Not Pleased With Pennypacker.

Very few members of the large colony
of Pennsylvania Republicans in Wash
ington are pleased with the cam
paign being made by Judge Pennypacker,
their party's candidate for governor.
They say that. although Judge PENNY
hacker is a man of eminent respecta-
bility and high character. he has done
neither himself nor his party any good
by his campaign speeches. There mas
been too much praise of Quay and
Ouayisrn in his addresses. they say. The
fact that he has declared from the
stump that Senator Quay is a bigger
man than either Webster or Clay IS
putting it little too strong even for
the supporters of the Senator. especially
so in view of the fact that the whole
basis of the fight on Judge Pennypacker
rests upon the charge that he is Quay's
candidate. Then. too. the judge asserts
that pennsylvania has no Ills that

Chairman Babcock Is Confident.

quarters in New York yesterday and
broke his long silence on the probable
result of the election. He said that the
outlook for the Republicans was rather
gloomy two weeks ago. but that pres
ent prospects favor them. He vouch-
safed no figures or other details. nut
contented himself with the mere con-
yentional statement that the Repub-
licans will retain control Of the House.
Now that Mr.. Babcock has spoken. 1t IS

Queen Alexandra's visit in state to the
most famous pieces will be the Grace

of the Tudor rose portcullis and feur
de lis. The cover is surmounted by the
Tudor crown above the arms of Eng

Hardly less notable is the royal oak

leaves and pendent acorns.
