 The Suspected Murderer of Harriet Bell.
 BROOKLYN, May 17.-George A. Bell, who was yesterday arrested by Officer Ulrich upon suspicion of being the murderer of Mrs. Bell of Boston, was before Justice Fisher this morning. Previous to arraigning him the magistrate had 8 private conversation with the officer to ascertain upon what facts his suspicious were founded. The officer said he had known Bell for twenty years. During that time he had been known as a professional tramp. When under the infu- ence of liquor he was very ugly customer to deal with, and had served a term in the Baltimore penitentiary for shooting man in that city. When in this city he has habited disrepu table places in the Eastern District. He had been there for some time previous to January. Then he disappeared. Three days after the murder he reappeared in the Eastern District. The officers suspicious were aroused and he began an investigation. He claims he can prove that Bell went to Boston and after the murder left Boston on a dredg
 CT. Bell claims that he went to Philadelphia and Baltimore. He gave his residence as 1G1 Willett street. Investigation proved that to be untrue. The officer claimed that if time were given him he could produce evi- dence that would positively convict the man, The description sent to Boston, but the authorities of that city think the man is not tall enough. Upon direction of the magis- trate charge of vagrancy was made against Bell and as he could not give 8 good account of himself he was sent to the penitentiary for two months. During that period the officer will occupy his time in securing his evidence.

Visions Of Home Rule Fade Away.
 CAIRO, May 17-All the ambitious hopes which have been entertained for home rule for Egypt have been wholly destroyed by the events which have occurred during the last few hours The ministry having humbled themselves before the Khedive and in this way effected reconciliation with him, the ministers sent message to the French and English consuls expressing hope that the allied French and English fleets will be with drawn, but to this request the consuls re- turned reply that compliance with it would be impossible The fleet will enter the port and the English and French consuls will de- mand the disbandment of the Egyptian army and the punishment of the colonels who pro- noted the late emeute. They will also insist on the liberation of the Circassian officers who formed a conspiracy against Arabl Bey, and upon their exile from Egypt. It is diff cult to describe the excitement that prevails here in consequence of these events, but no outbreak of any importance is feared at pres ent.
