TITS a CLEVELAND CABINET.
One ofthe Comments Most Frequently
Heard at Washington.


Special DisDatch to the Morning Netos.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Mr. Cleveland's
unprecedented course in announcing his ems
tire cabinet ten days before it can be nom
mated to the Senate has given public men
IN and out of congress much satisfaction.
For many reasons, personal and political,
they want TO know as soon as possible who
the members of the new cabinet are to be,
and whatever else they might say to-day
about Mr.. Cleyeland's selections they gen-
orally praised his Dromptness in making his
announcement. In the criticism of the
completed cabinet at the capitol to-day il
was generally remarked that Mr..
Cleveland bas distributed the
places geographically substantially as he
did in his former cabinet, the south getting
three places, counting MIR. Carlilse as
southerner; the west two, New York two
and New England one, Massachusetts again
furnishing the man. It was also remarked
that it is q cabinet Of young men, the aver
age age being under 80, and Of men who,
with the possible exception of Judge
Gresham, have all displayed marked busl~
ness ability, although, with the exception
Of Col Lamont, they are all lawyers.
THE CABINET WELL RECEIVED.
There can be little doubt that with the ex-
ception Of the protection and free silver

fed with any cabinet Mr.. Cleveland might
have selected, that the democratic senators
and representatives are satisfied with the
cabinet There is a marked change in their
attitude toward the appointment Of Judge
Gresham, as they have come to realize that
he is a democrat and to appreciate the
political significance of it. AS TO the other
appointments they recognize the fact the
men selected are all straightout democrats, q,
and while they do not know Mr.. Olney, Mr..
Bissell or Mr.. Smith as a rule personally,
they like what they have heard about them.
The selection Of Mr.. Herbert
of itself has greatly strengthened
the cabinet, in the estimation of the demo-
Gratis in congress, with whom ne is so de-
servedly popular. The almost unparalleled
reception he had when he entered the House
to-day was an unaffected expression of the
regard and respect in which he is held in
congress. the republicans vieing with
the democrats in doing him honor It is
interesting to note in this connection the
fact that MIR. Cleveland did not settle the
navy department problem until late yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Herbert says that he got
his telegram from Mr.. Cleveland rendering
him the navy portfolio at exactly 7:15 O'Clock
last night. Mr.. Herbert's selection is SUP
posed to be due to the fact that Mr. Harrity
could not be persuaded to take the navy de-
partment.
Taken as whole the cabinet is admitted
even by republicans and anti Cleveland
democrats TO be an able one-abler in fact
than Mr.. Cleveland's former cabinet, and at
the same time better fitted to cooperate
with Mr.. Cleveland in carrying on his ad-
ministration. 1t is, Of course, regarded as
characteristic of MIR. Cleveland. ut is a
Cleveland cabinet is said of 1t more fire.
Quently than anything else.

The Wrattan Murder.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 3.-Tho
most horrible crime ever committed
in southern Indiana must be entered
against Davies county. billiard Deni-
son Wrattan, his wife, mother and
three children were murdered at night
several weeks ago in the most cruel
and barbarous way. The Wrattaus
were ell-to-do-farmers. The hus-
band was down with typhoid fever,
but must have been asleep when the
horrible deed was committed, for he
lay on his back his hands folded
peacefully across his breast with three
ugly gashes in his forehead His
mother, aged 81, was evidently
the first killed. She was
lying upon the floor with both arms
broken, and terrible struggle must
have ensued. His wife was also found
upon the floor and five feet from her
lay her little daughter Stella, aged 6
years, The baby, 3 years old, was
found murdered in the kitchen. Ethel,
a girl II years old, showed signs OF
life, but she had her skull broken in
two places. She did not attain con-
seriousness. She died the following
day. The motive for the murder was
money, as it was known that Mr.. Wrat-
tan and his mother had a great deal
of it concealed about the house. At
last the murderers are in the tolls OF
the law. Five of the suspects ar
rested and taken to Jefferson
vile two weeks ago We're rightly
suspected, but it was not through
them the heinous criminals We're
exposed. Last Saturday the grand
jury ordered the arrest of James
Stone. a man who came TO the Wrat-
tan house early Tuesday morning and
first discovered the terrible tragedy.
His arrest was caused through his
wife, who appeared before the grand
jury and testified that Stone arose in
the night and complained of violent
toothache and said he was going to a
dentist; that he did not return until a
late hour, and then being covered
with blood, asked for a change of
clothes; that Stone complained that
the blood was caused by bleeding Of
the tooth. On inquiry it was found
that no doctor or dentist had extract
ed tooth from Stone. As soon as
Stone was brought to town the grand
jury went to work to obtain con-
fession from him and at midnight he
yielded. He told the story about
as follows: knowing Mrs. Wrat-
tan kept great deal of money
about the house, young Cosby, no.
torious character, planned the rob
berry. A gang of seven persons, who
formed sort of society for robberies
and general hellishness, was notified
of the plan, Their names are Grand
ison Cosby, Leon Williams, Martin
Yarber, William Kayse, John W.
White, Clip Clark and James Stone.
The plan was that Yarber and Clark
should get into the house and commit
the robbery while the others were to
stand guard. At the time the robbery
was to be committed Cosby and
Stone had not arrived. Cosby was Sc
drunk shat he got past going and did
not reach the house at all, but Stone
arrived after the murders had beer
committed, and because he was late
the other conspirators wallowed hin
in the blood of the victims and in thai
condition permitted him to go home
and that was the nail that fastened
down the lids to their collins. The,
