MADERO ON WAY
 ID MEET H|SS SON

Chihuahua, Mex, April 15.-(Via Laredo, the insurrecto leader; Alfonso Madero a son, and their party are expected to ar rive here tomorrow morning or afternoon in an effort to bring about peace in Mex ico. The father and son, who are travel ing on special train from Eagle Pass, Tex. will be provided with another special train on their arrival and hurried out in camp.
 Railroad officials received instructions late today to give every facility for the movement of the special train.
 The last reports received over railroad wires were that the train had not yet reached Torreon, where it was due at noon today. Under ordinary conditions the Ma deros should have arrived here at mid night. but the blowing up of the tracks pecessitated a clrcuitous routing
 Madero already has been informed of his fathers coming and has expressed interest in what the elder Madero has to propose
 The last message received from the insurrecto leader was:
 q consider my father a patriot in his efforts in behalf of peace and if any peace commissioners are to be appoint ed he will be one of them.
 "As to the prospects of peace, can not say. I prefer now to talk to my father and learn what Senor Limantour told him."
 When the Maderos leave here they will have a rought road through the | faf fuo n fn sx. surrecto camp. A delay may be caused until the younger Madero Is able to re. turn from a remote part of the interior and place himself at a point easily accessible from Chihuahua. Tonight he is near a town called Madeira, the ter. minus of the Mexican Northwestern railroad or about 15O miles from here
