The injured are making good progress,
The cause of the accident is still unexplained. Various theories will be sub mitted to the experts. Federal Elections,
The taking of the census and the Federal elections coming together are likely to cause complications. Representations have been made from the States to have the elections postponed till after the census is taken. Brisdaxe, Feb. 19.
The Labor Executive endorsed the candidature of Dawson, Higgs, Stewart, and members of the State Assembly, for the Federal Senate.
The Sugar Question.
The Sugar Journal, commenting on Mr Barton’s attitude regarding colored labor, says that the real issue was entirely overlooked. The Premier’s utterances are not only a danger to the sugar industry, but a danger to any efforts to establish coffee, tea, spices, or other purely tropical growths. The real question is the settlement of tropical lands, not only in North Queensland but the whole of tropical Australia. Comparatively few realise the immensity of the whole problem.
