The twenty-fifth anniversary of the, accession of Em peror William to the imperial throne was celebrated today throughout the German empire as a general holiday. - The commemoration, Which'- "had been deferred frorn its actual date out of respect to the memory of the em peror's father, Frederick,: coincides with the forty-second anniversary of the triumphal return Hf his grand father at the head of his victorious army after the Franco-Prussian war and was marked by considerable mili tary display. Emphasis, however, was laid also on the peaceful aspects of the em peror's quarter century reign indus trial and civic developments and the prosperity of the country. Presentation of an address from the American peace societies by Andrew Carnegie, R. S. Brookings of St. Louis and J. S.

Reports of the engagement, reach ing here by wireless from the Island of Jolo, are very meager. All of the Americans killed were members of the several companies of scouts. In the first advance upon the mountain last week six Americans were killed. The number of dead among the Moros ,1s not known. Last night's battle began just before dark. The fighting was tierce but the American advance was so deter mined that the Moros at last stole away and left the mountain clear. They are now at large and will be pursued ceaselessly.

President Wilson probably will read his cur rency message personally to both branches of congress assembled in the hall of the house, as he did his tariff message. He finished writing the message today. It is about 1200 words long and urges immediate revision of the banking and currency laws. The president expects the currency bill to be launched in both houses of congress some time this week. It rep- , resents the administration's views and, according to Mr. Wilson himself, will be "no man's bill" but the results of common counsel among currency ad vocates whose suggestions were con densed and formulated by Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department and Chairmen Owen and Glass of the senate and house banking and cur rency committees, respectively, with , the advice and : assistance of the president. .- At the regular semi-weekly con- , ference with the Washington corre spondents today, the president was asked for an explanation of some of the principles of the currency reform, i but said that inasmuch as the bill and his own message would be made pub lic within .tv wtl he, .-would refrain . from comment at this time. ' The president was undecided as to whether his message would be pre- sented to congress in advance of the currency bill or whether both would be made public about the same-time. The impression prevailed, however, that the bill would be introduced in both houses by Wednesday or Thurs day of this week and that the presi dent will pronounce his views to con gress about June 23. Kinds Little Objection. The president declared, however, to day that there were no essential va riations among the leading democrats with whom he had consulted concern ing currency reform. As to the Inti mation from the cepitol that currency legislation was not desired at this session, the president declared no such Information had been conveyed to him. His impression was that the need of currency legislation was rec ognized, but that the only objection raised against Its enactment at tho extra session was the approaching hot season. Harmony of purpose, but perhans not harmony of opinion, is the way the White House sizes up the currency situation. With the feeling that tho farmers of the bill have been walking on sound ground the president and democratic leaders hope to reconcile differences, so there will be party agreement eventually. There is no disposition to regard the currency bill as It IS launcnea as vor uni " ihe administration on the subject. Chairman Owen and Glass con ferred again today and Mr. Owen, af terward announced that the bill prac tically had been completed and would be considered in committee this week and taken up and passed before the extra session adjourned. "This talk of no currency legislation at this session," said Senator Owen, 'is based on artificial sentiment. Some of it of course, springs from the Idea ihnt It Is a deep subject which will re quire prolonged study and debate. This 1b because no concrete proposi tion has been submitted for consid eration of senators.
