MADISON. Wis, Feb. 24.-Gov. Peek
yesterday sent to the Senate the list
of pardons granted by him during his
first term in office. From this list 1t is
learned that he has extended execu-
tive clemency in all to forty six persons.
In each instance he has given his
reasons for the granting of the pardon,
and in the Clifford case has gone into an
exhaustive review of the merits of the
question, citing judges reasoning and
arguments, laying stress upon the fact
that the pardon is granted only upon
condition that Clifford refrain from
gambling and from the use Of intoxicat-
ing liquors during the remainder of his
life. Should the pardoned man violate
the conditions of his parole he is liable
to be again confined in the state prison
and remain there 80 long as he shall
live. The executive message transmit
