BLAME GRAND DUKE ALEXANDER.
A despatch from London says: The

largely by the activity of the Grand
Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, who ,or
two months has held a special command

venting gun -running through Finland.
\ The Russian occupation of the -Aland
, Islands, and the restless movements of
\ a Russian torpedo fleet around the Fin-
k nish coast. both angered, through the
heavy work, the men employed in it,
and greatly embittered the Finnish re-
Volutionaries. The RUSSUM officers had
an almost hopeless task. One of them
says that in the garrison artillery that
is apread among these islands there is
only one officer to 280 men. He him-

now one tater the other has been found
te be a distinct digease, until, 10 scien-
tific phraseology although not yet popu-
tarty, the term rheumatism is corning to
be restricted to acute rhetlinutlant of the
joints, or rheumatio fever. This disease
ie of uncertain nature, although it Is
generally believed to be ot bacterial era
gtn. How the bacteria act is what has
not been determined. Some investiga-
tors think they are carried by the bleeds°
to the affected joints; others believe that
they are conlInen to tke tenses, and
that the joint inflammation is caused
by the presence ot the poisons elabora-
ted by these hacteria and transported
