Another Big Steamship.
New York Evening Post

1t was supposed that the commercial
failure OF the Great Eastern-which
was bid in at auction recently for $780,
OO0-would discourage the building of
very large steamships. Such may
have heen the effect for some time;
but, whether marine architects have
attributed the failure to faults in con-
struction or to other avoidable circum-
stances, they are now, as if by common
consent, increasing the length of their
vessels. The first of these new levia-
thans, the City of Rome, which has re-
Gently arrived at this port, is 600 feet
long over all, only eighty feet shorter
than the Great Eastern; but she is not
so wide by thirty feet nor so deep by
by twenty-three feet. 1t is believed
that the difference in model will make
her faster and more manageable. The
first voyage was scarcely test of
speed, because, on account of the new
ness of the machinery, the ship was
compelled to stop several times for
some hours. 1t is yet to be proved
that great size, however advantageous
from the point of view Of comfort OF
passengers, and the storage of cargo
will enable steamer to make quicker
passages. The Arizona, the Elbe, the
Germanic and the Britannia have made
"records" which the City of Rome and
the coming Seryia will not easily sur.
pass.

Mr.. SCovILLE, Guiteau's lawyer, is hav.

claims that District Attorney Corkhill is
taking all undue advantage in preventing

teau's papers. Corkhill holds that these
papers constitute part of the evidence
against the prisoner, and that, therefore,
1t is proper for him to withhold them.

purpose in writing them, and that
she meant to entrap the scoundrel.

A Ranch of One Hundred Thousand
Acres, Stretching for Twenty-Five

Thinking that something of interes,
might he written concerning repre-.
sentative cattle ranch in tho Arkansas
valley, your correspondent accepted an
invitation extended him by the largest
Individual cattle-owner now living in
Bent county, to visit his thoroughbred
breeding-ranch, at Prowers' Station,
twenty-seven miles east of West Las
Animas. A large stone barn, corrals, a
windmill, a neat stone house, newer
house of the same material, not yet
finished, both surrounded by a regular
IMPLANTED grove of young cottonwoods,
these were the home improvement on
one of the largest cattle ranches in the
state.
These two ranches, and several 9TH
ers, owned by the same gentleman, all
making up river frontage of eighteen
miles, and including a number of very
productive meadows, are situated on
the south side of the Arkansas, and are
all under fence. Directly opposite
these, beginning at Fort Lyon, and
reaching down the river distance OF
twenty-five miles, and extending back
far enough to include an expanse OF
$4,000 acres, is another pasture under
fences, the titles for which are in the
same name. Here, then, are forty
miles Of water front and a hundred
thousand acres Of pasture under fence,
all owned by one man. The fencing
on these ranches will sum up over one
hundred miles. Northward to and
even beyond the Kansas Pacific, and
southwark to the Cimaraon and beyond
into the panhandle of Texas, Craze his
cattle, more than twelve thousand in
number. Already this autumn he has
shipped eleven hundred fat steers,
whose average weight has not been less
than twelve hundred pounds, and he
will yet ship from five to seven hun
dred more quite as good. His sales of
cattle this year will reach more than
$65, 900, perhaps $4,000.
This is but one ranch. There are q
number of Others on the Arkansas be-
tween Pueblo and the state line that
are but less in extent. This shows how
rapidly the best lands in the Arkansas
valley are passing into the hands of a
very few men. AS it is now, 4 halfdcz-
EN- men own the bulk of the bottom
lands, and through these control most
of the grazing lands for miles on either
side of the river, from Pueblo to Kan
