The Cadets are the people '* Forty-six
Macon feet came down on tho $3,000
prize this evening. At 5:30 o'clock the
four companies who had competed in the
interstate contest lined up before Judges
Anderson, McMahone and Slocum. Sev
eral fancy movements were gone through
•with, and then Adjutant Morello an
nounced the result of the contest As
he shouted, “Southern Cadets first prize
in the interstate content,” tremendous
cheering came from the bleaching boards,
which were filled with klscon people.
M. G. Putaall, lfnsterson, Wilder and
Bunkley were sitting by me when tho
the decision was made, As the word
“Southern” was pronounced they real
ized that their bets and tho record of
Macon's pets were safe, and they started
tbs cheering which drowned the volet of
Morello.
ATLANTA RIFLES SECOND.
men the hubbub was hushed, the
judges announced the Atlanta Rifles for
the second place and tha Gate City
Guards for third. The friends of tho
Atlanta Rifles, and the Rifles, too, had
been confident of winning the first place.
So great was their confidence that every
nickel that they could scrape bad been
staked. To tell the truth, all Jackson-
wile was betting on the Rifles for first
.place, and the announcement of the
jtiouthern Cadets for the first place made
many Atlanta hearts sad and hundreds
4>f their pockets empty. The Rifles,
however, took their medicine, and lined
«p for second place. For the third time
'they have met the Cadets and hare gone
home kicking themselves for daring to
enter against Capt Sims' darlings. The
Gate City Guards took the third place
without showing disappointment. They
came down here, 1 learn, more for a
pleasure trip than to carry back money.
The Guards say that they made very
little preparation for the drill, and cared
nothing about winning first money.
J have said, Capt Sneed brought his men
down more to,recreate than to win

FLEMING AGAINST I'lIELA.N.
OP I'NSOl ND 7IIND.
Dr, Westmoreland Will lie Sent to
the Asjlum.
Atlanta, April 11.—(Special]—Dr.
W, F. Westmoreland, Sr., principal
physician of the penitentiaiy and the
most distinguished surgeon, perhaps,
that the South has yst produced, was to
day brought before a commission de
lun.it ico inquirendo and adjudged of
unsound mind. Tho case is a lamentable
one. The doctor will lie sent to the state
asylum.
The evidence adduced was of A char
acter to render it clear that disease had
not only affected the famous snrgeon’s
niind but that hia present mental con
dition rendered him dangerous.
It is hoped that rest will relieve tbs
difficulty, but for the present, »t least
the state has been deprived of the ser
vices of a valuable official
L)r. Westmoreland was some seven or
eight years ago inoculated with blood
poison while performing an operation in
disaecting a subject. Since then he has
nevor thoroughly recovered. His condi
tion has been particularly feeble during
the past five or six months. Only during
the period last mentioned has he shown
signs of mental weakness, hut
in tho course of those months
•veryfew weeks symptoms would
appear. (The last which attacked
him was longer and more marked than
the others. He first developed abnormal
irritability toward those near him, and
those with whom be corns in contact out
side.
Than he became suspicious of persons
in whom he had before felt the greatest
confidence. In proportion to his former
trust his recent distrust appeared to dis
play itself. Of his son Willis, in whom
liis hopes were centered and who has
risen high in bio profession and fully
justified thoae hopes, he evinced espe
cial distrust and suspicion. He thought
the son and others ware conspiring against
him to destroy his practice, to get hie
money, and otbsrwi— to work him in-
Sore than once the doctor has at
tempted acta of violence. Toward his
son, two assistant physicians and a
trusted negro employe he seems to have
cherished particular animosity, and on
one occasion a patient came in for a
-hare of khune and waa attacked. Liter
he obtained a pistol and threatened to
kill bis son ana others. Several other
violent acts of the tame kind are cred
ited to the doctor; but public rumor lias
greatly exaggerated the case.
Dr. Westmoreland's statement was
very clear before the commission this
morning until he began to speak of thoso
loves best. Then his malady broko
and absurd charges were mode. Ono
(in regard to his son’s removing his
furniture, when the ovidenco showed
that nothing of tbo kind had ever oc
curred.
In both military and civil service Dr.
i estmon-Und hat acquitted himself
ith di li zuishe 1 ability. The Atlanta
Medical Co.U-g-\ an institution thirty-
two years oil, owes its success chiefly to
* *e reputation.
The governor this morning appointed
. li. \ . M. Mill, r to mi o-.-d l»r. West-
land, owing t<> tho latter’s foeble
health requiring that he should bo re
lieved oi toe uutics of the office, Dr.
Miller was Dot on applicant, lie will

