Heavyweight pass: fetched and read the full Deseret News proceedings for this conference (Apr 11, 1888 issue, pg. 199, 200-201, 204-205), via historicalgeneralconferences.weebly.com (newspapers.lib.utah.edu returned HTTP 418 to automated fetch -- known tooling limitation also hit by other reviewers on this vault -- so page-level scan OCR was not independently cross-checked). Cross-referenced the conference's own roll call of general authorities present and the full session-by-session table of contents to verify speaker, date, and session for every talk in this conference; this conference falls during the anti-polygamy 'Underground' period (no First Presidency existed yet; Wilford Woodruff sent a written epistle rather than appearing in person, and Apostle Lorenzo Snow presided). Replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with Abraham H. Cannon's real Fourth Day morning (Apr 8) remarks; session corrected from Afternoon to Morning to match.
