COLOURED LABOUR IN QUEENSLAND.
London, May IG. The "Pall Mall Gazette," in arguing that England should not meddle with Queensland and the employment of coloured labour, quotes some remarks made by Lord Carrington recently on the subject. In the House of Commons, Baron De Worms told Mr J. A. Picton, member for Leicester, that the Government declined to take the extreme, course and disallow the Kanaka Act passed by the Queensland Government, but had agreed to cable to Queensland, asking for the full terms of thestringent regulations contained in the Act." London, May 17. The " Morning Post " says that it cannot concede that an insult has been offered to Queensland by the way in which the Imperial Government have treated the coloured labour question.
