Carl Loewenstoln, who announced forty
seven conoerts for the present season, has re
tired from tho management of them, and Is
aald to be 111 with nervous prostration. It Is
probable that tew ot tha concerts will bo

two Bunday night oonoerts In tha same place,
to begin next weak. The orahettra was heard
under Mr.Pa.ur'a direction for tba first time at
i Oarnoglo Hall last (Saturday night.
' The extent ot Mr. Loawonsteln's enterprises
was surprising to .everybody. .Ho is a new

financially successful. The Sunday night con-
Serta announced at Carnegie Hall will bq aban

will be responsible tor them. Mr.Pnur ex

Julius 'Lehmann. who la Mt. Loswenstetn's
i attorney, aald that tha oxpenso.pt the large

tions had prored too muoh for him,
"The opera has this year absorbed tha atten
tion of the publlo." ba aald. "and therp was
little demand for seats at the subscription,
concerts or at the others. The death of Anton
Belli also Interfered with Mr. Loewenateln's

SzThe orchestra engogod was a lanro one. con
taining nearly 100 players. But they play In
'other orchestras as well, and r. Loewensteln

Kxoxtiixe, Tenn., Oot. 31. Tho War Inves
tigating Commission has completed Its investi
gation of Southern camps and the majority of
tho members left to-night ovor the Southern
Hallway for Washington. Tho inspection has
beon thorough and attonded with Interesting
results. Numerous witnesses have been ex
amined afTdovory complaint has boenpntlontly
listened to, That perfection did not exist will
be admitted by tho report. It Is rcporttd that
ipmo features ot tho military campaign meet
with tho unanimous disapproval of tho com
mission, but many charges have boon proved
groundless.
Flvo membors ot the commission reached
herefrom Chattanooga early yesterday morn--fttk.
Early this morning an Inspection was
raado of tho Fourth Tonnesseo Beglment and
the division 'hospital. Both wero found In ex
cellent condition and ovldoncod much care and
Judgment In managomont, Tho Fourth Ton
nossoo Boglmonthasboonin camphoro since
early la July and has not had a doatli from dis
ease. Contrary to army regulations, but in accord
with rocommondatldns made by Gon. Graham
boforo the War Commission in Washington,
sinks are locatod on tho opposite Bldo of the
camp fromjtbo kitchens, thereby lessoning tho
clangor of a spread of disease by flics. Tho
division hospital has 260 patients, represent
ing tho slcfc ot Boven regiments. It is la
cbargo of Major Uysoll, who testified boforo
tha commission In Washington. Trained
nureos and Cathollo sisters assist In tho caro
of tho sick. They all rooresontod that their
needs wore amply compiled with and that tho
sick had everything necessary.
Bub-oommlttees visited the other camps.
Gon. MoCook. escorted by Col. Euort. went to
the Second Ohio and Third North Carolina:
Gon. Wilson and Cant Howell, escorted by Col.
McMackln. lnspootod tho Sixth Ohio and First
Wost Virginia, and Gon. Boavor and Gov. Wood
bury, accompanied by Col. Bchnbel. visited tho
Thirty-first Michigan and Sixth Virginia.
Gon. Wilson and Capt, Howell tound the
Sixth Ohio in good condition except as to tent
age. This was brought v, lth them from Ohio,
and Col. HcMaokon, the regimental command
er, exnlalned that they had tontago. but in, an
ticipation of bolng moved to somoothor place
had deolded not to put It up. .
The First West Virginia Beglment, under
Col. Splllman, appeared In excellent condition,
and so did tho Third North Carolina and Seo
ond Ohio, but Gen,.McCook discovored that
to supply of stores was limited, and tho
North Carolina troops, who ore colored, com-
rilalned of the cold. There was n complaint In
he Second Ohio, oxcept as to tautaea and lack
ot stores. A great many expressed a desire to
go home. In thoSlxth Ohio a number ot men
have been discharged through political influ
ence, and Col. Meilaekon deplored this. At
the Second Ohio ltegiment. Gen. McCook
made an Informal address to the officers, in
which he said he was proud of Ohio, but felt
that one's native State should havo no higher
place in one's affections than the Union. The
charge up ban Juan Hill without artillery he
oharacterlzea as a font without parallel In mili
tary history. That it was successful was duo.
he said, to tho courage and efficiency ot men
and officers.
Gon. Beaver and Gov. Woodbury, reported
that tho Thirty-first Michigan and Sixth Ten
nessee woro well Bltuated and tho sanitary con
dition of tho camp was eood.
In tho afternoon Major John 0. F. Martin,
Chief Surgeon of the First Brigade. Second Di
vision, First Army Corns, was examined by
the commission. He was at Ohtokamauga dur
ing the summer, and jor a volunteer army, he
said, he could not soe how it could be better
managed. One difficulty in the getting of sun
pllos at Cam P.Thomas was that volunteer offi
cers wero not Informed bow to make put re
quisitions. He Kiii ha knew ot no lack ot
medical supplier at the depot. .
Replying to 'Jort Wilson, Maior Martin said
that In addition to his proftsslonal duties, he
looked after tbe sanitary condition of the bri
gade. When the camp broke up typhoid fever
had found so many victims that tho command
was demoralized. In his opinion the water
supply at Camp Thomas had something to do
with the spread ot disease. Ho spoke of Jay's
Mill Well, used by three reirlments. It was.
ha said, only eighteen feet deep, and drainage
from the Second Division hospital and the
sinks ran Into It The water In Chlokamaugn.
ho declared, was polluted b) drainage from
Bnodgrass Hill until Aug. 0. He sold ha told
Gen. Boynton thoCthore was too muoh sick
ness In the camp, too much typhoid fever.
"Gen. Boynton remarked: 'Why. tha com
manding General eajs thoro Is no typhoid
favor. I answered. 'There is typhoid fever,
and If ho says there is not. then the fnots
must have been suppressed.' ThlB was simply
a confidential talk between two gontlemen.
bat tbo next day I was ordered to appear at
headquarters, and was there Informed that
my remarks constituted Insubordination, and
I must retract or bo uourt-martlalled."
"Who sent for you?"asked Gen. Wilson.
"I was sent for by OoL Hartsufr. who oallod
me to account for my statement that the facts
were being suppressed. He said: "Why have
you not reported these things!' I ropllod
that I was about to make a report,, and he
asked: 'Did you say bo and so?' " , Major Mar
tin said he replied affirmatively, ond, ex
plained that It was not In a spirit ot criticism,
but Col Hartauff exclaimed; "Gen. Sheridan
Sgards your statement as insubordination."
e was then sent to Gon. Sheridan, and on re
peating tho statement, was ordered to retract
It or stand a court-martial. . , ,
Major Martin explained to the commission
that he considered the oondltion ot war and
felt that it would be well for him to retract tho
statement, although he retained his opinion.
He then wrote a letter to Gen. Sheridan re
tracting every word uttered. ... ,
Major Martin offered in support of his charge
about the water ot ChlckAmauga River a
statement signed by J. M. Daley, engineer of
the pumping station, who said that before Aug.
0 the drainage ran Into the oreek above the In
take pipe.
Major Park L. Myers, a surgeon ot tbe Sixth
Ohio, testlilod concerning conditions at Camp
Thomas. Dr. Myer referred to tho Becond
Division hospital at Camp Thomas 'and de
clared that In his opinion only 5 per cent, of
the coses were typhoid fever. Other doctors
diagnosed fully CO, 00 and 00 per cent, ot tho
cases as typhoid. He had seen sick men at
the hospital who for a while wore on the ground
on blankets and covered only by a fly sheet. In
his opinion no man seriously and permanently
suffered by reason of any medloal condition at
tho hospital.
Lleut-Col. Frederick Schubel of the Thlrty
Ilrst Michigan gave testimony about Camp
Thomas. Ho thought the ground assigned to
tho regiment was too limited. Tho site was In
tho woods, but two weeks before leaving Chicle -amaug
they were moved into the ooon. There
waB a Borainble for water at Jar's Mill well'
which was used continuously by thelmen. He
said It was unasMgned and he had seen men
standing there all day and all night, formed
In line, and tho pump was going continuously
for twonty-tour hours. Borne time in July It
was believed that tho water was Interfering
with tbe health ot the command and a guard
was placed over It. The regiment then used
water hauled from springs ton miles from tbe
camp.
Col. George L. Brown of the Fourth Tennes
seo and a Captain in the regular army said that
his men had had little Blckness, were well fed
and well clothed. The food was good and the
rations rather better than tha regular army
regulations. p
Col. Hiohard Croton of tbe Sixth Virginia
Volunteers and a Lieutenant in the regular
army complained of poor tentage and recom

