This inter-continental commission of en- gineers shall meet in Washington as soon as practicable to be- composed of not more than three engineers from each nation. The bill recites that so tar as the common interests will permit it should unite the principal cities lying in the vicinity of it's route, and that if this cannot be done with out great inconvenience, branch lines should be surveyed to connect this cities with the main line. The construction and operation of the railway shall be at the expense of the concessionaries and to the persons subletting the work.
