PARTY LINES BROKEN.
DEMOCRATS VOICE APPROVAL ASSURANCE OF PASSAGE. By Telegraph—Press Association— (Received 9.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. NEW YORK. Feb. 11. The Washington correspondent of the Now York Times states that partisan lines have broken down in the consideration of the Debt Funding Bill in the Senate. Many Democrats have rallied to the support of the measure. Mr. R. Smoot has announced that he does not believe that more than 12 Senators will vote against the Bill. Mr. A. Promerene, a Democratic Senator, has issued a stirring appeal on beHalf of approval of the Bill. He points out that Britain spent all the money in the United States, permitting the American people to reap enormous profits. The United States Government was not responsible for this, just as the British Government was not responsible for excessive ocean freight rates which British shipowners charged the United States in the war, but now that the two Governments have come together for a settlement they must deal equitably with each other.
