Interpellation in the Second Chamber on May 2, 1899, occasioned by the fact that the Orange Free State and the South African Republic had not been invited to the Peace Conference in The Hague (see 1899.05, pp. 950–956), which was held from May 18 to July 29, 1899. The interpellation provides a well-documented explanation of each of the four questions that Kuyper posed to the minister of foreign affairs. The questions asked what the minister had done to get the Orange Free State and the South African Republic placed on the list of invited parties and whether the minister remained willing (cf. 1899.11) to introduce efforts that might still lead to both states being invited. The situation remained as it was and the Second Boer War (1899–1902) began on October 11, 1899.

This edition is hard to find. The story has it that the ship transporting the print run of this address was sunk on its way to the South African branch office of the publishing house Höveker & Wormser.
