ciers Are Perturbed.
Mr.. Burnham has made another esti-
mate OF the amount of money necessary
to finish the Worlds Fair buildings and
put Jackson Park in proper shape for
opening the gates of the exposition on
May l. Much to the surprise OF the
Board of Directors this estimate calls
for between S4O0, 900 and $500, 900 more
than any previous budget prepared by
the director OF works. Naturally the
directors who have heard of this estl-
mate are very uneasy. The large in
crease over all previous guesses at the
cost OF building the Fair was complete
surprise, for the director of works has
been very liberal in his estimates, and
it was generally supposed that the top
notch OF possible expenditures had been
reached ia previous calculation. A
member OF the Finance Committee ex-
pressed the sentiment of the board
when he said -expenses are running
away with us-

CO-OPERATIVE NEWSPAPER.
James Gordon BENEFITS Scheme for Benefit
ing Employees Of the New York Herald.

NEW YORK. May 24.-The Herald this
morning publishes an editorial under tho
heading of THE Proprietor of the Herald"
in which is denied the recent report that
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett contemplates
turning the Herald into joint stock CON-
pany. The editorial then says: "The
present proprietor. it is true. has in view
the formation of a cooperative society.
but one for the sole benefit of the members
of tie Herald staff. including the general
manager, city editor. news editor, night
editor. all editors. correspondents. report
ers. artists. cashier. CLERKS. foremen. proof
readers. compoMtors. printers. exchange
readers. shipping clerks, telegraph clerks.
advertising clerks, messengers porters,
tiremen. machinlsts--for they are all men,
bers OF the Herald staff. are they mott
and not for any stock jobbing
or speculative purposes, as has been
done so often in England and Amer
lea. This cooperative society may be
formed at any momens by the proprietor
whenever he thinks proper. The founder
of the Herald disposed of it a few years be-
fore his death for 81. to Its present propri-
etor. in order TO avoid any post mortem
interference by politically biased courts
under guise Of proceeding for the legal
construction of a will, as in the Tilden will
case not long ago. The proprietor of the
Herald proposes to follow the example of
it's founder and direct the disposition of
the Herald without outside intervention of
any kind. He believes that in perpetuating
the property in this way he can best build
q lasting and living monument to its
founder. James Gordon Bennett, the elder.
The removal of the name of the pro-
prietor from the editorial page had no sig
nificance other than that it's further re-
tentson was deemed unnecessary"

custom house, requesting information
touching the statements and charges con-
tanned in the issue of the Dry Goods Chron-
icle of April 13. 1s9S." the editor of that jour-
nal has. to-day. submitted list of specific
charges against the United States custom
house officials. They number thirteen. and
are in effect that charges were preferred
against Examiner Wiswell for the passa ge
of certain invoices of J. X. Simon x Co..
who paid $4,000 IN additional duties and
penalties for undervaluation. The editor
also says these charges were suppre ssed ana
nullitied by the intervention of the ap-
praiser's superior officer in the Treasury

result that he could find no trace of any
part of the estate. Yesterday Mr.. Roose-
Welt. through his attorneys. presented the
facts 90 Judge Andrews. of the Supreme

CHICAGO. May 24.-The Chicago Times
tomorrow will print story claiming that