ment.
DISPUTE BETWEEN TENNESSEEANS
THAT ALMOST MADE A DUEU
II Is *at<! glint Firming (no Harshly
< rlllrlsrd A Rook tt rHten li) Phe
lan, Rut Jlr. Phelan Contends
this Would not .Anger Him.
Washington, April 11.—Congress
man Phelan has furnished for publica
tion a statement of his difficulty with
Col Fleming of Knoxville, in which he
says: “Every man is willing to bear the
burden of his own follies, but is roost
impatient and restive under the weight
of those which are fictitious. I could
(tossilily bear having it said that a man
in tho prime of life, to whom I had sent
a hostile tnevsage, was a septuagenarian,
but to have it gihvely said by a paper
of the widest circulatiou that I had
challenged a man fur harshly criticising
a book 1 had written is indeed too much
oven for the most forbearing.”
PHELAN DIDN’T FEAR FLKMINO.
To show how utterly groundless this
statement is, Phelan describes the origin
the quarrel substantially as has been
published and then sav» that it struck
him, when he read Fleming’s letter
written after his (Phelan's) letter of re
traction and apology, that Fleming had
one or two ideas in his mind. Either
that my scrupulous politeness
was founded upon fear of him
that he was determined
to force a difficulty. He spoke of my

tent him a message which, it teemed to

1 addreteed this personally to
hint. I expected a reply which
would be a challenge to me or enable me
tn tend him a challenge, for my message
was not s challenge. Fleming, however,
held my message for two days and then
published it. From one who had teemed
ao anxious to force me to the wall I did
not expect a plea that ho ignored “the
code.”
DOES NOT DEFEND THE CODE.
Now I do not undertake to defend the
so-called code. Its barbarity is still an
issue between England and the en
tire continent of Europe. I frankly
confess I can find no more
excuse for “tho code” than
for anything two wt
violence or personal injury, but 1 have
nover been able to too tho non) distinc
tion between doing another a malicious
miichief forbidden by tho laws of God
ana offering an expiation forbidden also
by tho laws of man. lint 1
do regard its laws os purely conven
tional und only binding on those who
voluntarily assume them. 1 have tho
highest admiration for tho moral courage
of the man whose whole lifo of justice
to others and upright intercourse with
hie fellow-men justifies him in repudiat
ing a resort to violence. But when a
repudiation of tho code is used as a
shield to protect ono who is anything but
just to other*, and whose every anion ts
malicious and domineering, and who is
unexperted'y checked tn tho role of a
Lull/ *Uil cries wilt sgsiTiS* it, 1 uaiut-
ally imagine that a fear of injury to per-
and au impulse of cowardice invests
so-called “codo” with a degreo of
barbarity which is convenient if not ad
tuirable.
UADE 1IIMSELF RIDICULOUS.
That I acted hastily in sending r. mes
sage designed to elicit a challenge to
who ignores tbo code 1 readily admit.
But, having been warned to “handle
him carefully,” 1 assumed that the
bullying tone of hia refusal to accept a
hearty apology waa the result, among
other contingencies, of overweening
personal courage. The refusal to accept
my apology on the pert of a man
w i torn 1 supposed to be brave
filled me with inexpressible
humiliation at which I now smile. Col
Fleming, in his answer, says: “I have
made myself ridiculous. Tbit is true,
t>ut then 1 did nut know Cot. Fleming os
1 do now. He refers to the fact that a de
nunciation follows tl.e refusal to accept a
challenge. I did not challenge
him. If 1 had and he had entered hie
plea of contempt for the code I should
certainly do as 1 now do, having ac
cepted his estimate of the code tn tbo
{■ending issue. Aa fur “posting" him, 1
think that even the desire to
this nd;culoua allair would
h.ivr j' i r* i tied till',
posted himself. 1 ara ready to accept
the verdict of those who reject the coJs
that 1 acted la a manner that
unjustifiable. But m view
the bullying to which 1 was
subjected and m view of the scornful
and insulting refusal u> accept an un
equivocal and frank apology 1 think 1
can safely say 1 can lease to that portion
of the world which is brave* just and
generous to say whether what I did
was without pail la lion. Certainly CoL
Fleming's pfca that be would not fight a
duel to put an end to all controversy be

