A CHALLENGE FROM RALNES
ASKS CONTROLLER FOR INFORMATION
ABOUT THE UNITED STATES
DEPOSIT FUND.

Albany Jan 25 (SpeciaD.-Senator Raines shows
a disposition TO have tilt with Controller Knight
over the disposition Of the s4O14520 Il in the United
States Deposit Fund and possibly also with Gov
ernor Odell, who is reported be in favor of Civ
ing the absolute control of that fund to the Con-
troer. Mr.. Knight in his annual report to the
Legislature stated that the Legislature of 1898
passed which endangered the existence Of
the fund because it prohibited the Controller Of
the State from keeping the fund invested in bonds,
authorized before that date. and directed him
to pay TO the Loan Commissioners of the State,
there being two in each county, "all amounts of
principal derived from the fund in his hands for
reloaning." The Controller added that the total re-
ceipts from the Loan Commissioners the 81 .562.-

of about 81. per cent not high was the aver

ments made by the Controller"
Assembyman Weekes. Of New-York. has intro
duced bill to TO the Controller the abso-
lutte control of every portion OF the United States
Deposit Fund. In view of the Controllers state
ment in his report. The Loan Commissioners
doubtless attempt strike return blow in the
following resolution. which presented to the
Senate to-day by Senator Raines:
Resolved That the Controller be respectfully re-
Quested to report to the Senate at the earliest
Deposit Fund in the hands of Loan Commissioners
10 f3r each each year since and including 1850 the amount
the Loan Commissioners, and the interest received
each year on that fund
Also 10 report for the same period the amount of
the United States Deposit Fund in the hands of the
Controller, the commissions premiums. clerical and
other expenses incurred in the investment thereof
each year. and the amount of interest received
thereon.
Also the net rate of interest received from the
funds in the hands of the Loan commissioners for
the entire period and the net rate of interest re-
ceived the fund in the har-@G OF the Controller
for the same term.
The resolution was unanimously passed, after
some objection by Senator Grady, which was with
drawn Later IN the day Willis E. Merrman.
Deputy State Controller said: I'VE pay no COM
missions on bonds Of the United States Deposit
Fund. As for premiums all there is in that is tina I
we buy the bonds OF towns and villages in order 10
aid them. and thus We pay premium. But there Is
no loss, and We continue to make the bonds thus
purchased net the State at least 3i2 per cent"

Seeking its shy way upward toward the sun
Each veil of night descending, angel spun
Finds it a little higher on its way
Its cIinging tendrils with the breezes sway
No goal II knows-but only that it must
Forever climb. And so, in silent trust
It's tiny stem creeps forward day by DAY
To the vine is symbol Of thy life
Upward the ivy turneth-so thine eyes.
Dreaming a future far above thy past
