Juneau Empire: Dispatches re- ceived from Washington today con- firmed statements that have been made on the streets by Edward l. Wade, who was a stenographer and clerk in the Governors office from early in August until the 18th of the present month, that he had filed charges against Gov. J. F. A. Strong.
 The Seattle Times correspond eut, according to the seattle dis patches, said in today's Times: Formal charges were filed against Gov J. T. A.. Strong with President Woodrow Wilson late yesterday af- ternOon.. The Alaskan executive is charged with retaining a republi- can in office, the said republican being William w. Shorthill, the Gov crnor's private secretary.
 "The charges against the Gov vernon are written on stationery from the executive office and are signed by William (Edward) I. Wade, who, it is presumed at Wash ington, is a former clerk in the Coy ernor's office. On plain paper Wade informs the President that he has resigned in order to be free to file charges against the Governor The charges against the Governor aver that Shorthill manifests "a Dartisanship of a particularly offen- sive and radical type, and that his incumbency of this important confi- dential and lucrative office is in de fiance of democratic protests of the most vigorous and trenChant char acter.'
 Tt is understood that the charges will be laid before Secretary Lane, Of the department of the interior, today and that he will determine what action will be taken"
 After resigning his position in the Governors office, MT wade stated that it was due to friction between himself and Mir. Shorthill, and for several days he has been conducting a more or less vocifer- ous campaign against the Governor for retaining ShOrthilI in his of- flee. He has stated that he had

The victoria was du to arrive from Nome at Seattle yes terday or today, and should be in Seattle again early in November, The information that comes from the south is that she will sail for Ju- ueau and other coast towns about November 10th to 18th,
 How long the Victoria will be kcp. on the Alaska coast run is not stated, but it is safe to say according to the information re Ceivod that she will continue all winter if the ore tonnage continues to be offered. Something, of course, will depend upon the length of time that may be required to overhaul the recently purchased Kansas City, and the time of the arrival of the freight carriers Ben ningtcn and Burlington,
 The victoria is the largest vessel engaged in the Alaska trade at the present time, and one of the fastest While an old vessel, she is well built, seaworthy and one of the tastes, American ships in the Alas ka service.

 When questioned regarding the charges this afternoon Coy. Strong replied:
 q have nothing to say jn regard to the matter, as I consider the charges too absolutely foolish to pay any attention to them, l shall make my answer to the Secretary of the Interior if I am called up- On to dc so."
 William w. Shorthill, in state uent given to The Empire today, said that he is not a republican and never has been one; that he has voted only once for president, and that was for William J, Bryan in 1896, and that he has taken lit tle part in politics in Alaska eX- cept to vote.
