The announcement of this victory, which was the most Important naval ?- ngagemcnt of the war except that off Holigoland last August, was mado tonight in a statement by the admi? ralty of less thran 1OO words.

Washington, Dec. 8.?The tight Cor $250,000,000 in currencj to deposit in ?cotton and tobacco belt banks to re? lievo farmers, waged i<? a draw in the last session of congress, collapsed In the house today. Contemporaneously, r [the house supported administration vi< wo as to a trio of currency bills, which the cotton filibuster blocked last October. One of tho-> was pass? ed by the house today, it purpos to amend the f?deral reserve law to [authorize the federal reserve board, ,1:'. Its discretion, to increase without [limit the aggregate amount of ac? ceptances a lank may make, based on the exportation or importation of I goods, J The purpose of this Mil, now to go to the senate, is to enable man:, large State banks and trust cdtnpanics, i which have built up an Immense bus [Iness In financing exportations and [importations, to become members of [the federal reserve system. They are virtually excluded from this mem? bership now because of the restriction in the present law confining the vol [ume of banking operations to an amount equal to one-half of the bank's or trust company's paid-up capital and surplus. j Of Iho ?ither two bills, one was sent back to the committee and the iij her rejected as unnecessary. The ? first would have permitted member I banks of the reserve system to de I posit for a temporary period within reserve hanks their portion of the i bank reserve required to be kept In ? the vault;?. Administration leaders contended that with the sharp differences In I committee and on apparent necessity 'for immediate action the bill woll [could he left in committee. The senate's amended bill to in? crease use of commercial paper up pt|^iAiL,Pcr cent oL unimparicd capi tal and surplus as a basis of emer? gency curency under the Aldrich Vreeland law was the vehicle of the Henry cotton currency plan, on a mo? tion of Representative Henry to re? commit the hill to the banking and c urrency committee with Instruct! uv to report the bill back with the cot? ton proposition with the first untlnijh od business. <;u roll call the motion was defeated.
