QUEENSLAND.
(BV ELEOTIUO TELEOIIAI'H—COL'VUIGHT). London, June 2-1. At the annual dinner of Queenslanders, the Chairman said tlio prohibition of coloured labour in the colony was killing the sugar industry, and the result was a. demand for separation. Sir G. Bowen said the deliberate judgment of the people must settle tho question of separation. The success nf Australian federation would advance the cause of imperial federation, and the next generation would demand representation on the Imperial Council with equivalent financial responsibilities. One speaker said the scant attention given to Queensland affairs at home was the cause of dissatisfaction. The Cession of Heligoland, like that of Eastern New Guinea, showed how England advanced her own interests regardless of tho colonies. He also condemned tho black looks cast on a Queensland statesman, for daring to object to a certain Governor.
