QUEENSLAND.
Brisbane, February 26. The Colonial Secretary has despatched a message to the Hon. T. Playford, Premier of South Australia, urging that the utmost expedition should be used m dealing with the influx of Chinese into the northern portions of South Australia. The message further suggests that the importance of the question demands attention, and if the Government have not power to deal with the matter, Parliament should at once be summoned.
It is reported from Rockhamptom that a mailman has been drowned there during the late heavy floods. Four men who were encamped on the bank of one of the creeks have been shut off from communication with any of the towns, and had to remain five days without food. All efforts were made to assist the unfortunate men, but the heavy flood of water prevented this being done.
