 The hearing of testimony was con- cluded at the afternoon session of the court. Captain Qualtrough, appearing in his own tbehalf, swore he was Ill the night of the reception and drank only one glass of sherry.
 All the witnesses against the cap tain expressed the opinion that he was under the influence of intoxicants and unfit for duty.
 Surgeon Crandall of the Georgia one of the two witnesses for the defense, testified, that Captain Qualtrough's physical condition was low and that he. therefore. was very susceptible to the action of liquor and tobacco.
 The defense introduced as evidence the record of Captain Qualtrough's thirty-eight years service and two flat tering letters of recommendation re- ceived by him during the pfesenS cruise.
 The pleadings will be made tomor- row, but the decesion will not De off, cially given oat until 1t Is finally ap- proved. In the meantime, Captain Qualtrough will remain aboard the Georgia under arrest, not being al- lowed either on the bridge or the quarter deck.

Drew Bfii Rejectea.

Il. F Sacramento. Col. Feb. 3.--After a debate extending from Il o'clock this morning until 6 o'clock tonight. the Assembly. by vote of 4S to 2S, re-
 Jected the Drew bill barring aliens from owning land in California.
 The bill had been amended at the re- quest of President Roosevelt and Sec- retary Root. so that the clause ap-
 plying 1t to Japanese only was eiim-
 mated making the bin apply to all aliens. but. the measure aroused such a storm of opposition that iong>before the debate was closed by Mir. Drew. II was apparent that the measure would be defeated.
 In substance the objection to, it was that 1t would drive at least a billion dollars of foreign capital out of the State and might 5eopafdIze the present friendly relations with Japan The supporters of the bill contended that the State was being overrun by thrifty Japanese. who were gradually gaining an inpregnable position as land owners, and whose Government garding iegislation.
 Two sensational speeches were made. one for and one against the naeas- ure. s. N Y Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento. x-congressman and aus thor of four bills sesresating Japan ese in schools and residential districts and preventing aliens being members of corporations. made an impassioned appeal for the enactment of the. bilL
 At e.ciimax of his speech he walked back and from his seat to the lobby rail, and seizing inShis arms a goIden- haired girl of three. held har aioft ana declared that he was fin favor of this, as opposed to the Japanese menace to. 4aa& .AlN Na..k na-.. H . f
 Nathan J. Cole of San Francisco. who was elected with the ehdofsenlenf of the union labor party. opposed tho Drew bill on the ground that 1t was tn conflict with the state constifution; that 1t was inimIcai to union labor, and that it was not favored by the national administration. which, he said, was dealing with a delicate problem and should be supported by the people of California. 1
 Concerning Assembiyman Drew. he said:
 .1f President Roosevelt should throw open the doors of this Assembly cham Der. and laying his hand on your shoul- der. should request. for reasons of State. that you withdraw this bill. you. Mr. Drew. as a patriotic citizen of the United States. would assent with out a murmur. 2
 In reply. Mir. Drew. closing his argu- ment for the day. declared that he had received letter from the President in which he stated he was not opposed to the bill as 1t had been amended at his request.
 In his opening remarks this morning, Mir. Drew said that already there were in California s40.o00 Japanese, most of whom had belonged to the Japan ese army who could be mobtlfzed at a moments notice in case of an dpris- ing.

Roosevelt today sent for Senators tNewlands and Nixon, of Nevada. and lBorah. of Idaho. and talked over the Japanese situatoin with them.
 Tine President felt that he would not take any action relative to the work of the lower house of the Ne vada Legislature in denouncing the Japanese but despite the fact that the two Nevada Senators would not talk st ts understood they took away with them requests to get into touch with the members of the Nevada Senate and stop further progress of the res- olution now before that body.
 The fact that Senator Newlands Is Q Democrat and Senator Nixon a Repub- lican makes 1t possible to influence the State Senate to the extent of hold ing tip the resolution that has gone through the House.
 Senator Borah's visit was to tell the President that he did not look for any outbreak ins his State, such as in Ne- vada. After leaving the White House. Senator Nixon sent the following tele- gram to the President of the Nevada Senate and the Speaker of the Assem- ply:

GILLETTE SITS ON TIE LID

San Francisco, Feb. 3.--with two na- tiens stirred to a fever pitch over the anti-Japanese measures of two States the people of California are beginning to wake up and ask what 1t is all about. s
 The Noutburst of the Nevada Begisla- ture was unexpected, but 1t has not caused a great deal of comment in this State. With the exception of the Asiatic Exclusion League. no one is engaging in the light.
 But these facts are not generally accepted as an Indication that the .peo- pie of the State ara not genuinely in Eefested in the Oriental race prob lem. The interest of the agricultur- fstssis indicated by the bin to prohibit the ownership of property which was sntroduced by A. N. Drew of Fresno, .the center Of one. of the largest or ehard and vineyard districts of the State. The other bills were intro duced by Grove l. Johnson, who halls from the Sacramento Valley. where tlae Japanese are regarded with consid- seEabIe hostility by the people Of all cIasses.
 the acquisition in late years by the yspanese of large tracts of orchard and garden lands. The criticisms of xhe Eastern press on the anti-Japan- csc feeling in this state has aroused q atorm of protest from the papers of California. The California papers com uiain that the real attitude of the peo- pie of this State is not understood ln the East Most of these papers re- gard the exclusion of the Japanese to be both necessary and inevitable and they express the fear that the action of the State Legislature will retard. rather than advance this solution of khe problem.
 This morning The San Francisco Chronicle complains that the feeling against California In the East is en- ItLrely based on two main motives. both sordid--one is to keep. solid with Japan and thereby promote the sale of cotton goods and kerosene. no matter ct what cost to the unfortunate people pf the Pacific coast, and the other is to force Congress to make heavier ap- propriations for the army and navy"
 The Chronicle predicts the exclusion Of Japanese by domestic law as the only logical solution of the problem.
 In the meantime, Governor Gillette and Speaker Stanton of the Assembly hre sitting on the lid, which Is ex- pected to lift at Sacramento. Both of these officials say there will be no anti Japanese measures passed. but tho friends of the bills are equally certain that they will succeed in passing the bills.
