HAWKINS WILL STICK.
WASHINGTON COUNTY WILL STAND BY
HIM TO THE END.

White Makes a Proposition for Arbitration,
but it is Refused Both Names to Go On
the Ticket-Colonel Hazards Rapid
Change of Opinion.
The Washington County Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee held meeting in Wash
ington yesterday to consider the res pectivc
claims OF S. P. White and Colonel Hawkins
as Senatorial candidates from the Forty
sixth Washington Beaver) district.
Chairman Marshall presented Colonel
Hawkins side OF the case, while Mr.. White
pleaded his own suit.
After long discussion the committee de-
cided unanimously to stand by their candi-
date, Colonel Hawkins, and to print the
names of both candidates upon the regular
Republican tickets.
Mr.. White was in Pittsburg yesterday.
He states that he made these two PROPOSE
tions to Colonel Hawkins, both of which
were refused:
First-That the claims of both candidates for
the Senatorial nomination in the Forty-slXth
district he referred to the County Chairmen OF
Washington and Beaver, and IL they could not
agree they were to select a third man, and the
decision of the majority should be final; pro.
vided, that the third member of the committee
be not a resident of the district, and it was un-
derstood that one or the other of the contest.
ants was to be selected.
Second-That the matter oe referred to a
committee of three Pennsylvania County
Chairmen, one to be named by the Washington
County Chairman, the other by the Beaver
Chairman, and the third to be selected by the
two members OF the committee, and the noml-
nation to be given to one of the contestants.
In making the above propositions, Mr..
White says his object was to secure the
election of a Republican State Senator.
Both having been refused by Colonel Haw-
kins, he feels that he has done ali that he
can, and the responsibility for the result
must go where it belongs.
A rather amusing story is told in connec-
tion with this fight, which shows how quick
ly politician changes his opinion.
Colonel Hawkins came to Pittsburg one
morning last week in the same train which
was carrying Colonel Chill Hazard to a
conference with Senator Quay.
'How are you getting along in your
fght?" asked Hazard of Hawkins.
"Well, L am still in it. What would you
advise me to do about it?"
"Oh, stick, by all means" replied Colonel
Hazard.
As Colonel Hawkins was returning home
in the evening he met another friend who
asked him what he intended to do.
II am going to stick, replied Hawkins.
"Well, L saw Hazard this afternoon,
replied the friend, "and he told me you had
better get out OF the fight"
"Hazzard told you that? Why, it was
only this morning he told ME to stick, and
I'm going to stick"

A NEW THEATER
MAY BE EVOLVED FROM THE CYCLIC.
RAMA BUILDING.

Movement to Make the Change-It Would
Insure an Auditorium That Would Rival
Chicago's for Size-But a Small Increase
ofCapital Needed.
There is a prospect that Allegheny may
have theater that will not only rival all
of those in Pittsburg for size, bu.
Chicago's monster Auditorium. The
project is to transform the Cyclorama
building into playhouse. The
exhibition Of the historic picture, ''The Bat
tle of Gettysburg" has been found to have
lost its value as an attraction. 1t has been
on exhibition for about four years.
The company has decided TO close the Cy-
clorama January /, and nave been on the
alert for something to take its place. A
theater has been suggested. and the figures
are now being looked up.
Mr.. Fred She'll, the manager of the
Cyclorama, has been, at one time or another,
connected with several theatrical ventures,
and now owns a success,u nj play. He says
the building would make grand play
house. When Thomas Keene was in Pitts
burg, he was talking with Mr.. She'll about
the show business, and said that so many
new theaters in Pittsburg would overdo the
business, and it seemed very strange to him
that town of 105, 900 population, like Allie
gheny, cannot afford theater.
Last evening Mr.. She'll showed a DIS
PATCH reporter through the building and
explained its adaptability for theater.
The building is about 475 feet in circum-
ference. 1t has been learned from figures
on another building Of the same size that
with 60-foot circus ring in the center, the
structure would seat $1,000 people. The
Cyclorama Company owns an adjacent lot
that would do for the stage extension. The
acoustics Of the building are all right and
it would need a couple of galleries, the
central seating and stage to make theater.
The inside space is as great as that of the
Chicago Auditorium, and would make a
theater one-third larger than the Metropoli-
tan of New York. It is thought that the
alterations and additions can be made for
$40, 900, or on grand scale for two times
that amount
One advantage for the prospective new
theater is that it is possible to have exits on
all sides. Another advantage is the central
location Of the building and its accessibility
ming near it.

