. m. The prohibition bill passed by the duma, which, on first analysis, whs generally gen-erally interpreted as embracing all kinds of alcoholic drinks, now has been found to contain an unpublished clause which makes an exception of wines not containing contain-ing more than 12 per cent of alcohol. The bill as originally published, would have meant, ruin for tho immense vinevard interests in-terests of south Russia, the Crimea and the Caucasus. Sales of tiie excepted wines will be permitted per-mitted in wine-producing districts and in towns in other regions, except where local lo-cal option declares otherwise. |
