THE parlors of the California, Ho-
 tel were not large enough to con-
 tain the men and women, or rath-
 \ CT women and men, who respond ed last night to the call of the presl- dent of the Sanitary Commission and Red Cross League. Besides San Fran cisco's patriotic citizens, there were delegates from Berkeley and Oakland Red Cross societies, and representa- lives from various organizations, all eager to enroll themselves under the humanitarian banner with us or to be- come auxiliary to San Francisco S league.
 The main business of the meeting consisted in the appointment Of an ex- ecutive committee, composed of the leading philanthropic women and the foremost business men of the city This committee will meet on Wednesday afternoon. May 4, at the home of Mrs. John F. Merrill, it's presiding officer, on the northeast corner of Van Ness ave nue and Washington street, at 3:3O o'clock.

 We're fighting as surely for our country in this full membership of ours under the Red Cross" said an ardently loyal woman who addressed the meet ing last night, ''as though we had shouldered muskets and marched away with the soldiers from the Presidio, who are already at the front"
 The president of the commission as- sured those present that not one dollar of the sum to be contributed should be expended except for the purpose for which it had been given. In the event Of a speedy termination of the war, 1t should be returned by the Bank or Cal ifornia to the patriotic, open-handed COrCrs.
 When the meeting adjourned it broke up into countless small Red Cross leagues. which continued in eager dis cussion in the lobby of the hotel down the stairs and out into the street.

the day was consumed in a filibuster a.
gainst bill to pay the publishing house
of the Methodist Episcopal church South
at Nashville, Tenn, $2SS,000 for the
seizure and use of the property of that
corporation during the war. The oppe-
sition consumed the time until five
o'clock when the House adjourned.
When the House adjourned last night
the amendment to the Agricultural APP
preparation blu providing for the publ
cation Of another edition of the Horse

OF the amendment compromised with the

to the reduction of the number to be
printed from 10000 to $4,000. AS a
mended the amendment was adopted ant

sIR:-In the death Of Colonel
charles A. wikoff, Twehty-seeond uni
ted States Infantry. who was killed in
the assault on the defenses OF Santiago
on Friday last. the army loses one Of
its most reliable and meritorious Off
GERS. He was known and recognized as
an ideal duty officer, who never in his
long career sought to eVade the perils
and hardshlps Incident to the life Of the
soldier. He was beloved bP his subosdi-
mates, respected By his superiora, pop
uInr with tis associates, and possessed
all the attributes OF refined and poll
ished gentleman.
Colonel Wikoff entered the army In
June, 1861, as FIRST lieutenant OF the
Fifteenth United States IDfantry, and
rose to the rank OF colonel by regular
and successive promotions through the
several grades OF company andregiuen-
tai officers. For ten years the writer
served IN the same regiment with Colo
mel Wikoh. and In that long and inti-
mate association learned to know and
admire the many noble qualities OF
mind and heart that distinguished this
gallant soldier. HIS military record Is
replete with heroic deeds and though
modest and unassumlng he was in ev-
cry sense veteran among veterans. At
the battle Of Shiloh IN 1861, he was Sc
verely wounded and suffered the loss OF
his right eye. In the battle OF Chicka-
manga in September. 1868, where the
regular brigade, under General George
II. Thomas, saved the army OF the Cum
berland from disastrous route, he rem
dered conspicuous service, and in the
assault of Missionary Ridge in Novem-
Der 1864, Colonel Wikoff took protni-
neat part, and was brevetted major for
gallantry in that action.
Since his promotion to the colonelcy
Of the TwentY-second Infantry he has
been stationed nj Omaha Barracks IN
command Of his regiment. and although
he could have been retired on his own
application for length OF service he pre-
ferred to accompany his regiment and
share the dangers of the Cuban cam
paign. Colonel WiSoff leaves a widow
who resides at EastOn, Pa, to mourn
the loss Of brave husband, and to her
the public and the host OF personal
friends of Colonel Wikoft extend their
warmest sympathy. and find cOnsola-
tlon only 10 the knowledge that mis- mo-
BILE life has been sacrificed in the cause
of humanity, and in the advancement Of
the glory and honor Of his country.
