HELENA, May 2s.-Thc state board of
partlons to-day sent a communication 10
the governor, refusing to endorse his par.
don of John A. Rowand. The document
covers IL pages Of type written matter.
The greater part is devoted to the repro
duction of evidence given at the trial
OF Rowand In Butte in April
1888. The statements Of Il jurors are
given asking for Rowand's pardon and
stating in some instances that their ver-
diet would have been different had GER
tain facts been known which appeared
after the trial. There is also a copy of the
alleged "a fildavit that Martin said he would
give testimony in Rowand's behalf for
S2,UD. After reviewing these things the
communication concludes as follows:
by reason of the interest manifested in this
ease We have felt called upon To quote largely
from the evidence aud make more extended
inquiry than we otherwise would, hut we do mol
feel that We would be Justified In even consider
ing at its best all that has been presented IN
favor of the petitioner In approving the aston Of
the governor: hence we return the petition AMI
notification OF pardon without approval.
This is signed by Attorney General Has
kell, Auditor Kenny and Secretary of
State Rotwitt. The circumstances ofthe
murder are well known. The prominence
Of Rowand's friends and of his family
make the case OF more than usual interest.
The first application for his par
don was made TO Governor Leslie and was
denied. President Harrison was then
appealed To, but he said that the case was
outside the jurisdiction OF the United
States. An appeal was then made tn
Governor White, but the case went along
until Governor Toole came in. He recon-
mended the pardon last February, but
the application has hung fire until to-day.
Sir John A. Mcdonald OF Canada has
written many personal letters in
Rowand's favor. Sir Julian Paunceforte,
the British minister at Washington, has
tary of State Blaine wrote a personal
letter to the board requesting the
pardon as n matter OF International
courtesy. Letters were also received
from Rowand's mother, thr wife OF Bus
| siere, the dead man, and from Governor
| White who said that il IL was In his power
the pardon would be granted. On the
other hand the board has heard many ex
prcssions OF opinion that the pardon shouls
not be granted, these coming principal,
from Butte. Peter Martin and Hon. A
NJ. Dussault Of that city appeared befors
the board mt u hearing in March and ar
gued against the application.
George ID. Greene Of Boulder will ap
pear before the governor tomorrow
aud argue for n communication for Thofna

of death. Tie hopes To at least secure ;
respite of the execution, which is To tak'

doubtedly the object of the Canadian Pa
! cific was to open the contamination of
the trade between the Northern Pacific
and George Gould, providing for running
| steamers to Tacoma. This may result i'm
the establishment Of another steamship
line, but this Is deprecated by Oakes, who
believes that the proper solution OF the
| question lies in the consolidation of the
Pacific mail, Oriental and of Occidental
and Canadian Pacific lines and the recog-
milton of Tacoma by monthly or semi
monthly steamer to and from that port.
An arrangement of that kind would give
San Francisco, Tacoma and Vancouver
all the China and Japan service they
needed.
