Following up the agitation caused by an interview in a Denver paper with reference to the fate of an alleged Mormon Mor-mon colony from Honolulu, au emissary of The TniKS called at the Gardo house. No sooner had his thumb fallen upon the electric button that stares like a glass eye from the colnmus of the historic mansion, than the door swung ajar and the visitor was urbanely ushered ush-ered into its portals. "You will tind it almost impossible to secure audience from the president at this time," said the doorkeeper. "He is engaged in a meeting thai will detain him several hours." "But you will submit the clipping?" The polished messenger taking the copy of The Times that contained the alleged expose disappeared through tho door of the hallway and the chronicler was left to coutemplate an oil painting that revives one of the most eventful chapters in the history of Mormonism. It depended depend-ed from tli8 wails of the office and on its ornate and lurid canvass is agaiu to be read a legent that has kept alive for years. It was while the reporter was studying this that Mr. Reynolds, the official of-ficial seeretory of the cabinet, made his appearance. "The president." said he, "will be unable un-able to recogni.e anyone whatever for several hours, but takes pleasure iu referring re-ferring vou to Mr. Frederick Mitchell of the Home Coal company, will furnish fur-nish you with the desired information."
