LONDON, Nov. 25.-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
has instructed the English delegates to
the Brussels conference to expedite the
deliberations 50 as to bring the conference
to an end within a few weeks. 1t is
learned from high authority that if the
conference is prolonged beyond three
weeks the leading English representa-
uves would return to London, leaving
the less important member to watch the
proceedings. AdviceS from Brussels
show opposition to prolonged debates
opened with the English delegation.
They only finally consented to sitting on
each alternate day on finding they stood
alone. The incident has created the i'm
preston among members Of the confer
ence and Brussels officials that the Brit
ish delegates want to break up the meet
ing or cause it to fail to achieve definite
results. They received a decisive check.

Gladstone will return to Hawarden on
Thursday. Though the Cabinet does not
resume councils until January, the Min

Unprecedented, but an unmistakabIe
symptom OF general apprehension of the

pared for Parliament.
Lord Rosebery, British Foreign Secre-

Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.


TACOMA (Wash.), Nov. ga Ledger
special from Arlington. Or, says: Three
men. identified as members of the gang
who robbed the Roslyn Bank in Septem-
Der last and secured $4,000, arrived here
to-day in charge of Sullivan and deputies
OF IAlePs Detective Agency, having been
captured in the mountains. They are
desperate characters and for years have
been terror to the people living in the
vicinity. They are believed to be the
same gang who robbed two other banks
during the past year in a similar manner.
Officers are now in pursuit of the balance
OF the gang and expect 10 capture them i'll
a lew days. An effort was made by con-
tederates to rescue the prisoners, but
failed. The prisoners were taken west
this afternoon on the train to Portland.
MEAGER DETAILS OF THE CAPTURE.
PORTLAND orr, Nov. 25.-Word
reached here this evening from Airing
ton, Gillian County, Or, that three of the
hVe men who robbed the First National
Bank at Roslyn on September 23d last,
had been captured in the hills near there
Only meager details of the capture have
been received at ThiePs Detective Agency
in this city.
1t is learned that a posse Of about
twenty-five men, consisting of the Sher-
IFS OF surrounding counties and num-
Der OF ThieFs men, was formed on Sun
Gay last, and started in pursuit of the
men, who had been located by detectives
The entire band of robbers, whose head
quarters are known TO be in Gill
lam County, number twenty or twenty
hve. 1t Is thought they have been oper-
aung all over the Pacific Coast, robbing
banks and holding up trains.
The first clue to the rendezvous Of the
gang was obtained by finding a horse
which one of the robbers had left near
EIlensburg. After some time it was as
ceTtained that the animal was owned in
Gillian County. After following the
trail of the robbers several days the posse
came upon them and an engagement took
place, in which it is supposed one of the
robbers was wounded. Next day RAGS
with which the men had dressed the
wounds were found. This clue was fol-
lowed up and it was learned that the
robbers went toward the Columbia
River.
From the accounts of the capture re-
celved 1T Is supposed that the posse came
upon the three men when they were of
guard and captured them without re-
sistance. Itwas feared that the remainder
OF the gang would attempt to rescue the
prisoners, as they are known to be well
armed and desperate. The three men
were identified by DIR. Lyons, who was
in the ROslyn Bank at the time of the
robbery. He passed through this city
yesterday, having been summoned to
identify the men in case their capture
was effected.

ditlon IS again the subject of universal
interest to-day, made 50 by the publica-
ton OF statements that his ailment had
taken turn for the worse, and his life
was IN imminent danger If the ply
sIcians and members OF his family are to

gestion followed, and there was fever in

Notwithstanding the reports TO the CON
trary, it can be said that Blaine has
shown no signs of mental alteration or
delirium.
There has been much difficulty en-
tered IN the effort TO get reliable news as
to his condition, and it has fostered the
origin and spread of the exaggerated
stones Of his condition. 1t is learned

Dobbs Knocked Out by Barron in the
Second Round.


Second Round.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Jim Barron.
the Australian lightweight, made his first
appearance in this country in pugilistic
role at the California Athletic Club to-
night, his opponent being Robert Dobbs
(colored Of Denver. The purse for which
the men contested was 81 900. Dobbs'
seconds were Billy Hennessy, al Long
and the Montana Kid. Barron's were
George Mckenzie, Arthur Walker and
Charles Nelson. Dohbs weighed in at I37
and Barron at 1873. The latter looked thin
for a big man. The men were evenly
matched as to hight and reach.
Dobbs rushed from the start, but fought
wildly. Barron turned the tables on him
in the second round, and kept the coIored
man running. Barron caught him near
the ropes and dropped him with a right
handler on the jaw. Dobbs fell fiat on his
back, and though he struggled up, he was
late, and the decision was given to Bar
ron amid cries of fake" from dissatis-
hed spectators.
Barron was the favorite 20 to l3 when
the fight began.
The result was discussed with much
heat by friends of the pugilists and the
spectators generally. The opinion of the
best judges, including Referee Jordan ais
that the knockout was genuine. The
question that agitated majority of the
spectators was whether or not Dobbs in
vlted il purposely. lie displayed poor
judgment at the best, and though he
caught the Australian right-hander un-
der the jaw, nearly dropping him. and
followed it with another, cutting his face
and drawing blood in the first round, he
lett himself open repeatedly, and in such
Il manner that the Australian, who
pressed him hard in the second round,
could not fail 10 find him. His friends
claim rushing fight was his best chance
