General Arolas ordered the troops to re-

efforts had been made to instruct regi-
mental officers In the matter of sanitation
and he thought this instruction had borne
fruit. Gen. Breckinridge expressed the
opinion that Chickamauga park was
suitable as camp site, but the want
OF potable water was deiect, he was
of the opinion that the water could
have been vastly improved II there had
been a willingness to go off the reserva-
tion for it. The great share Of his atten .
tion had been given to getting tie men
away from Cbiokamauga.
Gen. Breckinridge said that the con-
dition of all the hospitals at Camp
Thomas except Sternbsre, was bad. They
were crowded and there was lack of
skill on the part of the attendants. He
also thought the quartsrmaster depart
ment hau been ramisS in some of its du
ties. but he attributed all the trouble to
a. want of experience.
Dr. Connor made an effort to get Gen.
Breckinridge to say where the responsi-
camp, but the latter said that ne nad
never attempted to locate the response
biltty, devot1ng himself particularly to
remedying the evils.
The chief trouble -eemed to be that the
hospital attendants were not familiar
with heir duties and that there was not
O suM lent number of men in tine supply
tendants and instruct them.'
He said the war department. was appar-
entity unprepared Tor the epidemic, as
were the men on the ground.
IF you could DO what you did, could
not Gen. Brooke have done the same
thing two months before?" DR.. Connor
asked.
II don't think he had the sick, the
witness responded. Later Gen. Wilson
asked practically the Same question and
Con. Breckenridge replled:
II have no doubt that If aroused. as
was, to the necessity. he could h We done
as much as did. The indications were
probably more marked to me than to my
predecessors because NY experience as
inspector general prepared me especially
for detecting eonditiong which might
escape others. Consequently there was
a condition there which l DO not believe
was conceived by those preceding me-.
Ret .rning to the question of p asses to
visit Chattanooga, DR.. Connor asked II
the conditions in that oity were not such
as to injure the morale of the army.
Gen. Breckenridge replied that such was
the case, . But you cannot make prison
out of camp"
Continuing, he said the town was run
s'Wide open,n and 1T was impossible to
keep the men In their camp under the
circumstances.
Gen. Breckinridge said that there was
such division of duties and esponsl-
bilities that 1t was difficult at times to
know to whom to give instructions.
Gen. Breckenridge had not concluded his
testimony when the commission ad-
jour ned for the day.

grapbed the following to the Associated
Press from Cassona, Nevada:
1.-The Nevada legislature is composed of
forty five members on joint ballot. The

Washing ton, November 14.-The Wash
ineton Post states that the war tax will
not be abolished at tue coming short ses-
sion of Congress and tnat there will be- no
revision of the tariff whatever. 1t bases
this announcement upon the positive
statement made to it today by Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means commit
tee who in an interview, said:
The govern ent will need for some
me all the revenue produced by the war
tlxes. During the month of October the
war expenditures exceeded the war reve-
nues by some Sl4,000,o00 and tits month
they will be $4,000, Oe0 in excess. This
being the case there will be no change
at least in this hsoal year. The war
revenue act will continue in force and
unchanged except perhaps in few minor
administrative features for at least a
year longer.

will be no revision of the tariff, alth ough
