PASSAGE.

Niagara Falls, August 26.—Amid scenes of Lense excitement, Lieut. W. T. van Rhyne, a Dutch swimmer | who was a prominent competitor in the Olympic Games, swam the rapids above Niagara Falls yester- day, making his way across only 100 yd above the brink of the cata- ract.

to return.

He swam steadily, though some times the powerful current of the mighty river seemed to be carry ing him towards the roaring cata- ract. Finally, ho completed his dangerous self-imposed task success-
