Early notion lias been takei) ■to provent Jim Larkin, the notorious Dublin agitator., who was oti: his way to Australia, from landing either in Sydney or in $ow Zealand. The mail steamer , on which Larlcin was a passenger was to call afc Audi land finst. 1. Accordingly the captain received; peremptory instructions to drop the 'Dunlin notoriety at Pago Pago, in American Samoa. Pago Pago is in touch with Sydney by moans of a three-weekly service. Larkin is said to have expressed great indignation when the ship authorities told him that he could not proceed further on the voyage. He wantfcd to be allowed to go as far as Auckland, but this was refused, the captain'informing hihrn that his orders were im- { porative. It was thought by the passengers that Larkin would return to America by the first, available boat, as the embargo placed upon him has been notified to all steamship owners plying between the Samoan group and New Zealand. Even if he showed up in Sydney, remarks the Sydney "Sunday Times," he would be bound to be de- 1 nor ted, so that the chances are that by now he has accepted his exclusion i in a raoi'e or less philosophical spirit. ■ . ■■ j
