He held several local offices, was elected to the Maryland senate in 1881, and in 1885 be- came president of that body. On the appointment of Gov. Robert M. McLane to the French mission, in March of that year, Mr. Lloyd became ex-officio governor of the state, and in January, 1886, he was chosen by the legislature to fill the unexpired term, ending in 1888.

LLOYD, James, physician, b. on Long Island in April, 1728; d. in BoVon, 14 March, 1810. His grandfather, James, came from Somersetshire, England, about 1670. The grandson studied medi- cine at Stratford, Conn., at Boston, and in London for two years, and, on his return to Boston in 1752, obtained an extensive practice. He was for some time a surgeon at Castle William, and in 1764 was a strenuous advocate for general inoculation. He was a moderate Loyalist, and remained in Boston while it was occupied by the British troops. In 1789 he went to England to obtain compensation for losses that he had sustained during the Revolu- tion ; but his application was refused unless he should consent to declare himself a British sub- ject, which he did not feel disposed to do. — His son, James, statesman, b. in Boston in 1769; d. in New York, 5 April, 1831, was graduated at Har- vard in 1787, and afterward engaged in mercantile pursuits for some time. He visited Europe about 1792, resided for a year at St. Petersburg, and, on returning to Boston, was elected in 1800 a member of the state house of representatives. After a re- election he was chosen first to the state senate and then to the U. S. senate as a Federalist in place of John Quincy Adams, serving from 7 Nov., 1808, till 1813, when he also resigned. He was afterward re-elected in place of Harrison Gray Otis, serving from 2 Dec, 18.22, till 23 May, 1826, when he again resigned.

LLOYD, Thomas, governor of Pennsylvania, b. in Dolobran, Montgomeryshire. Wales, about 1640; d. in Pennsylvania, 10 Sept., 1694. He was gradu- ated at Oxford in 1661, became a Quaker, and in 1664 was arrested and kept under surveillance till 1672, when Charles II. dispensed with the laws that inflicted punishment for religious offences. He became a physician and enjoyed a large prac- tice; but in 1683 he and his family came to this country with William Penn, who made him master of the rolls on 27 Dec He was chosen to the pro- vincial council in January, 1684, and as its presi- dent administered the government, after Penn sailed for England in August, till 9 Dec, 1687, when he was one of an executive commission of five that held power for ten months. He was again elected to the council in 1689, and took his seat in spite of the opposition of the governor, John Blackwell, with whom he and others of the Quaker party had a controversy. Blackwell was removed from office by Penn, and Lloyd was again chosen president of the council and afterward com- missioned lieutenant-governor by Penn, holding office in 1690-3. During his administration the schism headed by George Keith (q. v.) took place. He published "An Epistle to my dear and well beloved Friends of Dolobran," etc, dated 1682 (Philadelphia, 1788), and a " Letter to John Eccles and Wife," dated 1682 (1805).

LOAYZA, or LOAYSA, Jeronimo de (lo-i'-sah), Spanish- American bishop, b. in Truxillo, Spain, about 1500; d. in Lima. Peru, in 1575. He be- longed to one of the noblest families in Spain, and at an early age entered the College of Saint Paul of Cordova, where he joined the Dominican order, and went to the College of St. Gregory in Valladolid to finish his studies. He embarked for America in 1526. Carthagena was assigned him as a field of missionary labor, and he devoted himself zealously to the conversion of the natives, and, notwithstanding the extreme heat of the cli- mate and dangers of every kind, he visited the barbarous tribes along the coast, converting many of them to Christianity. After five years he re- turned to Spain to defend the Indians and de- nounce the conduct of their conquerors, who, in contempt of the repeated orders of the emperor, persisted in enslaving the natives. In 1537 he was nominated bishop of Carthagena. As a condition of acceptance he desired that Charles V. should display more energy in the protection of the Indi- ans, build a cathedral and a Dominican convent in Carthagena, and send out six missionaries of the order even' year to his diocese; and all of these petitions "were granted. He then gathered a colony of priests and monks from the Dominican and other communities and distributed them through every part of his immense diocese. He began his cathedral in 1538, and was engaged in founding a school in Carthagena, after the model of the propaganda in Rome, for the education of the children of the caciques and principal Indians, when he received letters from Charles V. announcing his translation to the see of Lima, which was created in 1540. He reached Lima in 1543, and (hiring the insurrection of Gonzalo Pizarro offered his services to the viceroy, Blasco Nunez de Vela, and consented to visit Pizarro in Cuzco with the view of obtaining his submission. Although he was at first received with distrust by the rebels, many of them were finally convinced by his arguments and spoke of going to Lima to make their submission, when the auditors, irritated by the obstinacy of the viceroy, opened the gates of Lima to Pizarro. Loayza was prominent in the events that followed, and after the defeat of Pizarro prevented the victors from coming to blows over the spoils. Meanwhile the see of Lima had been erected into an archbishopric, and he received the pallium and the bull by which he was named archbishop of that city. As soon as peace was re-established he summoned a provincial council in 1552, in which he defined the path to follow for the instruction of the Indians, and
