morning a second tug made fast and both tugs
hauled, but in vain. The ship also made sail, as
the wind offshore. Late in the afternoon
the revenue cutter Mohawk laid to by the
stranded ship and kept in sight all the time to
help in case she was needed. and also to see that
there was no attempt at smuggling. Captain
Dunbar, of Far Rockaway, with his assistant,
captain A! Herbert. of Freeport, was out early
and on the beach that attempt was
made at smuggling.

OUTLOOK in THE HOUSE
LEADERS CHANGE Plans
Many OF Presidents Recommends
tions To Be FoHozced.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington May 1.-After series of confer
ences to-day the House leaders agreed on a pro-
gramme of legislation to be enacted at the pres
ent session. The plan is changed somewhat
from that considered by the leaders some time
ago. and shows clearly that the Presidents mes
sages and the approval which greeted them have
had their effect the Speaker and his follow
ers, with the result that many of the Presidents
suggestions to Congress will be followed.
The legislation agreed to-day comprises the
Vreeland financial bill, the anti-injunctlon bill,
introduced by Representative Payne; Represen-
tative Olcotts child labor bill for the District
OF Columbia and the passage of the pending
resolution for examination of tariff schedules.
1t is also intended to bring the Mccall campaign
publicity bill before the House, and effort will
be made TO pass It,
Most important of all these measures in the
eyes of the President and the majority of the
House is the anti-injunction BILL and while the
Payne measure does not altogether please the
Presidents friends in Congress they realize that
it is decided victory they have won over Mr..
Payne and the Speaker. and will probably put
forth all their efforts to pass it. 1t is intimated
that Representative Williams the minority
leader is not satisfied With the BILL and will use
his strength to defeat ii. The measure is advo-
Gated by many because of its simplicity and
brevity. They believe that its Interpretation
will be easy and its operation simple The Olcott
bill will be one Of the first measures taken up
after the sundry civil bill is disposed OF, while
Mr.. Mccall expects that his campaign publicity
bill will also be voted on about the same time.
The Ways and Means Committee has already
begun its arrangement for sessions in the recess,
but an investigation of the tariff schedules Is all
that is to be provided for at the present session
Even the Presidents request for repeal of the
tariff on wood pulp is likely to be ignored, as the
committee appointed by the Speaker finds It's
work multiplying each day, and can hardly re-
port before adjournment.
The Republican whip is now confident that
the Vreeland financial bill will be passed. and
each day some recruit is added to the list of its
supporters. 1t learned to-day that the en-
tire Indiana delegation. some of whom have been
against the measure, have announced themselves
as favoring 1t with few minor amendments.
It is probable that the bill will be amended TO
suit the greatest number, as Representative
Vreeland seems willing to make any changes
which will insure its passage 1t will be consd-
cred at a conference on Wednesday or Thursday
