| The following IS the full text of re- cent opinion of Attorney General Fra sier in regard to the requests or the authorities Of Navajo and Gils coun- ties. made to the Territorial Loan com. mission. to fnnd the indebtedness of those coun ties:
 OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERALl
 PHOENIX, ARIZONA, November 2, 1897.
 Loan Commission, Territory of Arizona
 Gentlemen--Keplying to youf inquiries con- cerning the funding of the outstanding iAdebt- edness of Navajo and Gila counties, beg leave | to submit the following opinion:
 AS to the demand of Navajo county for you to fund $70,0O0 of bonds issued to Apache county. Navajos demand is all right but Apache coun- ty must give its consent before you can fund Navajo county bonds bearing high rate of iu- terest and in my opinion, before you can act at | all, such request must come from Apache county
 The reason you cannot do this is simply this You cannot substitute new contract for one al 1 ready in existence without the consent of all parties bound by both.
 As to funding the Gila county indebtedness, amounting to s34, .O5, including principal and interest. the Eighteenth Legislative assembly, by Act No 2, entitled an Act for the Relief of Gila County, attempted to provide for this in. debtedness Section provides as follows "Sec l. That the territorial treasurer is hereby su- thorized Gnd directed to exchange forty thou- sand dollars of territorial funding bonds for forty thousand dollars of the evidences of said indebtedness of Gils county which existed pri- or t. December s1, 1890, consisting of county warrants. which were inadvertently provided "a hH- Dtu aip n, cember 31, 1890, and other indebtedness created in lieu thereof, under misconstruction Of said act of CO gress."
 The $40,0O0 funding bonds alone provided fer were issued by the territorial treasurer to Gila county, but for some reason they never were sold or exchanged es provided for iu said act, and now gre in the possession CT eai@ county This .-.. pond c .<---sr--- --'.-,e- s7s74..7 be re- .-nea to you at 1nce. Il. ,4,1i.ori.. treasurer has no ar h0rity whateV.r to issue ,hafn to be officials o that county without first having iA his possession the evidences of In | debtedness of Gila county In the amount turned over. He is not authorized by said legislative | enactment to issue boids to Gila county in any | amount, but to exchange territorial funding | bonds for evidences of indebtedness of Gila county
 When these bonds are returned there are two ways in which Gih county's indebtedness which Is general county warrants, can be funded.
 First-By selling 4.72S 05 of funding bonds. and through the proper officers of Gila county, pay of these Wa rants
 SecOnd-By Gila county, or some one who has the money, buying these Gila county warrants. and exchanging them for territorial funding bonds
 You are authorized by the funding act and l amendments thereto tO do the first and be heve would be complied blythe same law to do the latter.
 Most respect ully submitted,
 C. NJ FRAZIER lttorney General.

 written by the wife of Cabinet mem-
 Der to her sister at home, are detailed
 her actual experiences in Washington frankly and freely given. The letters were written without any intention of publication. They give intimate peeps behind the curtain of high official and social life. They are absolutely fear less, they study Washington life under the searchlight as it has never been before presented. The President and the highest officials of the land, with the most brilliant men and women of the Capital, are seen in the most famil- far way. As these are all actual experis ences the name of the writer is with held. The letters will doubtless excite much shrewd guessing by readers and and study of internal evidence to dis cover the secret. The Experiences" which will be beautifully illustrated, begin in the December number and will continue for several montes.

AN INTERNATIONAL EPISODE.
Consul Navarro's Expe fence With the
 American Raffie.

There will be some litigation in Jus tee Kinca.d S court tomorrow after noon amounting almost to an inter national affair. It is consequent upon the arrest at Wickenburg On Tuesday of W. G. AItenIburgh, the photograph CT, on complaint of the Mexican con- sul, Senor Navarro, charging him With embezzlement. Altenburgh, who has been resident Of Phoenix for two years, had gone into the mountains about Wick enburg to take photographic views. His labors were interrupted and he was brought to the ely yes terday morning. He gave bail at day light, employed G. P. Bullard to de- fend him and has since been splitting on his hands preparatory to the slaughter set for 3 D. m. tomorrow.
 The complaint sworn 10 by SenGr Maya TO, Altenburgh says, is based on the following transaction: Some time ago he had tandem he had no further use for and knew Of no more advan- tageous way to dispose Of il than the railing process. In the course of his sale of tickets he visited the residence of the Mexican consul. This was a kind of commercial transaction cute new to Senor Navarro and he g CIV in- terested. It is not stated in the rec ord that he bought a ticket, but imagining Altefnburgh to be a profes- sional raffller, he told him he had some jewelry his family had outgrown and he wanted it rallied off Altenburgh replied that railing was not his regular employment, only a sort of casual recreation. He would take the jewe!ry and do his best. The jeWelry consisted of a pair of ear rings, which the consul says are cheap at SIS. Altenburgh say they are dear at S6. After waiting for what seemed to be to him an unreasonable time for results from the railing, the con- sul wrote Ito Altenburgh, saying that if that hazardous event had not yet eliminated, he would be glad to have the earrings back. Altenburgh had rallied the goods off to his best girl so he wrote Senor Navarro saying that he had decided to keep the jew elry and pay for 1t as soon as he re- ceived a draft he was then expecting from Texas. He further says that the tenor of this letter is in consonance with what he believed to be an un- derstanding between him and the consul at the time he took the ear rings, that if he could not dispose of the goods in a raff1e he Wou'd likely buy th m h m eff. A few days af CT the receipt of this note in reply to his ultimatum, Senor Navarro put his grievance in the form of a crim- inal complaint.
 Altemburgh says he has a disclosure to make by which he will show that Ccncul Navarro is not fit person to represent his country abroad

.I see that a late number of the Haberdasher states that pig loud plaids are not in it when it comes to the late styles in shirts," said MT. F. Hollingsworth, of the Trinity, yes,er- day to a Republican representative. Now, I want to show you that the Haberdasher is just a little off. Here is a copy of the Apparel Gazette of Chicago which says that among other very late things in ties and shirts, big, bright colored plaids will predomi- nate" Continuing, Mir. Hollingsworth said: "The Trinity claims to have the most up4to-date stock in gents furnishings in Arizona. 1 personally spent some time in the eastern fac tories selecting cur stock and have here over fifty different patterns of the latest styles in shirts. All bosom goods are made on white bodies, but the bosoms are of all colors and shades. Of course in many the plaids or stripes are narrow and the colors tame but nevertheless the big loud ones are late and very sty .ish. Tn soft shirts the bodies are nearly all of bright colors and the stripes or piaids large. In colOrs the wide ones take the lead this year and we have all the shapes now on exhibition.
