SOME ExPlASATIoNs.-Mr Cadwalader, at
the citizens meeting Thursday night, in re-
ferrins TO the testimony of engineer AlIardt
did not, he says, wish to be understood that
Allardts testimony referred to was given in
the Keys case. 1t was report made to the
city of Marysgilie and testimony of Mr.. Al
lardt before a land commission. Also, re-
garding the statement of Mr.. j. r. Watson,
made at the meeting, that the bed Of Suisun
bay Is but six inches below the bed of the
Sacramento river at Sacramento, 1t appears
that his Information was in error. Surveys
in the Office Of the State Engineer show that
there Is bstween the two points at the lowest
water a iall Of nine feet, and 1t ordinary
highwataT, Of twenty-three feet, and from that
much higher in food times. It should be
added here, also, to correct false impressions
that might be drawn from these statements,
that it Is an established and demonstrated
engineering fact that whether Suisun bay is
full of water or Of mud makes no earthly
difference to the channel that the river makes
through it, I5 does make and keep chan
mel through 1t under all conditions, and
whether the ''fiN consists of debris or
water. the river meets it just the same and
