GOVERNMENT BLOCKED.
PECULIAR POSITION IN CAPE . COLONY. UPPER HOUSE AGAIN BLOCKS SUPPLY. Received Sept. 15, 3.20 p.m. Capetown, Septemher 14. The Legislative Council, on Dr. Jame-' aon's casting vote, agreed to his motion to resume discussion on the Appropriation Bill. Dr. Jameson emphasised to the Council that he was bound, in the country's interest, to fight the question out. He pointed out that when a similar situation arose in New Zealand, the law officers decided against the Upper House. He declared if the Government, with a majority in the Lower House, was resisted now, it would establish a precedent, stopping all constitutional government. The Council, after discussion, again, by 11 votes to 10, voted that the chairman leave the chair.
