The speaker was Mr. William NJ. Ash
ley, Of 0O6 Maine avenue, a man whose
large and intimate acquaintance with
prominent public men here in Washing
ton, renders his opinion Of unusual
weight.
The all important question among the
clerks OF the various departments is who
is to 60. In my opinion there viii be
very few changes among the old-time
employees, who have been here year in
and year out through several administra-
tiOns. The removals will occur among
the heads Of departments"
"The sense of distrust which must nee
essarily perVade the departments is, I
suppose, detrimental to the proper trans
action Of business?"

don't think Washington is so very mala-
riOus. At the same time 1 admit that
since residing here, 1 have not felt first
rate. At times L have been greatly
troubled with sharp, shooting pains. One
day my right arm and leg would torture
me with pain, there would be great red
ness, heat and swelling Of the parts, and
perhaps the next day the left arm and
leg would be similarly affected Then

frantic. There would be weeks at a time
that would be afflicted with an intermit-

every afternoon and leave me compare

"Of course you consulted the doctors
regarding your difficulty"
Consulted them? Well, I should say
1 did. Some told me L had neuralgia;
others that had inhammatOry rheuma-

"This was more than year ago, the
trouble has not returned, and haven't
been so we'll in years as am now"

prise his Cabinet"
"That is as difficult to determine as it
is to say what OficehOlders will go. Many
good men have been named for the posi-

Ian, not to mention a lot of lesser lights.
