Proceeding under the general authority of the law creating the State Department of Ag? riculture, t 'omtnissioner Watson an? nounced yesterduy that he had decid? ed to establish as soon as possible a bureau of marketing, which will be a clearing house for accurate informa? tion for the use of those citizens of the State who have prodn. cd some? thing to sell and merchants and in? dividuals who want the products. "Every agency making for the cauHe of agriculture in this Stute, and work? ing for the betterment of the condi? tion of ssjf people has all thut It can do. in this department, with the new divisions recently established, we have before us work the value of which cannot he estimated." said Commissioner Watson yesterday.

AMERICAN commission STI l>Y IXCJ in EUROPE . Banking and Marketing; Are The Sub? jects Receiving Attention .lust at This Tinte, Budapest, Hungary, Juno 2?>.?in a special train provided l>y the Hungnr lan government the American commis? sion on agricultural co-operation was brought In rc from Flume, the prin? cipal Hungarian seaport. The agriculture of Hungary lacks the extreme Intenalveness which was so marked in Italy, probably because Of Insufficient labor. Rural Hungary more closely resembles rural Ameri? ca than any other country of Europe. In years past Hungary, like the United States, resorted to foreign im? migration to increase her population. Hut wars and the too rapid Increase of foreign peoples prevented any as? similation and today in Hungary there are Magyars, Germans, Slovaks, Rou? manians, Ruthenians, Croats, Ser? vians, Saxons and what not, all cling? ing to their languages and lighting against race extinction. In every attempt made to further agricultural interests of the country these con? ditions had to be taken into consider? ation. The big estates owned by the nobility complicated matters. The sells were given their freedom just at the time when the landed nobil? ity was financially in the worst condi? tion. But despite these handicaps the Hungarian government has construct* ed a system of agricultural credit both for mortgage loans ami for short time credit needs of the farmers which has proven of the j .-cutest value. (Jov ernmenl aid hai played an import? ant part in the work. The mortgage credit Institulons of Hungary are neither purely co-opera? tive nor Strictly private. The oldest and most important mortgage bank of Hungary is the Hungarian Land Mort? gage Institute, founded in 1863, The government contributed $200,0*0 of the capital stock of the Company ami the balance was subscribed by "found? ers" who, however, were only re? quired to pay in 10 per cent of the amount of the stock for which they ?Ubscrlbed. These founders receive' a dividend limited to per cent of their subscriptions. Besides the founders, every landowner who plac? ed a mortgage with the bank is a members of the bank, only mortgagors who have a mortgage indebtedness to the bank of at least $20,000 have any personal voice in the affairs of the bank. The other members may eleel representatives to the general met ling, t >f course as soon an a farm? ers' mortgage expires his member? ship in the bank ends Under this form of organization the Hungarians attempted to secure the cooperative principle, of represen? tation of the borrowing farmers, while at tlie same time placing the greater pari of the power in the hands of the founders. Only the founders have the power to elect the president and board of control. The manage? ment has fallen into the hands of a lew men who, however, have so man? aged its affairs for the public good that it has satisfactorily met the mort? gage demands of Hungarian landown? ers, with the fault, however, that its business is carried on almost ex ' lusiv. lv with large landowners. The process of securing money to land? owners is that of selling bonds equal iu amount to the mortgages placed with the hank and secured by the mortgages, and, secondly, bj the capital and reserve funds of the bank. The failure of the Hungarian Land Mortgage Institute t.i meet demands of small farmers led tu organisation of the Hungarian National Small Holding)! Mortgage Institute, upon lines similar to the Huiiguriun Land Mortgage Institute, but with the pro? vision in its chatter that it should not grant loans t<> large, landowners until the demands uf small owners had been satisfied This bank also grants loans to pea-ant farmers when a big estate is sub divided among many holders Mortgage loans are granted for only 60 per cent of tie value of the land in Hungary, but II has been found that when any big es? tate js stili divided, tin- income from I he la 1 id |m ?? > Increased ihul it Is en 111 -? ?

VETO MESSAGE. They claim Acceptance of Donation to Vamlerhlli Would he Breach ot Faith and Invalid. Nashville, Tenn.i Juno 20.?At a called meeting of the Methodist Epis? copal church, South, attended by nine members of the college of bishops, a veto message was drawn up, setting forth the following objections to the action of the board of trustees in ac? cepting tiie recent gift from Andrew Carnegie to the Vanderbilt Medical college. "That the action of tin- board of the gift is Q breach of trust vested in the gift is a breach of trust vested In it under and by virtue of the resolu? tions of the Memphis convention which constitute the foundation of Vanderbilt university; that said action is beyond tin- powers of the board and that it constitutes a diversion of a large portion of the funds and prop? erty of the u dverslty from the trusts upon which said property is held, is contrary to the terms of other gifts to the university, and is Illegal, null ami void." A copy of this action will be duly certified ami forwarded to the secre? tary of the board ot trust of the uni? versity. Those attending the meeting were: Bishops Collins Denny, B. R. Hen drlx, W, R. Lambuth, E. l>. Mouson, .1. C. Ktlgore, J. II. McCoy, E. B. Hoss, 'II. C Morrison and W. A. Candler. The resolutions vetoing the accept? ance of the $1,000,000 Kdt by Carnegie were adopted unanimously by the bishops. in edition to a veto message the bishops addressed a message to the church stating their reason for op? posing the gift. They .say in part: "If this gift had been offered with? out embarrassing condition, as all other endowments have been, we Would have offered no objections to its acceptance, but the conditions at 'ta< bed to this gifi ami the letter ac? companying it, which must be taken as expositors of tin* conditions, are such as b ad us to believe it can not be accepted without a breach of trust ami without dishonor to the church, If conditions are fulfilled In good faith to the donor. "We an? as unwilling that Mr. Car negie Should be deceived as that the university should be dismembered and tin* church of Cod dishonored." EIRE THREATENS ROYAL PALACE riamcts in Arsenal at Naples Cause $100,000 Damages. Naples, June 19. Fire, which broke out in the arsenal today, did damage estimated at $100,000.? Troops from the garrison and sailors from war ships assisted the tin-men in quench? ing the flames, which threatened at one time to sweep the Royal Palace. The origin of the lire is unknown. There were ten casualties annum the rescuing forces. The I Hike of Aosta, cousin of King Victor Emmanuel, commanded the liremen, sailors and soldiers who fought the Haines. There Is a rumor afloat that Sum i? r is to have a $10,000 moving pic? ture and vaudeville house in the near future, stances the bank of deposit appraises the property, makes the loan, gunrun tees the mortgage which it turns over to the mortgage bank, and often col? lects the payments of interest and principal. For ihls service the mort? gage bank allows the local bank a small percentage. Personal ctedil of Hungarian farm erg is granted through co-operative societies which are iiniied in the Hun Karian Central ?'r?dn Co-operative society. The principal lesson to the American commission from its study of these hanks was m the value of a concent rat ion of the credit reserves, thai Is, thai through the Central So? ciety, the Weaker local societies in limes of stress could draw support, fust, from stronger local societies, und Iben from the Auatro Hungarian lank All ol the local societies de? posit their surplus funds with tri?
