City inn’s watchdog barking (10,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

washington dc

'city' is the definition.
(I know that Washington DC is a national capital)

'inn's watchdog barking' is the wordplay.
'barking' indicates anagramming the letters (UK slang for mad).
'inns'+'watchdog'='innswatchdog'
'innswatchdog' with letters rearranged gives 'WASHINGTON DC'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
