FRENCH SHIPPING TIED UP. STRIKE IN ALL PORTS Strikers Provide Harbor Watchers and There is
 No Violence.

Paris, May a1.-An admirably organ ized universal strike by all branches of the shipworkers of France has par alyzed life in the ports of the republic. Unlike sn arditiarv strtka. this move ment is not attended with bitterness against the employers or revolutionary feelings. The manifestations are made with the object of drawing the atten- tion of the country to the strikers cause. The naval reservists claim, in a manifesto issued to-day in which they ask the support of all classes, that it is impossible for the widows of seamen to support themselves and raise ehil- dren on the pensions granted by the government.
 The men are well-behaved, and an in stance of the sentiments back of the strike is the fact that harbor watchers have been provided by the strikers for all ships in port.
 The government is fully alive to the importance of the movement, and it has made arrangements to assure the continuation of the maritime postal services and the transportation of perl ishable cargoes. The cabinet will hold a special meeting tomorrow in an eff fort to find way to bring the strike to an end.
 The leading steamship lines are much embarrassed, and have appealed to the government to take rapid steps to re- move the cause of state of affairs by which they alone suffer, although they are in no way responsible for the strike.
 The French Transatlantic Steamship company officials have requested the government to lend them crews from the state naval depots, but no reply has yet been received.

WISCONSIN'S RACE.
Syracuse, However, Carries or the
 FOur-Onr.


 Madison. Wis, May S1-Wisconsin University won the varsity boat race with Syracuse University on Lake Mendota this evening and the Syracu- sans won the four-oared races. The races could not be rowed until after sundown, on account of choppy seas. Syracuse's four crossed the line al- most five lengths ahead, the time be- ing estimated at fifteen minutes.
 It was nearly dark when the eights set out for the starting point and the race could not be seen distinctly from shore. Not until the crews were near the goal could the shells be recognized and it was seen then that Wisconsin was slightly ahead.
 The varsity crew were about even for a mile and a half, although Syracuse had slightly the lead at the start Wisconsin then poked ahead a little and gradually increased the lead, eros sing the line about four lengths ahead of Syracuse, covering the two miles in 10.SA.
