HONORED IN PARIS
DOrtha Klumpke Gets the
ID. M. Degree.
The First Woman Upon Whom II Has
Been Bestowed in France Is
Californian.

a cablegram from Paris to THE CALL
yesterday afternoon announced that Miss
DOrtha klumpke of San Francisco had
just passed brilliant examination for the
degree OF Doctor of Mathematics in that
city. To her many friends and acquain:-
aDces here this information will be good
news, for although comparatively little of
her life has been spent in California many
are her correspondents from her native
city, and they have watched with uniform
interest her career since she has made her
home abroad.
Miss Klumpke was born in San Fran
cisco on August II, 1865. in a little house
at the corner of Larkin and Chestnut
streets, since replaced by more elegant
home, and now owned 5y her father. She
entered the public schools here when
about 5 years of age, and here the founda-
ton for the education she has since re-
ceived was laid. There were five children

be legal f1ipfiap to make him n merchant
one Place and laborer another.
III this view of the matter be correct it is
reasonable to suppose that there are more
Chinese merchants in California than ever
before, and the first of the ranch or sh6
factory managers who is arrested because
he has not registered will furnish suit
against the constitutionality of the Nc
Creary law. that will robably be made TO
drag along for months, meanwhile, as with
the Geary act. the enforcement of the law
will be in allegiance. This is but one OF the
points that it is presumed the Chinese will
urge against the new law. but 1T is an i'm
portant one in view of the rapid increase
OF Chinese partners recently.
There IS another question bothering Col
lector Welburn and that is concerning the
certificates of registration already issued
TO Chinese, but which have no photographs
attached 10 them. Mr.. Welburn wants TO
know whether the Chinese who have these
certificates must again register. furnishing
photographs. or whether the certificates
they now have must stand. The law says:
The certificate herein provided for shall
contain the photograph of the applicant,
together with his name. local residence
and occupation, and copy of such ceTti-
tcate, with duplicate of such photograph
attached. shall be filed in the office in the
United States Collector of Internal Re-
venue of the district i'm which sucn China
man makes application. Such photographs
in duplicate shall be furnished by each ap-
plicant In such form as may be prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury"
he lawyers. as usual, disagree. Some
OF them say the law cannot be retroactive
and that the Chinese who are registered
and In possession of certificates need not
register again. Other lawyers say that
those who have registered must take out
new certificates. If the latter is the view
taken by Commissioner Miller 1t will un-
doubtedly furnish another ground for con-
testing the new law, and if he hold that
the certificates without photographs are
sufficient, then the Federal officers fear
that the 5000 in existence will furnish
many with the means of remaining in tie
United States. for the certificates are easily
counterfeited
In fact, II has already been established
in the case OF Mock Hong's certificate that
the Chinese have found way of removing
photographs from certificates and replac-
ing the originals with others. and, as de-
scribed in The CALL a day or two ago, by
this method one certificate can be made to
answer for at least two and probably
more people.
Tue present outlook is that the Chinese
Will refuse to register. and if they are half
as successful in cOntesting the new law
as they were in fighting the Geary act they
will certainly have no cause for complaint.
In the meantime, the Six Companies, who
could have been crushed out OF existence
had the Geary act been enforced, are
stronger than ever, aud. while saying
nothing, are undoubtedly plotting and
planning to overthrow the laws passed to
restrict Chinese immigration.
