Berlin, October 9.-In conformity with the wish of Emperor William, the Prussian Cabinet recently forbade the further use of the accumulator system upon the street railroads in Berlin, at the same time pro- longing the charter of the Great Berlin Street Railway Company from 1919 to 1949, without consulting the Berlin municipal authorities. Thereupon the latter vented their indignation in secret session, denounc- ing the step taken as seriously infringing the city charter, and passed resolution to file strong protests.
