Independence, Mo-. April 6.-The Worlds
Conference of Latter Day Saints convened
in this city Saturday at II o'clock with go
delegates from various States of the Union
and foreign countries being present. Dele
gates are present from the Society Islands
and the Island OF Ceylon.
Joseph Smith, son of Joseph Smith. who
was killed at Nauvoo, H.. is the presiding
officer of the conference. The conference
was organized without delay, and during
the days session Denver delegates intro
duced a resolution that Andrew Carnegie
be called upon for u donation Of $4,000 for
the Graceland College and the furtherance
of the Latter Day work.
1t provoked a lively debate, in which the
methods of Carnegie in making money was
discussed.
Bishop Kelley, who Is likewise the treas
urer of the organization. favored the mat
ter. Elder w. Fl. Kelley. who resides near
Pittsburg. favored the idea of getting Mr..
Carnegie into the church and then his tith-
ing might amount to more than any gift
he might make to the organization.
When a vote was taken the Denver reso-
luton was defeated. and Carnegie escaped
another effort to secure money from MIN
for benevolent and church purposes.
Question OF Church Government.
During the session a grave question OIL
church government came up. Elder r.
Briggs Of the Indiana Mission was suspend
ed from the quorum of twelve by reason
of not silencing a minister under his
charge. He was tried by the twelve and
SUSPENSION followed. The minutes of the
twelve were expunged from the record by
President Joseph Smith as the head of the
church. The question to be settled Is wheth-
err the church will abide by the ruling Of the
twelve or that of Joseph Smith.
Few look for the turning down OF the
president in the matter, yet the delegates
in their speeches seemed to favor such a
course.
President Smith is the prophet Of the sect
and is Cs years of age. He has been the
head of the church since 1860. and its mem
bership exists in every State in the Union
and in many for ign lands. The Latter-Day
Saints nave quite a following in Illinois,
the old stamping ground OF Mormonism.
Reports received indicate a steady growth
of the church in various lands, especially
in the South Sea Islands. where there are

cation.