The Country Killers I pon the Second
Qiiurler With Lreat Ilopefnlness—
Iron IsSiiH Repressed, UutKugar
Is Firm lliislnes* Failures.
New York, April JL—R. G. Dun &
Co.'a weekly review of trade says:
With a larger tonnage in motion than
in any previous year at the same season,
a larger volume of currency in active
circulation, larger payments through tho
clearing houses by nearly 10 per cent,
larger imports and exports, and larger
domestic production in agriculture, in
iron and steel, leather and boot and shoe
manufacture, the country has entered
upon the second quarter of tho year with
great hopefulness. Trade throughout
the country seems gradually improving.
Several failures with unpleasant features
havo disturbed confidence. Winter
wheat has sustained soma injury from
the unnatural season.
The ware of railroads grow more
threatening to the investor. At the
same time labor disturbances begin to
menace important industries.
INCREASE OF UNSOLD IRON.
Tha iron industry has advanced too
rapidly. The expected set-back has be
gum The furnaces in blast April 1 were
of 178,000 tons weekly output against
180,000 March 1 and 148,000 a year ago.
The production for tha quarter may be
estimated at 3,250,000 tons against
,900,000 a year ago. The stocks
on band are accumulating. At nineteen
Soutliern furnaces in March tho increase
in unsold iron on hand was equal to 80
per cent, of thalr entire output.
LOWER PRICES IN IRON.
Prices ara lower, Southern No. 1 being
offered at $17.50 and Northern at $18,
while bids of $33 are sought for steel
rails. Business in bar iron is better with
no change in prices. Plates are moving
at very unsatisfactory prices, ana
structural iron is not as active as makers
wish.
THE ORA1N MARKETS.
Speculative markets have been more
active with higher range of prices on
whole. Hales of wheat advanced 2]
cents* Corn is also half a cent stronger,
with salsa for tha week of 11,000,000
bushels and oats nearly one cent higher.
MOVEMENTS IN SUOAR.
Sugar has been firmly held; support-
era of the trust calculating that no
change will be mails in duties. Reports
from other cities are more generally fa
vorable than usual.
At tbs South, outside of the direct
floods, trad* is rood and Imm tim* is
asked than usualT
THE MONETARY MARKET.
Tho monetary situation does not threat
en. Exports of products are falling off
a little, while Imports continue large, so
that in the absence of foreign purchases
of securities, gold exports may occur,
but for some time to come the money
market is likely to bo wrll supplied.

ance in Harris county. According to

ngston delivered one of his aJlianco
iporches, which was wtll received by tho
brgs audience, gathered together from
all jarte of the county. He touched on
the many grievances thst affect the
farmers, tracing them to the
financial system of this government,
showing, or rather cootsnding, thst no
good fruit can tw produced by so corrupt
a system. He next spoke of the effect
on the agricultural citesee of tbs protect

for the evile hie sub-treasury plan. It u

his connection with th« alliance was so

their entire theory, still the fairness of
the Hon. U F. Livingston's speech had
commended tho plan to his favorable
consideration.

to present hie claims to the goal people
of this county as a candidate for corn-
mktiooer or agriculture. Hia muse
waa to educate tho people in specific

and to that end ask that the legislature
found an agricultural ochool, charging
tho misapplication of duties to the agri

of farming, and then devoted a few mo
