headquarters of the khan whereby
Mueller would he Immediately de-
posed on condition that no more

speculation at the meeting. The in
dividual amounts range all the way

ander Barring Ashhurton, the British
minister to the United states in
1872.
The house was built in 1922 by
Matthew st. Clair Clarke. who. from
that year until 1884 served the
State of Virginia as a member of
the House of Representatives.
Daniel Webster. Secretary of
state, lived two doors from Ashbur-

when the Canadian boundary mat

used to go to the minister's home
and talk over the details of the
treaty.
1t was once the British lega ton
and Lord Dalling. better known as
Sir Henry Bulwer Lytton resided
there while British minister.