Proposed New Department In tha Army,
with Gen. John I. Itoilgars at Its Head.
WasniNOTON, Oct. 01. A strong offart is be
ing made by Influential frionds ot Brlg.-Gon.
John L Rodger. U. S. V., to secure his reten
tion in tha volunteer servioa until Congress
meets. Gen, Bodgors was one ot tho gon oral
officers In the list recently lssuod ot those to
bo muttered out Tho effort has a broader ob
ject than tho retention ot Gen. Bodgors. It
contemplates tho enootmont ot legislation cre
ating a now staff department, with Gon. Rod
gers at Ita bond with tho rank and title ot
Brlgadler-Gonoral and Chief of Artillery. Tha
War Department Is apparently disponed to
grant tho requests ot Gon. Rodgers's frionds
and is said to be In favor ot creatine tho now
department.
The establishment of a separate artillery
staff ooros of tho regular army would result In
a division ot tho work now entirely in tho
hands of tho Ordnanco Department, and for
that reason it Is expoctod that opposition will
eomft from ordance officers. Those who want
tho now corps created contend that there will
bo plenty of work for tho Ordnanco Dopart-
Jiont to do after tho division haB beon mado.
t is pointed out In behalf of an artillery staff
corps that tho function of the Ord
uanco Department is the manufacture
and testing of guns, Artlllorymon now
havo no volco In tho solectlon of tho
ordnanco which thoy aro required to operate,
and thoy bellovo thoy should deoldo on tho
typos of guns to bo used by thorn. Ono argu
ment mado in bohalf of a separate artillery
staff corps Is that whon.a now type of small
arm Is to bo introduced n board of Infantry
officers ts appointed to mako tbo soleotlon. ,
Gen.Rodgers Is Colonel of the Fifth Rogular
Artillery. In tho Porto Rlfcan Drtmpnlgn ho was
