FEARS THE ANARCHISTS.
Queen Margarlta May Abandon Tour q
 the United states.

the United states.
 New York. Feb. 27.--The proposed visit of the Queen Dowager Margarita of Italy on an automobile trip to this country. announced sometime ago, and confirmed by recent cable messages, may possibly be deferred. according to he Tribune today, on account of cer- tain anarchist meetings held recently in this and neighboring cities
 It was learned last night from man who is in touch with diplomatic cir cles in this country and in Europe, that as soon as the news of Queen Margari- ta's proposed visit was published, activ- ity was noticed in anarchistic societies in Paterson. N. l.. and Springfield. III.
 Information regarding the meetings has heeni communicated to tho Italian Consul in New. York. So far as could be learned last night, the anarchists did not advocate any harsh measures nEa4Ifkt the Queen Dowagef. but it was thought that great quantity of of fensIva pamphlete might be scattered all over tho country.
 The only grievance against Queen Margarlta that the anarchists could have is that she is the widow of King Humbert. A friend of the Queen Dow ager said last night that she had never interfered with the Government and that she was the best Queen fin Eu- rope.
 It may be said on authority that if the Queen Dowager should come to New York some of the best officers Of the secret service of Italy. will be sent here to assist the detectives in the pay of the Italian consulate of New York.
 The Queen Dowager will come to New York incognito if she comes this spring, and her name on the passenger list will be Countess of Moncalieri. Moncalieri is a royal castle near Turin. the birth place of the Queen Dowager.

TALKS OF THE CANAL.
Burton Harrlson says Administration
 Sh0uId he UpheId.

. 0M0Ul0 ME DPWCfUs
 New York, Feb. 27,--Congressman Francis Burton Harrison returned to New York yesterday after trip of six weeks through Central America. One yesk af that time he spent in in- Panama canal He Is convinced. he says, tha. the administration ought to be upheld in its work.
 Mir. Harrison said that. although a Democrat. the officials engaged In the canal work were eager to inform him about 1t. They seemed to have noth- ing to conceal. and they had work there, he said, to show for their ef- forts. He found esprit de corps among the higher officials and he eontinued:
 Mir Stevens Is working to establish it. all along the line. With the minor officials who are appointed by the civil service, there IS iitkle of the spirit nec- essary for the right kind of work. They seem to fear that Washington will change tho plans and change their jobs. I think the canal commissioners should be there on the ground. II would help vast deal Not all of them would be neoessary--two or three might do. More work would be ac- somplished.Y
 Mir Harrison was asked if he apprcv. ed the plans for the building of the canal.
 T think 1t would be, folly" he re- piled, "to array any party against such 8 work. Criticism might be all right, but not as partisan criticism.
 T believe the canal is being dug honestly, efficiently and with inteili- gence. Any observant traveller could offer minor criticism as to what has been done and what has been left un- done, but we are not dealing with trivialitfas there. nor is the canal com mission to be held accountable like the are building a great canal. and it is going to be built"
