Laid-Several Thousand Feet
of Frontage Added to Tax
able Wealth

BY far the most important outside
sale and purchase of the week was the
purchase by the Mccarthy company
from J. S. Slauson of the forty-acre
tract formerly owned by Mr.. Slauson
on the corner of Figueroa street, Slau-
son avenue and Moneta street, with
Fifty-ffth and Fifty-seventh streets
running through it; also the extension
of Flower street, Grand avenue and
Olive street running through the prop
cgty north and south, with the Re-
dondo railway along the entire south
erly line of the tract.
The property has a total frontage of
1869 feet on Figueroa street and 1854
feet on Slauson avenue and 1869 feet
on Moneta avenue, with the same
frontage on the Olive, Grand avenue
and Flower street extensions.
Mr.. Slauson has owned this property
for thirty years, and 1t is bounded by
beautiful line of 15-year-old pepper
trees, and lies apparently to the eye
perfectly level. but as matter of fact
has very slight grade from the north
easterly corner to the southwesterly
corner, giving a drainage to the prop
erty, and is in that district of the city
having the most perfect soil.
The Mccarthy company has pur-
chased this property for itself and the
following parties composing q syndi-
cate interested with it: Kirk N. Sect
! of New York, Porter e. Seeman, who
are about to build the 100000 hotel or
Court street heights Burton f. McCar.
thy, George e. Roth and Judge Charlie.
Silent, all of Los Angeles.
This company will divide the prop.
erty into 20S large building lots, will
, grade and oil one and three-fourth:
of sidewalk improve the street:
with shade and ornamental trees anC
otherwise improve the property, max.
ing a first-class residence subdivision
| The Redondo electric line runs e
short distance to the west, and the new
extension of the Moneta avenue line
will run on the eastern boundary OF
| this tract. This purchase and the inn
provements projected for it show the
grade, trend of improvements and sales
in this district of the city The new
extension of the Moneta avenue cal
line will take passengers at one fare tC
this district in much less time than the
cars through the now thickly settled

has risen in the last two or three year:
to four and five times it's origina
value.

As most of the provincial authorities

such power to terrorize the populace
can be easily imagined, they being in
position to become petty tyrants and
wage war each in his particular fashion
against the revolutionists.

RUSSIAN FIELD LOSSES.
Official Report Reduces Ertent Of
Disaster at MOukden.

FTua-Shu Pass April 25.-A statement of the
totoI losses in the battle of Moul1den, from Feb
ruarv 10 TO March II, compiled by the general
staff. shows that the casualties were greatly
overstated in earlier reports. Statements from
Japanese sources indicating wholesale captures
of prisoners, enormous booty and cannon are
now denied.
1t appears that the Russian losses amounted
TO two generals. who were taken prisoners; 1885
staff and other officers, and S7,677 men, of whom
the greater part, about $4,000, were wounded
In evacuating MOukden and retreatinS to the
northward the Russians lost thirty-two guns
of which three were mortars, three old type field
guns with piston action, and twenty-six quick
fire guns. OF the siege artillery every gun and
all the ammunition carts were sent north two
days before the retreat began
General Karlevitcb, the chief Of staf, calcu-
Iates that other losses aside from wounded were
as follows: Fifteen thousand killed. 1000 to
5000 known to have been captured, and 10000
to Il, 1000 missing, of whom several thousand
were drivers, sanitary and comnissariat corps
employees and other On-combatants. a large
number were slightly wounded and returned 10
the ranks, many even resorting to deception In
order to leave the hospitals.

The statements that the crew Of the Russian

st. Petersburg April 25-Emperor Nicholas,
receiving in audience on Sunday the Marshal OF
tire Nobility of Kostroma, q government Of Mid
die Russia. directed that the following message
be communicated TO the nobility Of Kostroma:
Ny will regarding the convOcation OF repre-
sentatives Of the people is unswerving' and the
Minister of the Interior is making every effort
for its speedy realization.
The public generally anticipates the publica-
ton of an imperial ukase before Easter, outlin-
ing the character and functions of the repre-
sentative body promised by the rescript The
commission appointed to carry out the promised
reforms it is understood. has completed it's pre-
liminary labors, and the matter is now in the
hands OF the Council Of the Empire.
There is a rurnor that Emperor Nicholas will
also mark Easter by the proclamation of general
amnesty to all political and religious prisoners.
The public is convinced that NJ. Bouigan's a
Minister OF the Interior is almost at an
end. A dozen names are suggested for his post,
the most prominent being NJ. Shipof, president
of the Moscow zemstyo. whose nomination nm
dOubtedly would create the best possible impress
sion. On the other hand, there are those who
believe that NJ. StuTmer. who belonged to NJ.
PlehVe's party, will get the appointment.
Yesterdays ukase authorizing the appoint
ment OF commissions to collect damages from the
village communities created hardly a ripple of
excitement the newspapers generally expressing
the opinion that IL VIII accomplish little. They
point out that after the agrarian disorders in
