party went to Quito. Ecuador. to sur
vey northward until 1t met the first
party. The third corps was to survey
southwark from Quito through Ecuador
and Peru to Lake Titicaca, on the bor-
der of Bolivia.
The object OF the surveys did not con-
template the location OF a railroad OF
the preparation of detailed estimates,
but simply the ascertainment of the
feasibility of constructing the trunk
line within the limits Of reasonable cost
The character OF the whole work is
therefore OF the nature of a preliminary
railroad survey with descriptive men,
oirs and approximate estimates. The
surveys resulted, however. in n good
deal of valuable geographical work.
In brief. the recommendations OF the
commission, based upon its surveys.
may be summed up in the statement
that the proposed intercontinental route
will follow meridional valleys or val
leys bearing approximately north and
south among the cordilleras. The line
is to be connected with important cen
ters by branch railroads, some of which
are already built, though the longer
branch lines must be constructed.
The entire main line will follow the
axis of the cordilleras from the south
ern border of Mexico to Lake Titicaca
At that lake the railroad is to pass 10
the east of the Andes ranges, utilizing
lines already bullt or projected to car
ry the route south as far as Huanchaca.
Bolivia.
The line passes through every state
Of Central America and all the Pacific
coast states Of South America except
Ing Chile, whose chief coast towns,
Antofagasta. Valparaiso and Valdivia,
will be connected with the trunk line by
branch roads already in operation.
The commission estimates that the to-
tai length of the all rail route from
New York city to Buenos Ayres will be
),22S!O6 miles. OF this 4,771.93 miles are
already built, leaving 5,456.13 miles to
be constructed. The estimated cost for
grading, masonry and bridges on the
road to be built is $174,290,271.
When this n-American railroad was
first conceived, nothing was said about
extending II farther north than Sau
Francisco, but now the project needs
amending. why not have a railroad d
from one end OF the western hemi-
sphere to the other?" Is being asked
And why not? The center of Alaska
Is being pierced by iron rails. If the
Transsiberian railroad should be pushed
through to the shores or Berlng sea,
the pan-American would meet 1t at
Cape Prince OF Wales. and an all the
way around the world railroad would be
the result.

other folks besides Cecil Rhodes and
the czar can dream of continent link
Ing railroads. Uncle Sam has some very
definite dreams about this sort of an
enterprise. In fact, he has talked the
plan over with his neighbors, and the
beginning of the new century may see
his dream realized. 1t Is quite within
the bounds OF probability that within a
dozen years or so a passenger may take
railroad train In New York city and
ride clear to Buenos Ayres.
over nine years ago the intercontl-
mental railway commission was called
into existence at Washington to study
the feasibility Of constructing trunk
line from the United States through the
republics to the south of us. so that by
means OF this line and branches run
ming from It all the Latin states OF the
Americas might have direct land COM
municatlon with this country. The sur
veys and other studies that the COM
mission undertook were completed in
1898. but 1t has taken a long time to
work out the enormous mass of data
collected by the survey parties, and the
full report of the commission has only
Just appeared.
The commission grew out of the delib-
erations of the international American
conference which assembled in Wash
ington, by invitation of congress, on
Oct. 2, 1889. nearly all the Latin repub-
lies being represented This conference
recommended the appointment of an In
ternatlonal commission of engineers OF
whom each nation should appoint three
with authority to employ as many other
engineers and workmen as were needed
to study proposed routes for the inter,
continental railroad.
Congress appropriated s65,000 as tht
share of the United States toward tht
preliminary survey. All the countrie!
interested were expected to contribute
to the cost in proportion to their popu
lation. The commissioners appointed
by the various republics held their frs
meeting in Washington on Dec. I, 1890
when Mr.. A. J. Cassatt. one of the dele
gates from the United States, was elect
ed president.
The commission at once organized
three survey parties. One OF them wen
