From the San Francisco Reat E.stae Reci<c,
It IS assorted by competent engineers tia: tho
motive power used on the Clay street hill rail-
road will, beyond q doubt, bo used on all the
street~ra!lroads OF this md every other city Of
the United States within q few years. Tho Clay
street bill road carries 5000 passengers daily.
Its cars arc hauled no q grade which, in a
eaatanco OF 2.600 feet, makes IN ascent Of 203
feet, or in -. The total length Of tho portion
OF the road on which tho endless stoel-cable ropo
is used is nearly $500 feet. Only 1.7Oo pounds
(saV threo-quzrters OF ton) OF GOAL arc used
daily in furnishing the requisite motive power.
Il tho road rero extended to Van Ness avenue,
1t ls inserted I've know not how truIy) that
one ton OF coal per day would furnish all tho
steam requielte to draw the cars beth
wayB. Under these circumstances, it is as abb
surd and wastoful to continue to use corBes on
street-car lines, as it would bo to use tbouu in
raising ore out OF the depths OF the mines OF tho
Co1nstock lode There iB not oae-uuarter tha
wear and tear On the cars when propelled by
this system, and the zBils are not q projecting
nuisance to other vehicles as in the caso OF or
dinary horse-car rails. The waste in power by
tho uBe OF horses ia great as the increased OK
pense. much greater degree Of speed than
tho snai-llko rate OF tho Clay street hill railroad
cau be attained With perfect safety and with lit
tie OF no increase OF expense. On tho steepest
ascending g1cde tie car can bs stopped tn dis
tauce OF ~ feet, and on the steepest desceud-
ing grade in feet. The tiolo lost in stopping

WALES.

The Prince Dunned by E1is Creditors.
london Corresponde'see Of tho se.o York Graphic.
The Prince OF Wales owes debts to the amount
Of $500, 600. Some Of these debts havo been
running for long time and the creditors are
somewhat impatient for their money. How did
It happen chat the Prince got 40 deeply into
debt? Who can tell? From his birth up to his
majority the revenues Of the DuchY Of Cornwall
were saved up for him. Last year his income
from this source WAS E62 $40. It was not 80
much before his ehrewd father stopped many
leaks in its administration, but the sum must
haVo been large. Then there is his annual
allowance to- his wife, and while he PAYS no rent
for his town residence, Marlborough House, he
probably gets 4 small income from his
tenants st his country estate. 6andringham.
Besides all this, his 1ato lanlented
father is known to have left q very large amount
OF money, although tits probable that his mother
keeps close guard over this. No one eau tell
anything about it, for II the Prince Consort left
q will his widow has never sent it TO to recorded
But, on the whole, one would be inclined to cay
s450, 900 year ought to keep out of debt, even
II be had large family Of small children and
entertained much company.
The Prince of Wales has not kept out OF
debt. He owea. as have said, s3oO.0o0, and
the Government are about to ask Parliament
to pay his debts. The proposition will cause
row. and, il the Republicans had any real in
fluence,. they could make some capital out Of
the affair. Tho plea in favor OF the PROPOSE
ton will be that the debts have been incurred
in the performance Of State duties which have
been imposed upon him BY the Queen. The
truth is, I believe, TINT the Prince, who is
very ahrewd fello" in his money-matters, has
always borrowed the funds which have been ex-
pended on these occasions, refusing to use his
own money for such purposes, and saying that
in the end either Pariameut or his mother must
pay the debts thus contracted. II q rnison. The
simple justice of the case would seem to demand
thas the Queen should pay the money. She re-
ceives from the State very ample revenue for
the discharge Of certain duties; it would seem
only right that il she deputies her son to perform
these duties for her sho should pay the expense
attending them: Many disputes are said 70 have
taken place between the Queen and the Prince
On this subject; but Her Majesty: does not Like
