An Earthquake in Hindostan.

LONDON. June 5.-An official dispatch
from ~Serinagur gives the number of
killed and wounded by the earthquake
there Oh Sunday and Monday as follows:
Killed, 81; wounded. 100.
Official reports have not yet been re-
ceived from other points in the valley of
Cashmere affected by the earthquake
shocks, and until these come to hand,
the full extent of the calamity cannot be
known.
Unofficial reports, however, are of such
an alarming character as to make it more
than likely that the earthquake will
prove even more disastrous in its effects
than the first dispatches stated. Whole
cities and towns in the valley are spoken
of as destroyed, and the absence of diff
mite news is attributed to the demolition
Of the telegraph lines in the general
wreck and chaos. In consequence of
this the magnitude of the calamity and
the number of killed and wounded is left
for the Imagination.

In one respect the report of assessed valuation
for 1885 is peculiarly discouraging. 1t is not
new to most people that the personal property
in Ncw-YOrk city is very inadequatcly assessed.
But there has been n hope from year TO year for
a long time that improvement in this respect
might be secured. The report of tie Commits
sioners of Taxes and Assessments just made to
the Mayor shows an Increase of SIS, $780, 900 in
the valuation of real estate. and yet further
decrease Of $15 100000 in the valuation of
personal property Nor is this the worst feat
ure of the case. The taxation of National bank
stocks has recently been disputed by the banks
on the ground that the law, as interpreted by a
Pennsylvania Court, protects them from any
taxation at different rate from that which is
levied upon other personal property. Now it
appears that the shareholders of banks in this
city are assessed at about $G0.000,0O0 while
all other personal property belonging to resi-
dents or non residents is assessed at less than
$1l2 900, 900. There can be no donbt that this
assessment goes far to support the claim made
that tho National banking property in this
State is taxed at q different rate from other
personal property, for if it were not it would
be necessary to conclude that more than four
fifths of the other personal property belonging
to residents of the city of New-York is legally
exempt from taxation under some special pro-
visions. VIGOROUSLY this is not according to
tho intent Of the law. Nor is there
room to doubt that great number of
persons escaped assessment for personal
property entirely, who ought to be taxed. The
MINES on the roll of the assessors numbered
81, 1913, but OF these SO many satisfied the
assessors that they were not liable to taxation
that the number finally retained was only
1891, out of population exceeding
100000 Neither the assessors nor anybody
else will claim that such results correspond
with the true intent OF The law or the actual
state of facts, although the blame will be laid
upon individuals VINO evade taxation by
methods which while legal are not however
strictly honorable.
The increase in valuation Of real estate
during the past year is said to be due to three
causes, now buildings and improvements
appreciation in value, and more perfect equal
ization of values. Practically the equalization
in this case means higher assessment for part
of the property, which represents appreciation
i'm value not previously recognized in the
reports. The value of new buildings and i'm
provcmcnts can be accurately estimated, and it
does not amount, at all events, to the assumed
increase in the valuation of real estate. Hence,
II the report is to be accepted, 1t must be
assumed that the average value of all real
property within the city Of New-York is higher
