IMMIGRATION BILL WINS
Senate Concurs With House In Over-
riding Wilson's Veto.
Congress has overridden a veto by
President Wilson for the first time
and enacted into law the immigration
bill with .its long-fought literacy test
provision
The senate voted, 62 to 19, to pass
the measure notwithstanding the veto
and in spite of eleventh hour informa-
tion that Japan again had protested
against the language of the Asiatic
exclusion section. The house over-
turned the veto last week by a vote
‘of 287 to 106, so the senate’s action
ends the contest of twenty years”
standing in which three presidents
have repudiated similar bills passed
by congress.

It is estimated that there are at least
a thousand of these primitive dwell

but a single entrance to this cliff city.
The trail leads over the face and down

Naples Ils a Seaport Crowded With
Amazing Contrasts.
Naples, aside from its amazing local
beauty, is a dirty south Italian seu-
port, full of fleas and beggers noiew ag
pandemonium day and nigui, wilbout
a really distinguished edifice, and peo-
pled by a conglomerate mass as strik-
ingly beautiful physically as they are
notoriously untrustworthy. From the
storied heights that sweep in a magni-
ficent amphitheater around the bril-
liant bay the old city straggles down-
ward in a picturesque huddle of dense-
ly packed houses and other buildings.
tortuous streets full of color and bub-
bling with the nervous activity of the
south, black canyons of stone stairs,
slippery with damp and dirt, across
which its teeming houses gossip and
quarrel in neighborly wise.
Nowhere are fisher folk more pictur-
esque in habit and costume. Nowhere
is there so salty a dialect, spiced with
such myria:l quaint and startling
phrases snd cxclamations. Bare and
brown of le. dressed in ragzed, parti-
colored mot.ey, a stout canvas band
about each :inewy body for hauling in
the net without cutting the hands to
pieces. they bring ashore their shim-
mering silver quarry right along the
widest. finest promenade in the city—
the handsome Via Caracciolo.
Across that broad street the charm-
ing Villa Nazionale—not a house, but
a public park. wholely conventional in
~ design—contains an aquarium whick
may fairly be considered the most re-
markable in the world for both the
variety and interest of its finny and
monstrous exhibits and the thorough-
ness of its scientific work. To it many
of the great universities contribute an-.
nually for the privilege of sending °
special investigators in zoology.
The commertial activity of this lar-
gest ‘city and second seaport of Italy
e¢lings closely about the skirts of the
enormous royal palace—800 feet long
on the bay side and ninety-five Feet
high—and the naval basin
yard. Every smell and sound of a
thriving seaport may be smelled and
heard, multiplied generously, every
flag seen on the ships at anchor near
the stone wharves.—A. 8. Riggs ia Na-
tional Geographic Magazine.
