CABLE BREVITIES.
LONDON, February 21

In the House of Lords Lord Onslow, replying to Lord Lamington, exGovernor of Queensland, said the Pacific Island Labourers Bill was a subject entirely within the Commonwealth's jurisdiction. Doubtless care would be taken that the labourers were returned to their own villages.
