The Austrian Delegation unanimously elected Dr. Rechbauer as its President, and upon assuming the chair he made a long speech on political subjects. The common estimates for 1877, together with a supplementary vote for the army and navy, and the final accounts for 1874, as well as the supplementary votes for the relief afforded to the refugees from Bosnia and the Herzegovina, were submitted by the Government.