STILL IN THE RING.
BENG0uGH AND HAZZhRD ASKED TO
MAKE WAY FOR MGILl.

They Cannot See 1t in That Light, and Are
Still Pushing Their Claims for the PEN
sion Agency-A Delegations Unprofita-
BILE Visit to Secretary Noble.
The struggle for Pension Agent Barclay S
official shoes is becoming quite interesting.
Captain McGill, who represents the north
end OF Allegheny county, is said to be backed
by Congressman Buyne and Colonel w. A.
Stone, and, perhaps, Senator Quay
H. H. Benough, OF the City Treasurer's
office, has the Endorsement of a majority of
his old comrades in this end of the State. in
addition TO that of Congressman DalZell.
He also hopes that Senator Quay is not hos
tile to him.
Colonel Chill Hazard, the third man in
the contest, is also said to be banking some
on the Junior Senator. Local G. A. r. men
say that most of Hazards Endorsements by
old soldiers come from the Eastern end Of
the State, and will not have so much weight
as II they came from the men who are di-
rectly interested in the administration of the
office.
A few DAYS ago some of Captain McGill's
friends went 10 Washington and paid a visit
to Secretary Noble. The latter was asked
for this district Immediately, and upon the
merits of the applications and Endorsements
now on file with the Department OF the In
terror.
Secretary Noble looked grave for a mo-
ment and then said: Gentlemen, in the first
place the appointment cannot be made in
such a summary manner, and, in the next
place, if the appointment were made on the
merits of the papers filed. think it would
go to Mr.. Bengough."
''Oh, that will be all right" replied the
delegation, Eve will have Mr.. Bengough
indorse Mr.. McGills application.
well" said the Secretary, "if the other
candidates withdraw, of course there will be
no trouble iu making the appointment"
The delegation returned to Allegheny
county and Immediately forwarded requests
to Messrs. Hazard and Bengough to with
draw from the confess.
Mr.. Bengough was seen yesterday, and
while averse to talking about his candidacy
for the pension agency, stated most em-
phatically that he was still in the ring, and
proposed TO stay there until after the ap-
poIntment is made.
Colonel Hazard was not seen, but il is
generally understood that he is still In the
push.

AN EXPLODED SENSATION.
A Southside Congregation Falsely Reported
to be Going Down.

A Southside Congregation Falsely Reported
to be Going Down.
A considerable amount of unnecessary
excitement was created on the Southside
last night by the circulation of report to
the effect that the South Nineteenth Street
Baptist congregation was about to be broken
up. 1t was reported that the deacons had
met Oh Friday evening for the purpose of
expelling somebody from the church, and
that their action would have the effect of
breaking up the congregation.
A careful inquiry among the members of
the church last night disclosed the fact that
the difficulty was not 50 serious. In fact
there Is no trouble at all. The deacons did
meet, but the purpose of their meeting was
to consider whether thev should allow their
pastor, Rev. J. w. Riddle. leave the charge
to accept an offer from Western congrega-
ton. Mr.. Riddle has been pastor o. the
church Tor six years The congregation is
in deb: ana the pastor has often said he
would not leave until the mortgage could
be lifted. But a congregation in the
vicinity of Chicago has offered him
$500 a year. and as the Southside
people only pay him 81, 500 there was feel
ing among the members that his salary
should either be raised or he should be al
lowed to accept the new position. The &C.
tion of the deacons will be reported to the
congregation to-day. g.

WHEN THE WAR REALLY BEGAN.

Decision That April 15, 1861, Was the First
Day of the Rebellion.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
WASHINGTON, October 25.-The act of
last September, which provided for the re-
tirement of enlisted soldiers after 80 years
service, with double pay for their service
during the rebellion, presented an interest
ing question for decision, namely, as to the
precise duration of the rebellion.
The War Department has now decided
this point, and has decreed that April Is,
1861. was the official first day of the rebel
lion and May 1. 1866, the last day. The
first call for volunteers forms the basis for
the selection of the first date, and the sec
ond date was officially determined upon by
act Of Congress in 1884.
