LONDON, Jan. 15. -- Vanity Fair's correspondent at Rome writes:

"The death of the Pope may be expected any day as his Holiness can only be said to be just alive. He takes nourishment and is generally half unconscious. He suffers no pain and simply dozes the hours away without comprehension of what is going on around him."

Word was received here today that Colonel Boyle, who recently recovered from a severe accident, was very ill with acute pneumonia and small hopes are entertained for his recovery.

DEATH OF E. T. DUPUIS

At an early hour this morning Edmond Theodore Dupuis passed away at his home in this city, after an illness of but two days. Deceased was a native of Canada, aged 29 years and 8 months and leaves a wife, father and mother and brother.

Ed. Dupuis was raised in this city, coming here with his parents at an early age. He soon developed talents that were fully exercised some eleven or twelve years ago when he established The News. This venture proved a splendid success and its editor showed a marked individuality of style that won for him an enviable place in the history of Nevada journalism.

Later on, he abandoned the newspaper business for that of attorney-at-law, his keen intellect contributing to a splendid success in the later vocation as well. A few years ago, he became a sufferer from lung troubles and spent some time in the balmy climate of California hoping to be cured, and believing so he returned to Nevada. Saturday night while talking to friends he was taken with a severe hemorrhage of the lungs and at 2 o’clock this morning he passed away.

Two million and a half in American dollars is what the cable from San Francisco to Honolulu cost. The English manufacturers get about $1100 a mile for it laid and spliced and in every serviceable condition. The wire alone connecting San Francisco and Honolulu represents that much actual cash paid over by an American millionaire to an English manufacturing concern. And very many little messages at the rate of fifty cents a word must go through the wire in order to pay interest on the capital invested, and thousands of words must pass to yield a profitable income.

Waikiki beach, where the cable is landed, is just four and two-thirds miles from the center of the city of Honolulu, where the cable office is located.
