Model of Nelson's Flagship.

remarkably complete model Of Mel
sons flagship, the Victory, worked out in
elaborate detail so as TO form in minia-
ture perfect facsimile OF the original,
has been constructed by Herr Paul Karl,
technical inspector of the Berlin Museum
Of the Industrial Arts. The model will be
kept for time in the museum named,
but it is ultimately destined for exhibi-
ton In the German museum in Munich,
for which 1t was built. Herr Karl, who
spent three years In its construction, has
reproduced every rope, spar and portfolio
OF the original ship. and has even gone so
far in his efforts to attain realism that
the small cannon with which it is pro-
vided can actually be loaded and dis

NEED OF BIG NAVY
View of British Policy by the
German Agrarians.
POSSIBILITY OF WARFARE
Preparations for Hostilities, But
Nothing to Provoke Conflict.
BY CARL WALDEMAN,

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
BERLIN, August l., 1872
In leading article in the Deutsche
Tageszitung. the organ of the agrarian
party. 1t is stated that the recent speeches
OF British ministers and the strengthen
ing OF the British navy have made but
little impression in Germany, as hardly
any new idea is advanced in them, and
hardly any fresh development revealed.
1t is immaterial, says the agrarian organ.
that the statements made about and
against Germany were Of more frinedly
character. Germany has to reckon with
the fact that England contemplates the
possibility of a conflict with Germany,
although this conflict is not desired, and
nothing will be done to bring it about.
It has been stated in the British par
lament with gratifying clearness, 1t adds,
that England will regulate the size of her
navy according to that of Germany, and
little importance need be attached to the
assurance made by the way that, in
adopting measures for the strengthening
OF the British feet. the government con-
siders only the necessity of protecting
and defending the vital interests of the
British empire.
..While we admit all this the agra
rian organ writes. I'VE expect that Eng
land will adopt a similar attitude toward
Germany. We have not built and
strengthened our fleet in order to en-
barrass England or even to irritate her,
but solely because We have considered.
and still consider. that a sufficiently
strong navy is necessary to insure our
future.
Possibility of War.
We must, of course, also reckon with
all the possibilities, and also. therefore.
with the possibility of warlike complica-
tions with England. We should indeed
be political children and fools if we left
this possibility, far off as it may lie, out
of consideration. We cherish against the
island kingdom neither resentment, nor
envy. nor even dislike. We are glad II
the mutual relations of the two peoples
remain correct and friendly. so far as this
is possible.
But in political calculations feelings
and sentiment have no place. because

standpoint of an unqualified peace friend

PIRATES BECOME BOLD
ON COASTS OF CHINA
Government Set at Naught by
the Buccaneers in South
ern Waters.
,oreign Correspondence of The Star.


SHANGHAI. August I, 1872.
Evidence of the absence of stable gov
ernment in China is furnished by the
wide prevalence of piracy on the south
ern coasts. In this region, OF course,
pirates have long flcurished, but certain
recent depredations have been carried out
with a GOODNESS and daring which sug-
gest that, in the estimation of these gen.
try. the chances of their being brought
the tardy and half-hearted methods of
the old regime.
Capture of Oil.
Early in the present month one of the
junks belonging to the Asiatic Petroleum
Company. containing large quantity OF
oil. was captured at point near the
borderland line between kiangsu and
Chekiang. Having made themselves mas
ters of the vessel the pirates calmly
sailed her along the coast, stopping at
different places. where they sold the oil.
and IL was thus week before the COM
pany was informed of the loss.
Some few days afterward another oil
junk belonging to the same firm was
seized in precisely the same manner. In
formation was laid with the British au-
thoritfes in Ningpo and Shanghai. and
every effort has been made to trace the
pirates. AS result. some of the stolen
oil has been recovered. but no pirate has
been captured.
AS evidence that the schemes are well
organized, it is mentioned that the
Asiatic Petroleum Company has received
a letter from some unknown agent of the
marauders in Shanghai explaining the
terms on which the oil will be returned.
Headquarters Located.
The headquarters of the pirates has
been located at a place called Nanhuih-
sien. a hotbed of piracy and difficult to
tackle. AS the Chinese authorities show
no great inclination to undertake an un-
doubtedly dangerous task. 1t is suggested
that the British naval authorities might
spare a gunboat to patrol this particular
stretch of coast.

FOR MERIT SYSTEM
Presidential Candidates Op-
pose Seven Year Tenure.
POSITIONS ARE SET FORTH
Taft. Wilson and Roosevelt All Be-
lieve Seventeen Plan Would
Mean Generalization.
POSITIONS ARE SET FORTH

All three of the leading presiden.la
candidates have gone on record as oppos-
ing limited tenure of office of govern
ment employees to seven years. Robert ".
Beleher, acting secretary OF the National
Civil Service Reform League recently ad-
dressed letters to President Taft, Gov
Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt, asking
for the personal opinion of each on the
seven-year-tenure clause, and replies have
been received from each.
In his letter Secretary Beleher asked
for definite statement from each of the
candidates named as to his position on
the seven-year-tenure rider of the legisla-
tive appropriation bill. stating that the
league believed the plan would result in
ment classified service.
Presidents Position.
In President Taft's reply the statement
is made that his position would be set
forth in his veto message to Congress. and
in that message the President vigorously
and concisely set forth his reasons for
opposing the seven-year tenure plan and
for vetoing the important measure to
which it was attached as a rider.
Gov. Wilson's reply follows. in part:
Il agree with your judgment that the
proposal to fix a brief tenure Of office for
the civil servants Of the government is a
distinct step backward, and that 1t would
inevitably demoralize the service. / am
hearty believer in the principles of
civil service reform and shall take pleas
ure at all times in doing what l can to
promote those principles"
Replies for Roosevelt.
George Emlen Roosevelt replied in the
name Of Col. Roosevelt, his letter read
ing:
Col. Roosevelt has asked me to reply
to your letter. His position in regard to
civil service should by this time be per-
fectly clear. but I will take your letter
up with him in case he should wish to
send a detailed reply on the point con-
cerning which you inquire"
The position Of Col. Roosevelt on this
question is believed to be set forth in the
platform of the progressive party, which
says on this point:
I'VE demand not only the enforcement
Of the civil service act in letter and in
spirit, but also legislation which Will
bring under the competitive system post
masters. collectors. marshals and all
other non-political officers. as We'll as the
enactment of an equitable law, and we
also insist upon continuous service dur
ing good behavior and efficiency.

LAND O. GOLD.

Long ago the western foothills
Yielded UP their golden ore,
Where the blue Pacific murmurs
By the California shore.
Then the ring of pick and shovel
Mingled with the singing pines,
Delving deep for hidden treasure
In the shafts Of rock bound mines
Long ago the silent canyons
Weakened from their solemn gloom.
To the echOing blasts Of powder,
And the miners roaring 6umes
But the pioneers have vanished.
As the years have drifted past,
And those frontier days OF daring
Only in our memory last
Changed the land from toll and hard
ship
To the lands of dreams and flowers
And her riches in abundance
Nature gives in golden showers
Clean OF gold upon the hiIlsides.
That were once so brown and bares
Clean of gold as pure as sunshine,
Haunting in the MONDAY glare.
For the dazzling wealth in fragrant
Scattered, yellow splendor lies
In the fields Of golden peoples
browsing under sunlit skies

There was a flash and the report Of

to escape any other shots that the
guard might fire, while the chaffuer
