corn and reduce it to alcohol which mixed
In a certain way with the juice of the juni-
per berry forms gin. Holland gin is con-
sdered the best and the Dutch think 1t Is
the best drink of the world. They consume
vast quantities of it and it warns them
body and soul. 1t is used not only here,
but throughout the Dutch East Indies,
where the hotels give you free gin cock
tails before every meal, and where the peo-
pie drink gin almost every hour of the
day.
A large part of what Holland sells to us
Java coffee and something like two million
comes from her colonies in the East Indies.
The Modern Port of Rotterdam.
Rotterdam is by far the best place for
pushing our trade. 1t is, with the exception
of Hamburg, the best distributing point on
the coast of northern Europe. and 1t has
fewer trade restrictions than Hamburg.
The city is about sixteen miles back from
the sea built upon piles on both banks Of
the Mas. The piles are driven as much
as fifty feet into the soil and upon them
have been constructed miles of stone quays,
enormous warehouses and city Of about
$50, 900 people. The town controls all public
improvements, and it is spending vast sums
to increase it's shipping facilities and trade.
If / remember correctly the cost of deepen
ing the river Mas, so that the biggest
ocean steamships could come right into the
city was more than $4,000, OO0 This work.
however, has made Rotterdam superior to

committee used 100000 OF them for cam

Mr.. Longs prospects in the Senate are
very bright. for he comes with the prestige
OF q unanimous election to that body, after
an arduous fight; In which he overoame all
obstacles, and brought to himself the sup
port OF all the other candidates. And he
has the added luster Of possessing the con-
ddence and personal friendship Of President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Longs Domestic Life.
In 1895. just after his first election to Con-
gress, Mr.. Long married Miss Anna Bache
OF Paola. Kan. Mrs. Long has been an ex-
cellent lieutenant for her husband in all
his political campaigns. She has no ambi-
ton for career herself. and rather fights
shy of the public gaze, preferring the pleas
ure ana contentment of home life and the
compan1onship of their two little daughters;
out Tor her husband she desires all the honor
and all the glory that can be brought his
way, and she has the most admirable tact
and finesse in inviting them. Mrs. Long is
a finished musician, and art connoisseur,
her years of study and travel abroad hav-
ing aided her much along the lines of cul-
ture she most loves.
The Longs have beautiful home in Med
icine Lodge, but have always lived very
quietly in Washington; for the last three
years they have been at the Driscoll.
p. Mr.. Long Is quiet and reserved in man
ner, studious and thoughtful. He cares
nothing whatever for society. He is rather
Spanish looking, and speaks clearly and
Huently, with very little reference to notes.

RECORD IN THE HOUSE

Kansas Is soon to be represented in the
United States Senate by one of the young
est men in that body, and, with one excep-
ton, Senator ingalls,, the youngest that the
sunfower state has ever sent to the Sem
ate. The age membership of the Senate is
rapidly lowering. Mr.. Smoot, the senator
elect from Utah, Is just forty. Senator
Kearns, the other senator from Utah, Is
exactly the same age. Senator Dolliver Of
Iowa is only two years older than Mr..
Long, and Mr.. McCumber Of North Dakota
Is just forty-fve. Bailey of Texas is lorty;
Beverage of Indiana Is just the same age.
Penrose of Pennsylvania is forty-two and
Kittridge of South Dakota Is forty-one.
Senator Heitfeld of Idaho is forty-four;
Senator McLauren Of Mississippi, forty
two; Senator Carmack Of Tennessee, forty
five. and Senator Burton Of Kansas, forty
six. Most of these were as young or
younger than Mr.. Long when they entered
the body So
Wednesday the Kansas legislature elected
by unanimous vote of its republican men,
bers Chester 1 Long to be United States
senator for SIX years, his term beginning
March 4. 1903. Mr.. Long is now the rep

"LosT MONDAY"
Popular Fete in Belgium the Origin Of
Which is Mystery.

Brussels Corr New York Times.
Today being the first Monday after
Epiphany is fete day throughout Belgium
Lost Monday 1t is called here; exactly
why no one seems able to explain The
origin of the fete is lost in the legends of
the middle ages. but the modern accepta-
ton of the day is certainly lost to no one
here. Like Mardi Gras. Lost Monday Is
day of general merrymaking: every cafe
and restaurant in Brussels keeps "open
house." and free drinks are on hand for all
patrons Of the establishment, and as
matter of fact for many others as well who
are not regular patrons.
On Black Monday, then. as 1t is Ironically
called by some of King Leopold's subjects
not overenchanted with the day, the streets
of Brussels are given over to the people,
and the adventurous foreigner who, igno-
rant of the countrys customs, ventures out
is apt to find that the Belgian populace Is
no respecter of persons. On this day the
shopkeepers, signing behind their counters,
find themselves compelled to hand over to
their customers servants a forced contri-
button, amounting to a certain percentage
of the years purchases. while the bakers.
too, have contribution to offer in the
shape of cakes specially made for the oc-
CASTOR, and offered as gifts to their cli-
entele. 49, z-e
In this manner the unique fete Is perpet-
uated, though the calendar. does not note
in any particular manner the first Monday
after Epiphany.

land. Our trade with the Chinese brings
IN nothing like as much as our trade with
the Dutch. and in it's possibilities it IS
worth as much as the business of any OF
the countries of Europe. with the exception
of England, Germany, France and that un-
developed empire. Russia.
Uncle Sans Trade With Holland.
Just now Is the best time to increase this
trade. The Dutchmen do not like the
English. They can't get over the troubles
of their South African cousins. the Beers,
and other things being equal they will give
the United States the preference every
time. There are hundreds of articles which
we make that ought to be sold here. and by
studying the wants of the people and drum
ming the trade there can be an enormuos
increase.
But first let me tell you what our business
now consists Of / have before me the
Dutch imports from the United States for
the first half Of the year 1900. They are a
little old, but the trade Is practically the
same today. I viii give you some of the
items They consist Of cotton. cotton seed
oil, lard, tallow, margarine, meat and to-
bacco, as well as large variety OF other
articles.
The cotton they bought amounted to
twenty million pounds. equal to more than
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-01-31

three million pounds Of cotton per month.
This went to the Dutch mills and large
part Of 1t was made into cloths for Java,
Sumatra and different parts OF Africa
