to the chiefs of the Church.
II Is the heritsge of the Saints. But
It is not believed by anybody that
every word an Elder or other leader
speaks is the word Of the Lord.
There is no one infallible in the
Church IL the Almighty has a
message for His Church He will
reveal it through the head. Here
in is order. But each member may
commune with his Maker, and by
the gift Of the Holy Ghost know Of
the doctrine or Of any communion

President Woodruff, like all the
true servantsof God, desires that the
whole body of the Church shall be
filled with light. Like Moses Of old,
he "wOuld to God that all the
Lords people were prophets" And
he exhortej them, in Conference,
to pray for the spirit OF revelation
to rest not only upon him and his
fellow Apostles, but upon themselves
and upon all Israel, that they might
receive more and more revelations
Of the mind and will OF God. That
is true "Alormonism," and no

From Samoa.

Yesterday afternoon we met Elder
Brigham Solomon, Of this city, who
returned from a mission to the Sa-
moan Islands on Thursday last. He
left here May IS, 1859, in company
with Elders B. Smoot, Isaac Ben
nett and Hyrum +. Booth. They
reached the Islands June l6, after
n pleasant voyage. The steamer
was met about two miles from
the shore by n native boat,
on which the Elders embarked,
and they were landed on the island
OF Tutuila, where they were met by
President Dean and other Elders.
Shortly afteTward they went to the
island Of Aunuu, and later TO that Of
Upolu, on which Apia Is situated.
AT first they were occupied in build
ing houses, and in studying the
language, and rs soon as they were
able, went among the people teach
ing the principles OF the Gospel.
A few months ago Elder Solo
mon was seriously affected
by the heat, and became quite i'll.
He never regained bis health, and
couple Of months ago dysentery
and vomiting set in. He was re-
leased TO return home, but did not
want to come, and thought he
would try IL a little longer. The
steamer calls but once a month, and
he did not start with the February
steamer. After the vessel had gone
he became worse, and President
Dean insisted on his return by
the March, steamer which he did.
In the islands there are now from
so 10 30 members Of the Church.
The people listen attentively to the
Elders, though in some places the
latter have been forbidden TO preach,
through the influence Of the Catho-
lies Brother Solomon reports the
Elders now on the islands as in fair
health. Elder VIM. o. Lee had n
severe attack Of malarial fever, but
has recovered. The health Of Sister
Lee has been very poor, but she was
feeling little better when Brother
solomon left. On one occasion her
life was almost despaired Of, and her
illness has been quite protracted.
Elder Solomon's health improved
somewhat on getting into n cooler
climate, but he Is not yet free from
his sickness

THEY WANT A STREET RAIL
ROAD.


THE inhabitants Of North Temple
Street and the northwest part Of the
city, TO the number of several hun
bred, have signed a petition asking
the City Council to grant to the
Salt Lake City Railroad Company a
franchise on the street named. The
signers ask that the franchise be
given to this company rather than
to the Rapid Transit Company for
the reason that the former have
guaranteed to have service in opera
ton within sixty days after the
grant is made, but that an indefi-
mite period may and probably will
elapse before the latter will get q
track laid through that part of
town.
The residents Of the portion Of the

that property is not valued ashighly

i,ers were injured, one so seriously
that he cannot survive.
Another rescuing party Of about
a dozen ventured into the mine and
returned 10 the surface in a few me-
ments with six Cinnamon. Several
explosions next occurred in rapid
succession, which led to the aban-
donment Of all attempts at rescue
for the time being, though il was
known that about thirty men were
still In the mine. These were most
ly Cinnamon. They are in immi-
nent peril, aud news Of their fate
