CAPE POLITICS.
UNPRECEDENTED CONSTITUTIONAL SITUATION.
Received September 13, B.£B p.m. CAPETOWN, September 13. An unprecedented constitutional situation has arisen in South Africa, owing to the Legislative Council of Cape Colony, during the discussion on the Appropriation Bill in Committee, resolving, by 11 votes to 10, that the Chairman should leave the chair. This blocks supply. The Treasurer, to-day, moves that the Council sgain go into Committee and resume consideration of the Bill. The parties in the Council are equal, but as Mr Ross, a progressive, presides in Committee, the Opposition then have the majority. The Premier, if necessary, will ask the Assembly whether it will tolerate the Council's interference with its privileges.
