ANOTHER ABSURD RUMoR.-One of our cable
dispatches gives us to understand that
rumor prevailed in London yesterday to the
effect that some hitch had taken place in the
diplomatic relations Of Germany and that
grave apprehensions were entertained lest
serious trouble should be the result. It has
been well known for some time that the Ger
man authorities feel somewhat irritated by the
language employed by Frenchmen of all
shades Of political opinion. Bourbons, older
and younger, republicans and Bonapartists, all
freely speak Of revenge. France recovered
must yet measure swords with Germany, must
wipe out the disgrace of Sedan and restore
once more to France the provinces of Alsace
and Lorraine. 1t is simply absurd, however,
to imagine that for many years to come Ger
many and France can come into serious COLI
sion. France may talk as grandiloquently as
she chooses. So long as the government of
Versailles abide by their obligations and con-
tinue to pay the war indemnity punctually
Prince Bismarck can afford to be Indifferent
