BROKERS BADLY NIPPED,
Blue Jay Corner Manipulation S
at Denver Meet With
Disaster.
Ruin and Disgrace Confronting the Con.
spiratorS-Consternation Among
the Dupes.

DENVER, CoLo., March 14.-The corner
attempted by Brokers Randall and Roger
in Blue Jay yesterday proved disastrous
to the schemers and dragged in many of
the outside brokers who had attempted to
scalp the market. J. II. Roger failed to
appear at the Clearing house to-day and
$4,000 shares were sold out by the secre-
tarv of the Exchange. His shortage to
the Clearing house was over $36 900, while
to other brokers it was very much more.
Because of Rogers failure Brokers Ger
araghty and Keithley were unable to clear
and they, too, were sold out, all three be-
ing suspended. Randall evidently pro-
tected himself at the expense of his asso-
ciates in the scheme. The stock dropped
from 90 cents on yesterdays quotation to
4 cents to-day.
This affair has created great sensation
and much Indignation among the brokers,
who were forced to settle by giving checks
instead of receiving the profits they
thought they had made yesterday.
Trouble now awaits Randall on Monday,
when he must meet his futures.
The Blue Jay Company disown any
knowledge of this conspiracy of the brokers
to corner the stock. On contracts 90, ,00C
additional shares will be issued by the
company on Monday.
During the furry of Friday Roger loaded
up with Ia, 900 shares, most of which was
on cash transactions, while Randall KEEP,
shy of cash trades and dabbled in futures

4 Whale That Was Valuable Contribu
 tor to Science.

\ Whale That Was Valuable Contribu-
 tor to Science.
 A very strange thing happened tc the prince of Monaco's steam yacht Princesse Alice, near the island of Terceira in the Azores last summer. The prince has devoted his yacht to the study of the ocean and it's inhabitants, and many important facts have thus been gathered for science. On the oc- casion referred to a sperm-whale, or clchalot, about 45 feet long, was har- pooned by some fishermen, and in it's dying struggles it made direct for the Princesse Alice. If it had struck the little yacht the consequences might have been very serious, but just when the collision seemed inevitable the whale dived. and coming up on the other side of the yacht, turned upon it's back in the death-agony. At this in stant the bodies of three gigantic ephalopods-th class to which cut tlefishes belong were ejected from the whales mouth. These were se- cured by q boat from the yacht, and later the bodies of number of curious inhabitants of the sea were found in the whales stomach. The cephalo- pods belong to a new species. Other captures that the whale had made were so interesting as to lead Mr. J. '. Btu chanan, the naturalist. to remark in d recent number of Nature: ''The each. alot which was killed by the whalers ct Terceira almost under the keel of the Princesse Alice seems as if it had been guided in the pursuit of it's food bs- a desire to devodr nothing but animals which, up to the present., are com pletely unknown"
