THE WASHINGTON BUDG EFT.
Considering Reciprocity Treaty Be-
tween United states and Canada
Discriminating Duties Against
Mexican Shipping Suspend.
ed-The New Russian
Minister.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Definite arrange
ments have been made for taking up the
subject of the reciprocity treaty between
the United States and Canada, and meet
ings have been fixed between John W.
Kasson, who is especially delegated by
President Mckinley to conduct the reci-
prooity negotiations, and Sir Wilfrid
Laur,er, the Canadian premier, and Sir
Louis Davis, minister of marine.
DISCRIMINATING DUTIES SUSPENDED.
The president this afternoon will issue
proclamation suspending the collection
of discriminating duties upon Mexican
shipping upon satisfactory proof that no
discrimination is practiced against Amer
ican ships in Mexican ports.
NEW RUSSIAN MINISTER.
1t is learned at the state department
that Mr.. Kotzebue has not only resigned
from the Washington mission, but his
successor has been appointed in the per-
son of Count Oassini, the present Russian
minister to PekiDg. Kotzebue WAS in
duced to relinquish his Office mainly on
account of the i'll health of his wife.

EXPERT TESTIMONY HEARD
Sanchez Said to Have Been In ThrOes
of Masked Epilepsy When
Wife Was Killed.
DANGEROUS SOMNAMBULISTIC ATTACK
The Sheriff Feared That Mob Would
Lynch Defendant, But No At
tempt Upon Prisoners Life
Was Made.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 12.-The defense
rested in the Sanchez trial yesterday
afternoon. This morning the prosecu-
tion was not ready to proceed and re-
cess was taken until afternoon. The
recess was wanted for the purpose of al
lowing the prosecuting attorney to sum-
mons an expert witness to rebut the tes
timony of DR.. Tilden. Subpenas were
issued for DR.. H. T. Pershing and young
gentleman named Lyon, a son of one of
the court balliffs.
Judge Brown, counsel for Sanchez, yes
terday afternoon called DR.. Ell. L. Tilden
to the stand who qualified as an expert
on somnambnlism, nightmares and
dreams. In substance he testified that
Sanchez might have been in the throes
of an attack of masked epilepsy when he
killed his wife. He thought that it was
possible that person suffering from
masked epilepsy would have acted as the
prisoner says he did during the enact
ment of the tragedy, and said subsequent
ly more than that, that Sanchez might
have been in the same epileptlc fit at the
time he made the two contradictory
statements to the police as to the shoot.
ing. Masked epilepsy sometimes holds
possession of its victims for days at a
time. The defendant was recalled and re-
affirmed his assertion of the morning that
he had been somnambullst all his life
and had frequently done strange things
in his sleep. He said that while rooming
at the Windsor hotel he frequently arose
from bed and charged about the room
until his wife seized aud awoke him.
Late yesterday afternoon Sheriff Webb
was seized with & fear that a mob would
attack the jail during the night, take
Sanchez out and lynch him. He at once
swore in q half dozen extra guards, sent
weapons of defense to his warden in the
jail and called upon Chief of Police Far
ley to hold police in readiness to resist
the threatened attack. The mob did not
materialize.
