 BILL PASSED IN SENATE
With Literaey Test and Asiatic Ex-
 cIusion Provisions Unchanged.

Washington, March s0.-The Bur nett immigration bill, with its Hteracy test and Asiatic exclusion provisions unchanged, passed the house late to- day by a vote of sos 70 ST. It now goes to the senate, where favorable action is regarded as assured
 The literacy test, about which the fight against the bill had centered, was sustained, 284 to 1O7. This provision has been the cause of vetoes of simi- lar immigration bills by Presidents Cleveland, Taft and Wilson. The house passed the bill over the Cleveland ye- to, but 1t failed in the senate. Motions to override the vetoes of Presidents Taft and Wilson were lost in the house by narrow margins. Representative Burnett, chairman of the immigration committee, predicted tonight that there was sufficient strength to re-pass the bill in the event of another veto. The president has not indicated his purpose to the househ leaders.
 Both record votes-both on the lit eracy test and on the passage of the bill-were without regard to party lines. Majority Leader kitchin voted for the literacy test and for the bill. Minority Leader Mann voted against the literacy test and then for the bill
