PASSENGERS ARE TAKEN OFF Attempt to Get Vessel Off at lllsrh Tide Falls Part of Carffo "Will He Removed and Tngi Will Trr Asain. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 5. The passengers from tho Eastern line steamer Northland, bound from New York for Portland, Me., which went ashore on Bartlett'a reef late last night, were safely landed In this city this morning and a half hour later started for Boston and Portland on a special train. The captain and crew of the Northland remained aboard their ship, which la In no Im mediate danger, as the weather is fair. The passengers, seventy-five In number. were brought to port by the wrecking tug Tasco, which had been summoned by wireless. Tho Northland grounded on Bartlett's reef, ten miles southwest of here, about midnight last night. There was a heavy fog over Long Island round. There was little alarm among the passengers. An attempt to haul off the Northland was made at high tide this morning by three tugs, but the steamer remained fast on the reef. Arrangements were made to lighten the cargo, and at high tide another effort to float the vessel will be made. It Is believed here the grounding of the Northland was due to Captain Alfred Johnson, mistaking In the fog the Bart lett's reef light for that on Gull Island. DEMOCRATS FACE DEFICIT (Continued from Page One.) PRIMARY UPSETS DEMO DOPE IN IDA COUNTY IDA OROVE. Ia., June 6. (Special.) One of the side features ot the primaries week was an upheaval in the Ida county democratic! camp. It is not often that there Is a fight In Ida county over the election of democratic delegates, but there was one in every preclnctj of the county. Frank Hutton ot the Holsteln Advance wanted to succeed Charles Brltch aa county chairman, and M. M. White was in command ot his forces In the field. Opposed to the "slate" of the organisa tion weret those who wanted to put Julius Rohwer in as democratic county chair man. Major A. C. Johnson being In com mand. The Johnson forces won In seven teen of trie twenty-one townships and Rohwer. who recently was elected to tho office of state consul ot the Iowa Mod ern Woodmen, will be the next demo cratic chairman. the country this year on the tariff law as It stands. Every effort will be madn to avoid Issuing bonds before the Novem ber elections. Being In power, the dem ocrat are now on the defensive and they have enough to explain in the past year's record without adding a bond issue to tt. When the democrats took hold on March 4. 1913, there was a tree balance in the treasury ot approximately 1U2,00),000. That is to say, there was that amount available against which there wero no charges ot any kind. The treo balance has now dropped to a little more than $T1,OCO,000. On the year's business up to May 2S, Inclusive, the treasury reports a deficit of more than Jil,000,000. For the eleven-month period receipts from all sources aggregated more than 007,000,000, as compared with 101,000,000 last year, a decline ot 124,000,000. Disburse ments footed up to a total of 1679,000,000, an excess over receipts of J72,000,000. Taking Into consideration the decline In receipts, the Increase in expenses and the steady inroads that have been mad In the last year Into the tree balance, the condition ot the treasury warrants con cern on the part of tho administration. Budget Biggest Ever. But this is not the whole story. Appro priations are piling up In this congress, The total budget tor the year will be a record-breaker. It will surpass anything in the way of an appropriation record over made by the republicans, who are noted as prodigal spenders. Last year the democratic congress appropriated Jl,CO3,67$,7SS-40. It Is predicted that the ap propriation of the current session, unless present tendencies are checked, may total $1,500,000,000. Herein lies the cause for nearly all (he present worries. With the returns from tho Income tax law the democrats might bo able to show a surplus In the treasury In a few months, But on July 1 the new appropria tions will beoome available, and the drain on the treasury will bo ronewed where It left oft on June SO. Within, the last week there have been reports that the democrats were thinking ot retaining a duty of 1 cent a pound on sugar as a means of bolstering up the revenues. On January 1. 1918, after a slid ing scale ot reduction In rates, sugar, by authority ot the Underwood-Simmons tariff act, will go on the free list Under republican tariffs sugar was the biggest single Item of revenue. It yielded nearly f60, 000,000 a year. The reduced rate on this product now In force haa diminished receipts from this source and In a year or two sugar will not yield the treasury a penny. 3Iut Not Tonch Tariff Now. "We cannot touch the tariff before th November elections," said a democratic leader. "We've' got to stand or fall by the law this year. After the elections we may have to revise the tariff, but if we have to get more funds before that time we will have to resort to a small bond issue." The treasury statement of conditions does not Indicate that business is bad throughout the country. Consumption, as Indicated by receipts at the internat rev enue bureau, Is increasing. In the eleven months of 1313 receipts from this sourca aggregated $578,368,184.87. They increased to J278.821.758.12 In the correpsonding period this year. While Internal revenue receipts were Increasing customs dropped from 278,000.000 to 67,000.000. Democrats have a lot of excuses to otter for treas ury conditions. They say. In the first placo. that with the growth of the coun try there Is a consequent increase in tho cost of maintaining the government. They aver that they expected customs re ceipts to decline and insist that the In come tax will make up Hie deficiency on this account. They also have another excuse. They point out that the military operations against Mexico already havo cost millions. Ono deficiency bill carry ing 16,500.000 on this account has been passed. They expct to authorize further deficiency appropriations for tho army and navy. Trylnsr to Keep Do-rvn Bills. Democratic leaders resrjonslhl for va appropriation bills are making desperate efforts to keep expenditures within bounds. They have warning that the party would be called upon in tne coming campaign to explain away the biggest budget that ever cafcie out oi congress. They are having little or no luck in curbing tho member Impor tunate to got appropriations on the eva of a campaign. The individual member takes little heed of the results of con gress as a whole. At all times he ap pears to be concerned only with bis own showing in tho matter of appropriations for his district. Up to date the "treasury watchdogs" havo received little or no help from the administration in their efforts to keep appropriations within limits. President Wilson smiles when told about the appro priation trend in congress, but that Is a far as he goes. SECOND GREATEST SHIP ARRIVESAT NEW YORK NEW YORK, June S.-The new giantess.
